Adjusting the Auger Control Cable
DANGER
The discharge chute contains a rotating auger to throw snow.
Fingers or feet can quickly become caught in the auger
resulting in traumatic amputation or severe laceration.
• Over-tightening the auger cable may cause the auger to
rotate even if the auger control lever is not pressed down.
The auger should rotate only when the auger control is engaged
and must stop within 5 seconds when the auger control is
released. If the auger does not rotate or does not stop as
described, adjust the control cable or contact an authorized
service dealer to adjust the control cable.
