Adjusting Auger Control Cable
Check the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. Make sure
that the tension on the auger control cable is adjusted so it has
between
1
⁄
4
-
3
⁄
8
in. (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. This movement can
be acquired by measuring the distance the engagement paddle
moves from its starting position and the point it becomes taut and
starts to engage the auger. If the slack is greater than
5
⁄
8
in.
(16 mm), please adjust. Proper tension is important because
you will want your snowblower to maximize belt life in heavy
snowfalls.
While operating the snowblower, if the auger control lever is too
loose, tighten the nut counter-clockwise while at the same time
rotating the bolt upward to reach the position of the nut (Fig. 23).
