DRIVE SPEED CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING!
Entanglement Hazard – Use caution when
performing the speed control cable adjustment.
The speed control lever is connected to two cables that
work in tandem to control machine speed and direction. As
the speed control lever is moved from forward to reverse
gears (right to left) one cable is pulled and one is pushed.
Depending on if the cable setting towards forward or
reverse, adjustment of the cables will vary.
To adjust the cables, one cable should be moved up and the
other down equally in their respective brackets until there is
a positive direction change when the lever is shifted
between F1 and R1. The middle position between these two
settings is neutral (there is no actual neutral "notched"
position on the control panel).
1.
With the engine running engage the drive control handle
and move the speed control lever between 1 and R1 to
determine which way the cables need to be adjusted.
Release the drive control handle when shifting between
gears.
2.
Loosen the jam nuts on each cable (only one or two
threads) and move each cable up and down as required until a positive direction change is achieved
when the lever is shifted between F1 and R1. This may take multiple attempts to find the exact
setting.
3.
Tighten the cable jam nuts once the proper setting has been achieved.
AUGER BELT REMOVAL
WARNING!
Entanglement Hazard – Before performing any service procedures, make sure the engine is
off and remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug to ensure the engine cannot accidently start.
Note:
Record component position before disassembly, to assist in reassembly.
1.
Disconnect the upper cable from the auger control handle (Left side of panel).
2.
Remove 2 hex head screws and remove belt cover.
3.
Loosen the belt guide pin hex head screw (installed on engine crankcase) and rotate the pin away
from the pulley.
