Auger Drive Clutch Rod Adjustment
All auger drive adjustment is accomplished through the
auger drive clutch rod. The rod must be adjusted so that
there is 1/32” clearance between the spring hook and the
auger lever (see Figure 20). Proper adjustment allows
the auger brake to engages when the control is released.
To adjust the rod:
1. See Figure 20. Loosen adjustment hex nuts.
2. Tighten the upper adjustment nut until there is a 1/32”
gap between the spring hook and the auger lever.
3. Tighten the lower adjustment nut.
4. Recheck that there is a 1/32” gap between the spring
hook and the auger lever.
5. With engine running, fully depress Auger Control, the
auger should engage and run normally.
6. Release Auger Control. The auger must stop with-
in 5 seconds.
7. If auger does not operate properly, stop engine and
recheck clutch rod adjustments.
WARNING
Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the idler rod
lever and cause auger drive to be engaged
without depressing the Auger Control.
