adjustment plate.
4. Adjustment is made by changing the position
of the lower cable in the adjustment plate
holes
(1 to 9). Only move the lower cable diagonally
one hole at a time from its original position.
Note: The upper cable end must be in the
upper single center hole of the adjustment
plate. Do not change the position of the upper
cable.
5. Connect the upper cable to the control handle.
6. Start the engine and engage the auger to test
the operation of the auger.
Note: With the auger control handle at the full
released position, the cable should be barely
tight. Some slack in the cable may be
required to ensure the auger pulley tension
pulley is not engaging the belt. There should
be no auger movement with the auger handle
released. If the auger is turning when the
auger handle is released, loosen the belt
tension by readjusting the cable as
necessary. Do not over tension the cable.
