ADJUSTING CABLE TENSION (FIG. 28)
Over time, the auger and drive engagement cables may
lengthen. To adjust cable tension, adjust the brass lock-
ing nut (C) and then adjust the cable bottle screw
(D
).
SNOW BLOWER BODY MAINTENANCE
Keep the body of the snow blower clean to prevent im-
proper operation or machine damage from dirt & de-
bris. Inspect all ventilation openings on the snow blow-
er. These must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Wipe down the snow blower’s housing with a damp
cloth and mild detergent. Dry it with a towel.
NOTE:
Do not clean the snow blower with water
alone – it will freeze in low temperatures and cause
machine damage. Do not allow soap or water into
the inside of your snow blower.
