spark plug.
Adjusting Self-Drive Control Handle Cable
Check the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. Make
sure that the tension on the self-drive 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 move the transmission adjustment lever. If the
slack is greater than
5
⁄
8
in. (16 mm), please adjust. Proper tension
is important because you will want your snowblower to move
forward properly in heavy snowfalls.
While operating the snowblower, if the self-drive 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. 25).

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. 26).
