Auger Clutch
The auger must not turn unless the auger
clutch is engaged. The auger must stop within
5 seconds after the auger clutch is released.
If the auger no longer turns when the auger
clutch is engaged or if the belt slips under
load, the auger cable or belt may have
stretched. This can be compensated for by
adjusting the auger clutch cable.
Test the snow thrower to see if there is a
noticeable difference. If after the adjustment
to the control cable the auger still hesitates
when rotating, replace the auger belt.
The upper hole in auger clutch lever provides
for an quick adjustment method. To adjust,
unhook and move the clutch cable to the
upper position. Insert the cable from the
outside.
The cable adjuster link on the auger clutch

adjustment:
Slide up the spring cover and unhook the
spring from the adjuster link.
Move the Z-bend to a higher or lower hole
on the adjuster link as needed to obtain
proper auger clutch adjustment.
Hook the spring to the adjuster link and
slide the spring cover over the adjuster link.
Loosen the four flange lock nuts and
carriage screws which secure the scraper
blade to housing. Move the scraper blade
to the desired position and retighten the
nuts and screws securely.
Tip the snow thrower back to the operating
position and pull the starter handle a few
times to see if it is difficult to pull.
If the starter is difficult to pull, remove
the spark plug and pull the handle several
times to ensure that any oil trapped in the
head is removed.
Inspect the spark plug. If it is wet, clean off
any oil before re-installing.

Oil may come out of the spark plug
hole when it is removed and the
starter handle is pulled.
The clutch cable must contain some
slack when you disengage the clutch
lever for the auger to stop properly.
You can pull up the adjuster link and
cable to make unhooking the spring
easier.
