Section 4 - REPAIR & ADJUSTMENTS 

 

WARNING 

Before attempting any adjustments, maintenance, 
service, or repairs, stop engine and auger, always 
remove key from ignition switch, remove spark plug 
wire and secure wire away from spark plug. 

 

4.1  AUGER BELT ADJUSTMENT/REPLACEMENT 

When operating machine release the auger clutch 
control, auger should come to a complete stop in 5 
seconds. If auger does not come to a complete stop in 
the required time, check and adjust belt tension. 
Inspect belt frequently for signs of excessive wear. 
Observe drive belt for slippage due to wear when 
operating machine. If slippage does occur adjust as 
follows. 
 
4.1.1.  AUGER and DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT 
 (CABLE 

ADJUSTMENT) 

1. Measure control cable extension from a relaxed 
position to full extended position. Move control lever 
against handle. Measure from the top of spring (The 
top is in relation to where spring connects into 
connector). Proper extension should be 3/8” extension. 
See Figure 4.1. 

 

 

FIGURE 4.1 

 

2. Adjust control cable by loosening jam nut at the 
upper end of cable. Hold threaded end of cable and 
then turn cable clockwise or counter clockwise until 
correct extension is achieved. Retighten jam nut. 
 

IMPORTANT: DO NOT rotate cable beyond the point to 
where all of slack is out of cable. Cables have to have a 
certain amount of slack: When control lever is in the 
released position the cable slack allows: 1) Auger brake to 
stop auger. 2) Wheel drive to disengage. If all of the 
adjustment is utilized at the upper handle go to Section 
4.1.2. for alternate adjustment. 

4.1.2.  AUGER BELT ADJUSTMENT 
 

(IDLER PULLEY ADJUSTMENT) 

NOTE: Wheel drive belt idler pulley is not adjustable. If 
upper cable adjustment performed in Section 4.1.1. 
and correct cable extension can not be accomplished, 
adjustment can be made at the idler pulley. All 
adjustment made in Section 4.1.1. will have to be 
reversed from the upper end of cable. 
 
1.  
Loosen jam nut at the end of cable. Hold threaded 
end of cable and then turn metal housing of cable 
counter clockwise until threaded portion of cable is 
extracted from metal housing. Reinstall 1/2” of the 
threaded portion of cable back into metal housing. 
Retighten jam nut. 
2.  Remove belt cover. See Figure 4.2 

 

FIGURE 4.2 

 

3.  Loosen nut and bolt that secures the idler pulley. 
Move idler toward belt for more tension or away from 
belt for less tension. See Figure 4.3. Retighten bolt and 
nut securely.
