To adjust drive engagement cable tension
After many hours of use, if fi rst gear seems to slip or seems too slow,
adjustments may need to be made to the Drive Engagement cable tension
to shorten the length.
To adjust the Drive Engagement cable (A):
1. Adjust cable tension by loosening the jam nut (B), next to the turn buckle (C).
2. Grasp the short section and hold while turning the long section to lengthen
the adjuster (C).
3. Turn the long section two turns and tighten jam nut.
4. Test the fi rst gear drive speed.
If fi rst gear appears to be too slow or slipping, repeat this procedure.
Auger performance and cable adjustment
E
NOTE: If you do not feel comfortable making this adjustment yourself, please
contact an authorized service center/department.
Adjustments may be needed if the impeller and auger rotation is sluggish
when engaging the auger control lever, or if the auger belt has been replaced.
To adjust the auger control cable (E):
1. Adjust cable tension by loosening the jam nut (B), next to the turn buckle
(C).
2. Grasp the short section and hold, while turning the long section to lengthen
the adjuster (C). Rotate the center barrel one full revolution.
3. Retest auger engagement. Repeat adjustment as needed until engagement
is no longer sluggish.
4. Have an assistant stand 10 feet in front of the machine, and on the opposite
side that the chute is pointing. The assistant should observe the rotation
of the auger and measure the time it takes for the auger to stop rotating
after you release the lever.
If the auger stops rotating after 5 seconds, readjust the cable by rotating the
center barrel one full revolution, so that the adjuster is contracting. Retest
the auger engagement and measure the stop time again.
If the auger stops rotating in less than 5 seconds, proceed to the next step.
5. Tighten the jam nut on the auger cable.
NOTE: If the adjustment does not resolve the problem, replace the auger belt.
See "To Replace Belts" in the Service & Adjustments section of this manual.
