TO ADJUST AUGER CONTROL CABLE
TO ADJUST IDLER POSITION
The idler must be as close as possible to the drive belt
when the auger clutch is disengaged, but not so close
that it causes auger rotation.
WARNING: IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT
could result in death or serious injury. AUGER
BRAKE MUST DISENGAGE when clutch is
engaged. BRAKE MUST STOP AUGER
WITHIN 5 SECONDS of releasing auger
clutch bail.
WARNING: ROTATING PARTS can cut off
body parts. Keep hands and feet away. Loose
clothing, long hair or scarves can get caught
in rotating parts and cause death or serious
injury.
There must ALWAYS be some slight noticeable slack in
the auger control cable when the auger is disengaged.
This allows Extension Spring to pull idler Arm/Brake,
which applies the brake to the Belt.
To adjust the idler position:
IMPORTANT: If adjustment cannot be achieved, the
Drive Belt must be replaced.
The auger clutch bail should travel 6-3/4 to 7-1/4”
(17.1-18.4
cm) before contacting handlebar.
