MAINTENANCE
CHECK AND ADJUST THE CABLES
The cables are adjusted at the factory and no adjustment should be neces-
sary. If the cables have become stretched or are sagging adjustment will
be necessary.
6. Release the auger control lever. The auger must stop within 5 sec-
onds.
7. If the auger does not operate properly, stop the engine and recheck
the auger control cable adjustment.
Whenever belts are adjusted or replaced, the cables will need to be ad-
justed.
8. If the drive linkage is properly adjusted, the tension of the auger drive
belt may require an adjustment (see “Belt Adjustment” section).
