AUGER DRIVE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
The auger drive cable is adjusted at the factory and no
adjustment should be necessary. If the cable becomes
stretched or is sagging, adjustment will be necessary.
Whenever the belt is adjusted or replaced, the cable will
need to be adjusted.
1. Remove the z-hook (C, Figure 18) from the auger
drive lever (A).
2. Slide the cable boot, (A, Figure 1) if equipped, up the
auger control cable (B) until the cable boot does not
cover any portion of the cable adjustment bracket
(D).
3. Pull the auger control cable (B) through the eyehole
in the cable adjustment bracket (D) as shown by the
arrow in Figure 18. This will create enough slack to
allow the “Z” hook to be easily removed.
4. Install the “Z” hook (C) into the next available adjust-
ment hole in the cable adjustment bracket (D). This
is the adjustment hole located one notch down from
where the“Z” hook (C) was previously attached.
5. Pull the auger control cable (B) back through the eye-
hole of the cable adjustment bracket (D) until all the
slack is taken out of the auger control cable (B).
6. Slide the cable boot (A) back down over the cable
adjustment bracket(D).
7. Install the “Z” hook (B, Figure 18) to the auger drive
lever (A).
