SINGLE HANDLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: Standing in the operator’s position, the left
handle bar lever is for wheel drive engagement and
disengagement. The right handle bar lever is for
auger/impeller engagement and disengagement. Hold both
levers down to handle bar for engagement and release
levers for disengagement. When both levers are pressed
down to the handle bar at the same time, the operator can
release the right hand lever and the right lever will remain
engaged as long as the left hand lever is held down to
handle bar. Release the left hand lever and both levers will
disengage.
1. Hold the wheel drive control lever down against the
handle. See Figure 4.9.
2. Check position of the cam lock. It must align with
the adjusting line located on the cam lock bracket.
3. To adjust, loosen the nuts on the cable guide
support bracket and move the bracket in or out until
the cam lock aligns with the adjusting line. Retighten
nuts.
4. Hold the wheel drive control lever down to the
handle bar, at the same time press the auger/impeller
control lever down to the handle bar and hold in
position.
5. Check the position of the cable ferrule in relation to
the cam lock. The ferrule must be located 1/16” (.060)
above the hook of the cam lock. To adjust, loosen the
three nuts that secure the cam lock bracket. Slide
bracket up or down until correct measurement is
achieved. Retighten nuts securely. See Figure 4.9.
