Cub Cadet 945 SWE - Manual (Page 10)

4. If adjusting the auger cable, thread the lock nut down to
lengthen the cable as necessary to stop the auger from
turning when the control is released.
5. Securely hook the cable’s spring into the rear-most hole of
the respective actuator bracket.
6. Repeat the wheel drive and auger control tests to verify
proper adjustment. Repeat previous steps if necessary to
attain proper adjustment of each cable.
NOTE: If the cable requires adjustment, refer to the
instructions for Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls later
in this section.
Testing Drive Control & Shift Lever
1. With the engine turned off, move the shift lever into sixth
(6) position. Refer to Fig. 3-10.
2. With the wheel drive control released, push the snow
thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine should
move freely.
3. Engage the drive control and attempt to move the machine
both forward and back, resistance should be felt.
4. Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) position and
repeat the previous two steps.
5. If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either
when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when
attempting to move the machine with the drive control
released, adjust the drive control immediately. See
Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls.
Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls
1. From beneath the handle, pull downward on the
appropriate cable and unhook the spring found on the end
of the cable from its respective actuator bracket. Refer to
Fig. 3-10 and 3-11.
2. Slide the spring up the cable to expose the cable coupler
threads and lock nut. Refer to Fig. 3-12.
3. Adjust the lock nut as follows: If adjusting the drive
cable, thread the lock nut outward (down the coupler) to
lengthen the cable and allow the unit to move freely when
the control is released. Thread the lock nut inward (up
the coupler) to shorten the cable to reduce slippage and
prevent the machine from being easily moved with the
drive control engaged.
WARNING! Do not over-tighten the cable. Over-
tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging
and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.
