Swing the left auger cable up making sure the
cable is routed correctly in the cable roller
guides located at the lower rear of the unit.
Hold the end of the cable at the barrel so the
ferrule turns freely without twisting the cable.
Thread the ferrule on to the Z fitting. You may
have to pull on the cable slightly to relieve
tension. Keep the ferrule turning without twisting
the cable.
You will reach correct adjustment when there is
minimal slack in the cable but it is nottight. Hold
the flats on the ferrule with pliers and tighten the
jam nut against the ferrule. CAUTION: Cables will
become loose ifyou do nottighten the jam nut.

on either clutch cable with the drive or auger

These clutches are a safety feature. Do not
override their function.
