AugerControlTest
IMPORTANT:Perform the following test before operating
the snow thrower for the first time and at the start of
each winter season.
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
• When the auger control is released and in the
disengaged "up" position, the cable should have
very little slack, but should NOT be tight.
,_ WARNING" Do not over-tighten the cable.
Over-tightening may prevent the auger from
disengaging and compromise the safety of the
snow thrower.
• In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower
engine as instructed earlier in this section under the
heading StartingEngine.Make sure the throttle is set
in the FAST position.
• While standing in the operator's position (behind
the snow thrower) engage the auger.
• Allow the auger to remain engaged for
approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing
the auger control. Repeat this several times.
• With the engine running inthe FAST position and
the auger control lever inthe disengaged "up"
position, walk to the front of the machine.
• Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows NO signs of motion.
IMPORTANT:If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating,
immediately return to the operator's position and shut
off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before
readjusting the auger control cable.
• To readjust the control cable, loosen the hex jam
nut on the auger control cable "Z" fitting.
• Rotate the coupling end of the cable
counterclockwise to provide more slack.
• Retighten the hex jam nut. See Figure 16.

• Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper
adjustment has been achieved.
ChuteClean-outTool

during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the
chute and chute opening:
1. Release both the Auger Control Lever and the
Traction/AugerControl Lock Lever.
2. Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which
secures it to the rear of the auger housing.
4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
remove any snow and ice in the discharge chute.
WARNING: Never use your hand to clear a
clogged discharge chute. Shut off engine and
remain behind handles until all moving parts
have stopped before unclogging.
,
6.
Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on
the rear of the auger housing, re-start the engine.
While standing in the operator's position (behind
the snow thrower), engage the auger clutch lever
for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow or
ice from the discharge chute before continuing to
clear snow.
