Auger Control
WARNING
Prior to operating, carefully read and follow all
instructions below. Perform all adjustments to verify
your snow blower is operating safely and properly.
Refer to the Operation section on page 20 for the location of
auger control lever and check adjustment as follows:
1. When auger control lever is released and in disengaged “UP”
position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT
be tight.
2. In a well-ventilated area, start the engine. Refer to your
Engine Operator’s Manual.
3. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the
handles), depress the auger control lever to engage auger.
4. Allow auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10)
seconds before releasing auger control lever. Repeat this
several times.
5. With auger control lever in disengaged “UP” position, walk to
front of machine.
6. Confirm that auger has completely stopped rotating and
shows NO signs of motion. If auger shows ANY signs of
rotating, immediately shut OFF engine, remove safety key or
disconnect spark plug wire. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop
before readjusting auger control lever.
7. Loosen the two hex screws (a) on auger control cable bracket
(b) (Figure 54).

achieved.
