Cables

NOTICE
The cables are preset by the factory. If you need to adjust
see ADJUSTING SELF-DRIVE CONTROL HANDLE CABLES or
ADJUSTING AUGER CONTROL CABLE for correct adjustments.

NOTICE
In the process of operation, if the auger or drive control handle
is too loose, screw the bolt of part A to get a natural tension
station for the wire.
Check the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. You
want to make sure that the tension on the lower side of the
snowblower has
1
⁄4-
3
⁄8 in. (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. If the
slack is greater than
5
⁄8 in. (16 mm), please adjust. Proper
tension is important because you will want your snowblower to
move forward properly in heavy snowfalls.
