TO ADJUST CHUTE ROTATOR CABLE TENSION
(See Fig. 25)

AUGER PERFORMANCE AND CABLE ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. 25)
NOTE: If you do not feel comfortable making this adjustment
yourself, please contact an authorized service center/
department.
Adjustments may be needed if the impeller and auger
rotation is sluggish when engaging the auger control lever,
or if the auger belt has been replaced.
To adjust the auger control cable:
1. Adjust cable tension by loosening the jam nut, next to
the turn buckle.
2. Grasp the short section and hold, while turning the
long section to lengthen the adjuster. Rotate the center
barrel one full revolution.
3. Retest auger engagement. Repeat adjustment as
needed until engagement is no longer sluggish.
4. Have an assistant stand 10 feet in front of the machine,
and on the opposite side that the chute is pointing. The
assistant should observe the rotation of the auger and
measure the time it takes for the auger to stop rotating
after you release the lever.
If the auger stops rotating after 5 seconds, readjust the cable
by rotating the center barrel one full revolution, so that the
adjuster is contracting. Retest the auger engagement and
measure the stop time again.
If the auger stops rotating in less than 5 seconds, proceed
to the next step.
5. Tighten the jam nut on the auger cable.
NOTE: If the adjustment does not resolve the problem,
replace the auger belt. See “To Replace Belts” in the Service
& Adjustments section of this manual.
