Auger and Scraper Bar Maintenance

Before each use, check wear limit on rubber auger and gap

between scraper bar support and ground (A, Figure 9).

• If wear limit on the rubber auger is reached, the two auger

ights need replacing. See authorized dealer.

• If scraper bar support makes contact with the ground, the

scraper bar needs replacing. See authorized dealer.

Control Cable Adjustment

WARNING

The auger must stop within 5 seconds after the auger control is

released. If it does not, adjust the control cable. See Adjust-

ment below or contact an authorized service dealer to adjust

the control cable.

Inspection

The auger should rotate only when the auger control is engaged

and must stop within 5 seconds when the auger control is

released. If the auger does not rotate or does not stop as

described, adjust the control cable or contact an authorized

service dealer to adjust the control cable.

If the drive belt has broken, contact an authorized service dealer

to replace the belt and adjust the control cable.

Adjustment

1. Stop the engine and remove the key. See Stop the Engine.

2. Lift the cable cover (A, Figure 8) to expose the adjustment

loops (B) and the cable end fitting (C).

3. Remove the end fitting from the adjustment loop and reinstall

as follows:

• If the auger rotates while the auger control is not

engaged, lengthen the control cable by installing

the end fitting in the next lowest loop (decrease belt

tension).

• If the auger does not rotate when the auger control is

engaged, shorten the control cable by installing the end

fitting in the next highest loop (increase belt tension).

NOTE: Some slack must remain in the cable when the auger

control is not engaged.

4. Lower the cable cover into place.

5. Repeat the inspection procedure above. If the auger does not

rotate or does not stop as described, contact an authorized

service dealer to have the snowthrower inspected.
