Auger Control Test
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:
1. When auger control is released and in the disengaged "up" posi-
tion, cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight.
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 on page 10 under the heading Starting Engine. Make
sure the throttle is set in the FAST
3.
While standing in operator's position (behind unit) engage auger.
4.
Allow auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10)
seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several
times.
5.
With the engine running in the FAST
control in the disengaged "up" position, walk to the front of the
machine.
6.
Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and
shows NO signs of motion
7.
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.
