To Engage Augers
1. To engage the augers and start throwing snow, squeeze the auger
control against the left handle. Release to stop the augers.
Auger Control Test
Perform the following test before operating your snow thrower for the
first time and at the start of each winter.
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
1. When the auger control is released and in the disengaged "up"
position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be
tight.
2. In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as
instructed earlier in this section. Make sure the throttle is set in the FAST position.
3. While standing in the operator's position (behind the snow thrower),
engage the auger.
4. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10)
seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several
times.
5. With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position and the auger
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. If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, im-
mediately return to the operator's position and shut off the engine.
Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before re-adjusting the auger
control.
7. To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex nut on the
auger cable bracket.
8. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to
increase cable tension). See Figure 2.
9. Retighten the upper hex nut.
10. Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper adjustment has been
achieved.
