ADJUST AUGER CONTROL CABLE
The auger control cable is adjusted at the
factory. During normal use, the auger
control cable can become stretched and
the auger drive lever will not properly en-
gage or disengage the auger.
1. Remove the "Z" hook from the au-
ger drive lever (Figure 20).
2. Slide the cable boot, if equipped,
up the auger control cable until the
cable boot does not cover any por-
tion of the cable adjustment brack-
et (Figure 21).
3. Pull the auger control cable
through the eyehole in the cable
adjustment bracket as shown by
the arrow in Figure 21. This will
create enough slack to allow the
"Z" hook to be easily removed.
4. Install the "Z" hook into the next
available adjustment hole in the
cable adjustment bracket. This is
the adjustment hole located one
notch down from where the "Z"
hook was previously attached.
5. Pull the auger control cable back
through the eyehole of the cable
adjustment bracket until all the
slack is taken out of the auger con-
trol cable.
6. Slide the cable boot back down
over the cable adjustment brack-
et.
