Note: During operation the augers turn at a
slower speed than the impeller, this is normal.
The augers are used to chop and cut the
snow and direct it into the impeller which is
rotating at a high speed to throw the snow up
and out of the chute.
Over time, the auger cable tension may loosen
and or the auger belt may stretch. The auger
cable will require periodic adjustment to
compensate for these changes. Ideally, the cable
should just be barely tight when the auger handle
is in the released (disengaged) position.
Note: The proper operating tension for a
typical Vbelt drive is - the lowest tension at
which the belt will not slip under a loaded
condition.

adjustment plate. The adjustment plate is located
in-line with the cable below the control handle
