Preparing and Adjusting Your Snow Thrower
• Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately 10 seconds before releasing the auger
control. Repeat this several times.
• With the engine running in the ON position and the auger control in the disengaged “up” position,
walk to the front of the machine.
• Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows NO signs of motion.
NOTE: 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 adjusting the auger control cable as
follows:
• Loosen the hex jam nut on the auger control cable.
• Rotate the coupling end of the cable clockwise to provide more slack.
• Retighten the hex jam nut.
• Start engine and verify auger control engages and disengages properly.
NOTE: If auger continues to rotate with the control disengaged, shut off engine and readjust.
• If during operation, augers seem to hesitate turning while the engine maintains speed, then the
cable is too loose and the coupling end of the cable needs to be rotated counter-clockwise,
decreasing the amount of slack to the auger cable. Follow the above steps to adjust the coupling
end of cable.
Do not over-tighten the cable. Over-tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging and
compromise the safety of the snow thrower.
