AUGER CONTROL CABLE
As a result of both the control cable and the auger drive belt
stretching due to wear, periodic adjustments may be necessary.
If the auger seems to hesitate while driving or throwing snow,
proceed as follows:
The upper hole in the auger control lever provides for an
adjustment in cable tension. To adjust, disconnect the end of
control cable from the bottom hole in the auger control lever and
reinsert it in the upper hole. Insert the cable from the outside
(Figure 27).
Figure 27
Test the snow blower to see if there is a noticeable difference.
If after the adjustment to the control cable the auger still
hesitates, replace the belt.
NOTE: When the auger control lever is released, the auger
should stop rotating. If the auger continues rotating after the
adjustment, contact an authorized service center.

REPLACING THE AUGER DRIVE BELT
1. Run the snow blower until the fuel tank is empty and remove
safety key or disconnect spark plug wire.
2. Pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt. Then tip
the snow blower back until it rests on the handles.
3. Slide a board up through the auger and through the chute to
secure the auger in place.
4. Remove the belt cover by removing the two hex washer
screws (a) and one hex lock screw (b) that secure it to the
frame (Figure 28).

5. Remove the flange nut (c) that secures the auger pulley (d) to
the auger shaft (e) (Figure 29).
6. Remove the auger pulley and the belt.
7. Route the new auger belt around the drive pulley (f) and under the
idler pulley (g) (Figure 30).
NOTE: Installing the new belt may be easier if the auger
control lever is squeezed against the upper handle.
8. Route the end of the belt around the auger pulley (d)
and slide the pulley back on to the auger shaft. It may be
necessary to push down on the idler pulley to get the auger
pulley under the belt keeper (h).
9. Replace the flange nut (c) and tighten securely.
10. Squeeze the auger control lever against the upper handle and
reinstall the belt cover removed in Step 4.
11. Remove the board from the auger and chute.
12. Tip the snow blower forward to the upright position and pull
the recoil starter handle a few times to see if it is difficult
to pull.
