Auger and Traction Cable Adjustment
DANGER

Over-tightening the auger cable may cause the auger drive
to engage without depressing the auger drive control.
Follow the adjustment procedure to ensure the cable is not
over-tightened.

are sagging, adjustment is necessary.
1. Loosen finger nut (A, Figure 11).
2. Hold control cable (B) to keep it from rotating.
NOTE: The cable should not rotate while making adjustment.
3. Turn collar (C) to remove slack but do not over-tighten.

tion. See Safety System Tests. If necessary, make addi-
tional adjustments.

rized dealer.
Checking Tire Pressure
