MAINTENANCE
BELT GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove spark plug wire.
2. Have someone engage the auger drive. This will engage auger idler
pulley (A A , Figure 38).
3. Measure the distance between the belt guide (B B ) and belt (C C ). The
distance should be about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
4. If adjustment is necessary, loosen belt guide mounting bolt. Move
belt guide to the correct position. Tighten mounting bolt.
5. Install belt cover.
6. Connect spark plug wire.
CHECK AND ADJUST THE CABLES
The cables are adjusted at the factory and no adjustment should be neces-
sary. If the cables have become stretched or are sagging adjustment will be
necessary.
Whenever belts are adjusted or replaced, the cables will need to be ad-
justed.
Auger Control Cable Adjustment
WARNING: Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the
lever and cause the auger drive to be engaged with-
out depressing the auger control lever.
1. With the auger control lever released, the hook (A A , Figure 39) should
barely touch the lever (B B ) without raising it. There can be a maximum
of 1/32" (0.8 mm) clearance.
2. To adjust, loosen the nut (C C ) by holding the adjusting flats (D D ) and
turning the nut. Then, turn the adjusting flats and hold the adjust-
ment screw (E E ). The adjustment screw is a phillips screw and the
head can be held or turned by inserting a screwdriver through the
spring (F F ).
3. Hold the adjusting flats and tighten the nut.
4. Start the engine and check the auger. The auger must not be engaged
unless the auger control lever is depressed.
5. With the engine running, fully depress the auger control lever. The
auger should engage and run normally.
6. Release the auger control lever. T T he auger must stop within 5 sec-
onds.
7. If the auger does not operate properly, stop the engine and recheck
the auger control cable adjustment.
8. If the drive linkage is properly adjusted, the tension of the auger drive
belt may require an adjustment (see "Belt Adjustment" section).
