Auger Control Test
Perform the following test before operating your snow
thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter.
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
1.
When the auger control is released and in the
disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very
little slack. It should NOT be tight.
2.
3.

Figure 4-2
Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows NO signs of motion. 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 re-adjusting the
auger control.
When selecting a
Drive Speed, use the
slower speeds until
you are comfortable
and familiar with the
operation of the snow
thrower.
7.
To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex
nut on the auger cable bracket. See Figure 4-2.
8.
Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
9.
10.
Retighten the upper hex nut.
Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper adjustment
has been achieved.
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes.
Check the tire pressure before operating the snow
thrower. Refer to the tire side wall for tire manufacturer’s
recommended psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires as
necessary.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the
unit may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate
may wear unevenly.
NEVER reposition the
shift lever (change
speeds or direction
of travel) without first
releasing the drive
control and bringing
the snow thrower
to a complete stop.
Doing so will result in
premature wear to the
snow thrower’s drive
system.
