4.1 AUGER BELT ADJUSTMENT/REPLACEMENT

When operating machine release the auger clutch

control. The auger should come to a complete stop in

5 seconds. If auger does not come to a complete stop

in the required time, check and adjust belt tension.

Inspect belt frequently for signs of excessive wear.

Observe drive belt for slippage due to wear when

operating machine. If slippage does occur adjust as

follows.

4.1.1. AUGER BELT CABLE ADJUSTMENT

1. Measure control cable extension from a relaxed

position to full extended position. Move control lever

against handle. Measure the overall length of the

spring. The length of the cable spring should

increase by 1/2” to 3/4” when the clutch control is

depressed. See Figure 4.1.
