Adjusting the Drive Control Handle Cable
Make sure that the tension on the self-drive cable is adjusted, so it has between 1/4-3/8" (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. This movement can be acquired b measuring the distance the engagement paddle moves from its starting position and the point it becomes taut and starts to move the transmission adjustment lever. If the slack is greater that 5/8" (16 mm), please adjust. Proper tension is important because you will want your snow blower to move forward properly in heavy snowfalls.

While operating the snow blower, if the drive control lever is too loose, tighten the nut counter-clockwise while at the same time rotating the bolt upward to reach the position of the nut.
Adjusting the Auger Control Cable
Make sure that the tension on the auger control cable is adjusted so it has between 1/4-3/8" (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. This movement can be acquired by measuring the distance the engagement paddle moves from its starting position and the point it becomes taut and starts to engage the auger. If the slack is greater than 5/8" (16 mm), please adjust. Proper tension is important because you will want your snow blower to maximize belt life in heavy snowfalls.
