Auger Brake Adjustment
Fig 045 MVC-892XA
1. As the auger cable is adjusted to maintain proper
belt tension, the idler will move towards the brake
arm. The gap between the idler arm and brake arm
may be reduced. Periodically, verify the gap as
follows to make sure the brake engages properly.
2. Remove the belt cover and check the gap between
the welded washer/nut assembly and the brake arm
tab.
The gap should be .100” (2.5mm)

The traction bail is on the left handle and when
squeezed engages the wheel drive system (Fig. 047).
Fig 046 MVC-876X
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the bolt through the
welded washer/nut and rotate the washer/nut to achieve
the gap. Secure the bolt (Fig. 046).
To determine if the pulley should be moved, proceed
as follows: remove the right side belt cover. With the
engine off, engage the auger lever. If there is more than
1” 2.5cm) gap between the idler arm and the stop, move
the pulley to the inner hole (Fig. 045). If the gap is less
than 1” (2.5cm) keep the pulley in the outer hole.
Note: If you move the idler pulley, it will be
necessary to readjust both the auger brake
and the auger cable.
