Secure the left turn trigger cable to the lower
handle using the other cable tie. Make sure to
route the cable tie below the auger drive cable
so that when the trigger cable is secured by the
cable tie, the auger drive cable is left outside the
cable tie. Trim excess ends from each cable tie.
NOTE: The right side cable tie must be used to keep
cable from coming in contact with the moving shift
arm from the transmission.
Lamp Wiring
• Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right
handle. See Figure 15. Plug wire into the
alternator lead wire under the fuel tank (see inset).

Final Adjustments
Adjusting Auger Control
To check the adjustment of the auger control,
push forward the left hand clutch grip until the
rubber bumper is compressed. There should be
slack in the clutch cable.
Release the clutch grip. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the
auger control grip against the left handle
completely.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the hex jam
nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out
(for more slack).
