Additional information

This snowblower auger cable adjustment bracket, part number 790-00224, mounts near the auger control cable to support it and provide a point where you can adjust cable tension. Proper cable routing and tension help ensure the auger engages and disengages smoothly when you operate the control.

If the adjustment bracket becomes bent, loose, or misaligned, the auger cable may rub against other components, bind, or fail to maintain correct tension. You might notice inconsistent auger engagement, extra resistance at the control lever, or difficulty keeping the auger engaged if the bracket does not hold the cable correctly.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Bracket and cable areas can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the cable sits securely in the bracket and moves freely before using the snowblower.
