Specification and price

You are looking at $34.83 CAD delivered into the Canadian market. There is no price advantage in waiting and there is a real availability cost.

The replacement procedure

Take the battery out first on a cordless unit, and pull the plug cap on an engine. A magnetic tray and a bit of discipline turns this into a twenty minute job.

Set it with the machine on level ground and the controls at rest. Hold the new component against the old one before fitting. Two minutes there beats stripping it twice.

Never clear a blocked chute by hand. The impeller stores energy with the engine off and releases it when the obstruction moves. The same rule applies whenever the auger housing is open.

Diagnosing it

The warning signs are not subtle once you know what to look for.

• a sheath that has kinked or been crushed
• stiffness that appears only in deep cold
• an adjuster barrel already wound to its limit
• a lever that must be squeezed fully before anything engages
• the auger or drive still turning after the lever is released

Five seasons and up is normal on a machine kept dry. Stock moves quickly once the snow starts, which is the only real argument for ordering early.

What it fits

Route the new cable the way the old one ran. A tight radius doubles the effort at the lever and halves the life. There is an adjuster barrel at the handle end on most machines. Take up slack until a small amount of free play remains.
