How do I Disengage the Auger on a Craftsman 9.0 Horsepower Snow Blower?
Your Craftsman 9.0 horsepower snow blower contains an auger that breaks up the snow before it is sucked up the chute by the impeller and thrown out of the way. There are certain circumstances when you do not want the auger rotating to prevent unwanted objects from getting ground up in them. This is especially true when transporting the snow blower over other terrain like gravel and other landscaping. When faced with these circumstances, you will want to disengage it. Does this Spark an idea?
