Newtonian, Did you try adjusting the auger cable first? The owners manual states to tighten the auger cable until it is taught, then loosen the adjustment barrel two turns and tighten the jam nut. This must be done first. If the belt tension is still loose (make sure the back side of the belt is pulled -perfectly- straight, away from the backside belt fingers), then switch the idler to the second position and readjust the cable with the same procedure. It's important that it's done in that order. PK
