WARNING:
Always stop the engine,
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away
from the spark plug before performing any
adjustments or repairs. Always wear safety
glasses during operation or while performing
any adjustments or repairs.
Servicing Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear pins and cotter pins. See Figure 18 . If you hit a
foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed
so that the pins will shear.
1. If the augers do not turn, check to see if the pins
have sheared.
2. Replace the pins if needed. Two replacement shear
pins and cotter pins have been provided with the
snow thrower. Spray an oil lubricant into shaft
before inserting new pins and securing with new
cotter pins. See Figure 18.

IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear pins
with standard pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox
or other components, as a result of doing so, will NOT
be covered by your snow thrower's warranty.

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the
snow thrower are subject to wear. Check these
periodically and replace as necessary.
Replacing Skid Shoe
1. Remove four carriage bolts and lock nuts which
attach two skid shoes to the snow thrower on two
sides. See Figure 18 .
