Replacing Auger Paddles
The snow thrower auger’s rubber paddles are subject to wear
and should be replaced if any signs of excessive wear are present.
CAUTON: Do NOT allow the auger’s rubber
paddles to wear to the point where portions of the
metal auger itself can come in contact with the
pavement. Doing so can result in serious damage to
your snow thrower.
To change the rubber paddles, proceed as follows:
1
.
Remove the existing rubber paddles by unthreading the
self-tapping screws which secure them to the auger. See
Fig. 7-3.

Secure the replacement rubber paddles to the auger using
the hardware removed earlier.
Replacing Shave Plate
The shave plate is attached to the bottom of the auger housing
and is subject to wear. It should be checked periodically. There
are two wearing edges and the shave plate can be reversed.
