removing four self-tapping screws which secure it.

slip the belt between the support bracket and the
auger pulley. Reassemble auger belt by following

(5W30,
10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold
weather, these multi-
viscosity oils also result
in higher oil consump-
tion when used above
32ºF
(0ºC). Check your
snow thrower’s engine
oil level more frequently
to avoid possible
engine damage from
running low on oil.
NOTE: Do not sand-
blast spark plug. Spark
plug should be cleaned
by scraping or wire
brushing and washing
with a commercial
solvent.

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