SECTION 7: SERVICING YOUR SNOW THROWER
WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or
inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop
engine. Wait until all moving parts have come
to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire
and ground it against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
Shave Plate
Carriage Bolts
Augers
The auger spirals are secured to the auger shaft with
shear pins and bowtie cotter pins. If you hit a foreign
object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that
the pins may shear. Refer to Figure 14.
If the augers do not turn, check if the pins have
sheared. Two replacement shear pins and bowtie cotter
pins have been provided with the snow thrower. When
replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into shaft before
inserting new pins.
