routed and not pinched or kinked. Make certain the
springs at the lower end of the auger and drive
cables are securely hooked into their respective
actuator bracket.

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with four
shear pins (six for 45"augers)and bow-tie cotter
pins. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow
thrower is designed so that the pins may shear.
Two replacement shear pins and bow-tie cotter pins
are provided for your convenience. See Figure 1.
Store these safely until needed.
