If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts
have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and
hex lock nuts have been provided in the snow
thrower’s hardware pack. When replacing bolts,
spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new
bolts. For future use, order part number 710-0890A
(shear bolt 5/16-18 x 1.5") and 712-0429 (hex lock
nut 5/16-18).
