SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER
Loose Parts
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a foreign object
or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the

bolts may shear. Two replacement shear bolts and nuts
are provided for your convenience. Store in a safe place
until needed. See Figure 1.

WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire
and ground it against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
•
Slide the connector down over the end of the lower
shift rod. See Figure 3. Tap the connector until it
locks on the lower shift rod.
NOTE: All references to right or left side of the snow
thrower are determined from behind the unit in the
operating position. The “operator’s position” is defined
as standing directly behind the snow thrower, facing the
handle panel.
If the connector is not properly assembled, the shift rod
will pivot and you will not be able to change speeds or
change directions.
•
Thread the jam nuts all the way up each of the “Z”
fittings, toward the handle panel. See Figure 4.

Raise the upper handle assembly until it locks over
the lower handle. See Figure 3.

•
Make certain all cables are in the grooves of the
cable roller guides located in the lower rear of the
unit, one on each side.
Thread the coupling end of the cable onto the
threaded portion of the “Z” fitting until the rubber
bumper (located on the underside of the control
lever) only lightly contacts the upper handle.
Observe the lower rear area of the snow thrower to
be sure both cables are aligned with roller guides.
Secure the upper handle and lower handle with the
two plastic wing knobs, cupped washers and
carriage bolt (eyebolt on the left side) previously
removed. See Figure 3.
