remove the skid shoes, proceed as follows:
•
Remove the six carriage bolts, bell washers, and
hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower.

•
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a hard
foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the bolts may shear.
Belt Removal And Replacement
Refer to Figure 12.
Auger Belts
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts
have sheared. Replacement shear bolts and hex
lock nuts have been provided with the snow
thrower. When replacing bolts, spray an oil
lubricant into shaft before inserting new bolts.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change the
auger belt without the help of an assistant.
It is very important that one person,
standing at the operating position, firmly
hold the snow thrower housing to prevent
it from tipping while the other person
replaces the belt. Failure to comply with
this may result in injury.
IMPORTANT:NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with
standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox
or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be
covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.

Remove the plastic belt cover by removing the two
self-tapping screws. See Figure 13.
