age to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug
is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.

SECTION 9: SERVICE
AUGERS
To remove skid shoes, remove the four carriage
bolts, bell washers and hex nuts which attach them to
the snow thrower. Reassemble new skid shoes with
the four carriage bolts, bell washers (cupped side
goes against skid shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain
the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 23. If you
hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the hex bolts will shear.
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 with the snow thrower.
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).
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts,
bell washers and hex nuts which attach it to the snow
thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, mak-
ing sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside
of the housing. Tighten securely.
