SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER

thrower are determined from behind the unit in the

as standing directly behind the snow thrower, facing the
handle panel.

carriage bolts previously removed and tighten the
upper two plastic wing knobs. See Figure 3.

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two
shear pins and 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 cotter pins
are provided for your convenience. Store in a safe
place until needed. See Figure 1.
