Replacing Auger Paddles
The snow thrower auger’s rubber paddles are subject to wear
and should be replaced if any signs of excessive wear are present.
CAUTION:
Do NOT allow the auger’s rubber
paddles to wear to the point where portions of the
metal auger itself can come in contact with the
pavement. Doing so can result in serious damage to
your snow thrower.
To change the rubber paddles, proceed as follows:
Remove the existing rubber paddles by unthreading the
1.
self-tapping screws which secure them to the auger. See
Fig. 8-3.
Secure the replacement rubber paddles to the auger using
2.
the hardware removed earlier.

and is subject to wear. It should be checked periodically. There
are two wearing edges and the shave plate can be reversed.
Refer to Fig. 8-3. To replace or reverse the shave plate proceed as
follows:
Remove the carriage bolts and hex lock nuts which attach
1.
it to the snow thrower housing.
Install new shave plate (or reverse), making sure the heads
2.
of the carriage bolts are on the inside of the housing.
