Remove both skid shoes and hardware including carriage bolts and nuts which attach shave plate to snow
thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of

AUGER OR IMPELLER JAMS
WARNING!
The auger and impeller rotate at fast speeds
which can cause harm or even amputation to a person's body
parts. Even if you do not see the auger or impeller rotating, it
may start at any time if the engine is running. The chute
clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger housing with
a mounting clips.
1.
Always turn OFF the engine before attempting to clear
any clogs or jams.
2.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts while the engine is running.
3.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing that can become entangled in rotating parts.
4.
Wait until the auger and impeller have come to a full stop.
5.
Clear any visible jams using the clean out tool attached to your machine.
WARNING!
DO NOT try to clear jams with your hands or feet.
AUGER SHEAR PINS REPLACEMENT
Shear pins are used to attach the auger shaft to the auger
blades. A clog or jam in the augers may cause one or
multiple shear pins to break. The shear pins are a safety
mechanism and designed to break under high load or impact
to protect the auger drive system from damage.
Replacement shear pins and nylon locknuts are provided
with your snow thrower.
For additional replacement shear pins, please call the
customer service department at (800)791 9458.
1.
Turn off the engine and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop. Remove any remnants
of the broken shear pin. It may be necessary to unscrew the nut from the broken shear pin and drive
out the broken pin.
2.
Insert a new shear pin through the hole in the auger shaft and tighten using the shear pin nylon
locknut. Do not over-tighten the nylon locknut.
NOTICE:
Never replace the shear pins with standard pins or fasteners. Damage may occur to the snow
blower and drive systems.
