 Carefully remove blade 
guard and make sure 
blade bolts are tight.

 Remove Metric Allen 
wrench attached to the 
neck of the auger and 
unscrew the collar bolt 
from auger.

( Use two 10mm closed 
end wrenchs)

 The large and small 
holes from each 
component must line 
up before installing 
the collar bolt.

 Push down and twist 
to line up holes.

 It is recommended to grease 
inside metal collar and 
transmission output shaft on the 
powerhead. Standard automotive 
wheel bearing grease is suggested. 
Insert drive shaft into auger and

 Collar bolt inserts into the large 
hole, passing through the drive 
shaft and threads into small hole 
of metal collar. Tighten bolt. Some 
wiggle is normal between the power 
head and auger. Tighten often.

 After assembly is complete, you 
can conveniently store your allen 
wrench on the underside of the 
throttle pedal.

It is recommended that the col-
lar bolt and blade be checked and 
torqued fi rmly before and after 
every use.
