Before servicing, repairing, or 

inspecting, disengage all controls and stop 
engine. Wait until all moving parts have come 
to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug 
wire and ground it against the engine to 
prevent unintended starting. Always wear 
safety glasses during operation or while 
performing any adjustments or repairs.

•

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with six 
shear pins and cotter pins. If you hit a hard foreign 
object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so 
that the pins may shear. Refer to Figure 15.

•

If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins 
have sheared. Replacement shear pins and cotter 
pins have been provided with the snow thrower. 
When replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into 
shaft before inserting new pins.

NEVER replace the auger shear pins with 

standard pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or 
other components as a result of doing so will NOT be 
covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.

•

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of 
the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should 
be checked periodically and replaced when 
necessary.

•

Remove the carriage bolts and flange lock nuts 
which attach the two skid shoes to the snow thrower 
on two sides. See Figure 12.

•

Reassemble new skid shoes with the hardware 
removed earlier. Make certain the skid shoes are 
adjusted to be level.

•

To remove the shave plate, remove the carriage 
bolts and flange lock nuts which attach the shave 
plate to the snow thrower housing. See Figure 15.

•

Reassemble the new shave plate, with heads of 
carriage bolts to the inside of the housing. Tighten 
securely.

NOTE: It is necessary to remove both belts in order to
change either one. If changing just one belt, be certain
to check the condition of the other belt.

•

Disconnect the chute directional control at the 
assembly base by removing the hairpin clip and the 
flat washer. See Figure 16A.

•

Remove the plastic belt cover at the front of the 
engine by removing the two self-tapping screws. 
See Figure 16B.

•

Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower, or place 
a piece of plastic film under the gas cap.
