Before servicing, repairing, or

inspecting, disengage all clutch levers 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. 

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two 
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a foreign object 
or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the 
bolts may shear. See Figure 17.

If the augers do not turn, check if the bolts have 
sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex lock 
nuts have been provided with the snow thrower. Refer 
to 

 on page 5. 

 NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with 

standard hex bolts. 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. 

NOTE: The skid shoes on this machine have two wear
edges. When one side wears out, they can be rotated
180° to use the other edge.

•

Remove the six carriage bolts (three per side), bell 
washers and hex nuts which secure the skid shoes 
to the snow thrower on either side. See Figure 13.

•

Reassemble new skid shoes with the hardware 
removed earlier (cupped side of bell washer against 
the skid shoes). Make certain the skid shoes are 
adjusted to be level. Refer to Figure 13.

•

To remove the shave plate, remove the carriage 
bolts, bell washers and hex nuts which secure the 
shave plate to the snow thrower housing. See 
Figure 17. 

•

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

To remove and replace either the auger belt or the drive 
belt, follow the steps below and then proceed to the 
specific steps listed under respective sub-headings.

•

Disconnect the chute crank assembly at the 
discharge chute end by removing the hairpin clip 
and the flat washer. See Figure 18.

•

Remove the plastic belt cover, located near the 
engine, by removing the three self-tapping screws 
and flat washers that secure it. See Figure 18.
