Troy-Bilt Two-Stage Snow Thrower User Manual

NOTE: Although 
multi-viscosity oils 
(5W30, 10W30 etc.) 
improve starting in cold 
weather, these multi-
viscosity oils also result 
in higher oil consump-
tion when used above 
32ºF (0ºC). Check your 
snow thrower’s engine 
oil level more frequently 
to avoid possible 
engine damage from 
running low on oil.

NEVER replace the 
auger shear pins with 
standard pins. Any 
damage to the auger 
gearbox or other com-
ponents, as a result of 
doing so, will NOT be 
covered by your snow 
thrower’s warranty.

NOTE: Do not sand-
blast spark plug. Spark 
plug should be cleaned 
by scraping or wire 
brushing and washing 
with a commercial 
solvent.

To remove and replace your snow thrower’s auger belt, 
proceed as follows:
1.  Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the 

engine by removing the two self-tapping screws. 

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

2.  Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so 

that it rests on the auger housing. Remove the frame 
cover from the underside of the snow thrower by 
removing four self-tapping screws which secure it.

3.  Roll the auger belt off the engine pulley.
4.  a. Loosen and remove the shoulder screw which 

acts as a belt keeper.

  b. Unhook the support bracket spring from the 

frame.

5.  Remove the belt from around the auger pulley, and 

slip the belt between the support bracket and the 
auger pulley. Reassemble auger belt by following 
instructions in reverse order.

NOTE: Do NOT forget to reinstall the shoulder screw 
and reconnect the spring to the frame after installing 
a replacement auger belt and to remove the piece of 
plastic from under the gas cap.
