Troy-Bilt Two-Stage Snow Thrower User Manual

•  The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two 

shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike 
a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is 
designed so that the pins may shear. 

•  If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins 

have sheared. One set of replacement shear pins 
has been provided with the snow thrower. When 
replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into shaft before 
inserting new pins.
