IMPORTANT: The snow thrower is shipped with oil and 
WITHOUT GASOLINE. After assembly, refer to separate 
engine manual for proper fuel and engine oil recom-
mendations.

•  The augers are secured to the auger shaft with shear

pins and bow tie cotter pins. If you hit a foreign object 
or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the 
pins may shear. Replacement shear pins and cotter 
pins are provided for your convenience. Store these 
safely until needed.
