SECTION 7: SERVICING YOUR SNOW THROWER

WARNING: 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.

Augers

Replacing Belts

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

•Remove the plastic belt cover, located near the engine, by removing the three self-tapping screws and flat washers that secure it. See Figure 19.

•Remove the large shoulder bolt and washer on the left hand side of the engine pulley. See Figure 20.

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear pins and cotter pins. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. Refer to Figure 16.

If the augers do not turn, check if the pins have sheared. Two 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.

IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear pins 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. These should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.
