TO REPLACE AUGER SHEAR BOLT

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with special bolts (see figure below) that are designed to break (to protect the machine) if an object becomes lodged in the auger housing. Use of a harder bolt will destroy the protection provided by the shear bolt. Your

replacement shear bolts are found in your tool box located on belt cover.

•Should friction wheel require adjustment (see To Adjust the Friction Wheel on page 20).

NOTE: Ensure friction wheel and friction

disc are free from grease or oil."

IMPORTANT: To ensure safety and perfor- mance levels, only originalequipment shear bolts should be used. When replacing shear bolts, be sure to replace shear bolt spacers.

To replace a broken shear bolt, proceed as follows:

•Move the throttle to O (STOP) and turn off all controls.

Disconnect the spark plug wire. Be sure all moving parts have stopped.

Lubricate the auger shaft by squirting Lubriplate or a fiber impregnated grease into the shear bolt hole in the auger shaft. Then rotate the auger to distribute the oil in the shaft.

•Align the hole in the auger tube with the hole in the auger shaft, install the new shear pin and spacer found in toolbox lo- cated on top of belt cover.

NOTE: Spacer fits inside the larger hole in the auger tube.

•Reconnect the spark plug wire.

TO ADJUST TRACK

it the snow thrower does not move forward

evenly and the track slips slightly, you need to check the track as follows:

•Pull up gently on the center of the track near the center.

•Measure the distance between the track

and the top of the track support frame

(see first figure on page 22). The

distance should not be more than one and one-quarter (1-1/4) inches.
