SCRAPER BLADE
IMPORTANT: Damage to auger/impeller housing will result if blade wears down too far.
Scraper blade is adjustable to compensate for wear.
To adjust scraper blade:
1.Tip unit back onto handlebar, support housing and loosen nuts retaining blade.
2.Adjust runners to fully raised position (housing closest to ground).
3.Reposition scraper blade flush with runners and tighten lock nuts.
SHEAR BOLTS
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens shear bolts for replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolt may result in severe damage to unit.
Occasionally a foreign object may enter the auger/impeller housing and jam the auger, breaking shear bolts (Figure 16) which secure the auger to the shaft. This allows auger to turn freely on the shaft preventing damage to gear drive.
For Replacement:
1.Slide auger outward against roll pin and align hole in shaft with hole in auger (holes in shaft for roll pins and shear bolts line up).
2.Drive shear bolt through hole (if shear bolt was broken this will drive remaining part from shaft).
3.Secure shear bolt with nut.
