AUGER FLITE SHOE REPLACEMENT

Inspect the flite shoes frequently for signs of excessive wear. Visually check flite shoes for cracking, fraying, and severed or exposed belts.

1.Turn the engine OFF, remove the key, disconnect the spark plug wire, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2.Tilt the unit backward to access the auger. Secure the unit in the tilted position.

3.Remove all the self-tapping screws (C, Figure 11) securing the flite shoes to the auger. Retain the screws, discard the old flite shoes (B).

4.Secure the new flite shoes to the auger using the original self-tapping screws. Be careful not to strip the screws. Be sure the angled ends of the flite shoe are aligned with the angled ends of the auger.
