Augers

•The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. Refer to Figure 6-9.

•If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared. One set of replacement shear pins has been provided with the snow thrower. When replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins.

To remove and replace your snow thrower’s auger belt, proceed as follows:
