Auger Belt Replacement

To remove and replace your snow thrower’s auger belt,

 

proceed as follows:

 

1.

Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the

 

 

engine by removing the two self-tapping screws.

 

NOTE: Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower, or

 

place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.

 

2.

Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so

 

 

that it rests on the auger housing. Remove the frame

 

 

cover from the underside of the snow thrower by

 

 

removing four self-tapping screws which secure it.

 

3.

Roll the auger belt off the engine pulley.

 

4. a. Loosen and remove the shoulder screw which

2

 

acts as a belt keeper.

 

b. Unhook the support bracket spring from the

 

 

frame.

 

5. Remove the belt from around the auger pulley, and

 

 

slip the belt between the support bracket and the

 

 

auger pulley. Reassemble auger belt by following

 

 

instructions in reverse order.

 

NOTE: Do NOT forget to reinstall the shoulder screw

 

and reconnect the spring to the frame after installing a

 

replacement auger belt.

Maintaining

Your Snow

Thrower

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi- viscosity oils also result in higher oil consump- tion when used above 32ºF. Check your snow thrower’s engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

NOTE: Do not sand- blast spark plug. Spark plug should be cleaned by scraping or wire brushing and washing with a commercial solvent.

IMPORTANT NEVER replace the auger shear pins with standard pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other com- ponents, as a result of doing so, will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.
