WARNING

■Before proceeding, read and follow all safety rules.

1.Disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft.

2.Remove gearbox shield by removing thumb screws.

3.Remove damaged bolt from yoke on input shaft of snow blower gearbox.

4.Rotate driveline to align holes in yoke and shaft. Install new shear bolt and secure with lock nut. Tighten to torque specification given on Torque Chart.

5.Reinstall gearbox shield and reconnect driveline to tractor PTO shaft.

Chain Maintenance

The auger chain should be inspected every 25 hours. New chain has a tendency to stretch, so it is necessary to check the chain tension to prevent flopping around, thus causing potential problems. Chain tension is pre- set at the factory. If chain becomes excessively loose, it may be necessary to readjust the idler sprocket, Fig- ure 10.

Figure 9. Drive Chain Lubrication

1.Apply grease to drive sprocket grease zerk (See Figure 9).

2.Apply grease or oil to the drive chain regularly, especially after using (See Figure 9).

NOTICE

■Replacement chain should be only high quality original equipment chain for longer life.

1.Remove auger drive shield (1) by removing 3/8 whiz nuts (3).

2.Loosen cap screw and nut on idler sprocket.

3.Move idler sprocket (7) to obtain 1/4 inch sag along bottom span of chain.

4.Re-tighten idler sprocket and reinstall jackshaft shield.
