Augers

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 20. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts will shear.

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.

•To remove skid shoes, remove the four carriage bolts, cupped washers and hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower. Reassemble new skid shoes with the four carriage bolts, cupped washers (cupped side goes against skid shoes) and hex nuts.

•To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, cupped washers and hex nuts which attach it to the snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely.
