How To Replace the Auger Shear Bolt

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with

special shear bolts. These shear bolts are de-

signed to break and protect the machine if an

object becomes lodged in the auger housing.

Do not use a harder bolt as the protection pro-

vided by the shear bolt will be lost.

WARNING: For safety and to pro-

tect the machine, use only original

equipment shear bolts.

To replace a broken shear bolt, proceed as fol-

lows. Extra shear bolts were provided in the as-

sembly parts bag.

1.

Move the

stop switch (13)

to the

stop position. Disengage all controls.

How To Prepare The Snow Thrower For

Storage

WARNING: Do not remove gasoline

while inside a building, near a fire,

or while you smoke. Gasoline

fumes can cause an explosion or a fire.

If the snow thrower is to be stored for an ex-

tended period, refer to the engine manufactur-

er’s operating manual (included with some

models) for important maintenance or storage

details.

1. Drain the fuel tank.

2. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.

3.

Never store the snow thrower with fuel in the

tank inside a building where ignition sources

are present such as hot water and space

heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow

the engine (motor) to cool before storing in

any enclosure.

4. Drain the oil from the warm engine. Fill the

engine crankcase with new oil.

5. Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml

(1/2 oz) of engine oil into the cylinder. Re-

place the spark plug and crank slowly to dis-

tribute the oil.

6. Thoroughly clean the snow thrower.

7. Lubricate all lubrication points. See the Main-

tenance section.

8. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are

securely fastened. Inspect all visible moving

parts for damage, breakage and wear. Re-

place if necessary.

9. Cover the bare metal parts of the blower

housing, auger, and the impeller with spray

rust preventative lubricant.

10. Put the unit in a building that has good ven-

tilation. Store in a clean and dry area, but

NOT near a stove, furnace or water heater

which uses a pilot light or any device that can

create a spark.

11. If the machine must be stored outdoors,

block up the snow thrower to be sure the en-

tire machine is off the ground.

12. Cover the snow thrower with a suitable pro-

tective cover that does not retain moisture.

Do not use plastic.
