Replacing Auger Paddles The snow thrower auger's rubber paddles are subject to wear and should be replaced if any signs of excessive wear are present. CAUTION: Do NOT allow the auger's rubber paddles to wear to the point where portions of the metal auger itself can come in contact with the pavement. Doing so can result in serious damage to your snow thrower. To change the rubber paddles, proceed as follows and refer to Fig. 7-4: Hex Washer Screw Auger Paddle Replacing Shave Plate 1. The shave plate is attached to the bottom of the auger housing and is subject to wear. It should be checked periodically. There are two wearing edges and the shave plate can be reversed. 2. Run the snow thrower until the fuel tank is empty. 3. Pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt. Then tip the snow thrower back until it rests on the handles. 4. Remove the four carriage bolts and flange lock nuts which attach it to the snow thrower housing. 5. Reverse the existing shave plate or install a new one, making sure the new shave plate and the heads of the carriage bolts are on the inside of the housing. 6. Adjust the shave plate as instructed on page 11. 7. Tighten securely once adjusted. Hex Washer Screw Figure 7-4 1. Run the snow thrower until the fuel tank is empty. 2. Pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt. Then tip the snow thrower back until it rests on the handles. 3. Remove the existing rubber paddles by unthreading the hex washer screws which secure them to the auger. See Fig. 7-4. NOTE: The auger paddles should be replaced one at a time so that the auger still attached can be used as an example for positioning and re-installing the new auger. 4. Secure the replacement rubber paddles to the auger using the hardware removed earlier. 16 Section 7- Service
