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 pave-
ment. Doing so can result in serious damage to your snow thrower.
To change the rubber paddles, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the existing rubber paddles by unscrewing the self-
tapping screws which secure them to the auger. See Figure 18.
2. Secure the replacement rubber paddles to the auger using the
hardware removed earlier.
To obtain a full auger replacement kit including spiral crescents,
paddles and self-tapping screws, call Sears at 1-800-4-MY HOME.
