CLEARING RESTRICTIONS- AUGER OR IMPELLER JAMS
WARNING! The auger and impeller rotate at fast speeds which can cause harm or
even amputation. Even if you do not see the auger or impeller rotating, it may start
at any time if the engine is running.
WARNING! DO NOT try to clear jams with your hands or feet.
If the snow discharge chute or auger housing becomes clogged STOP the engine,
and make sure that all rotating parts have come to a complete stop. Use the
supplied snow clearing stick (A) Fig.16 to clear the obstruction. After unclogging,
wipe the tool clean, and place it in the holder on top of the auger housing.
TIRE INFLATION
Before each use, check tire pressure. The pressure in each tire should be in the
range of 20-24 PSI for best performance. The pressure can be checked using an
ordinary tire pressure gauge. Fill the tires using a small pressure regulated air
compressor.
AUGER SHEAR PINS REPLACEMENT
Shear pins are used to attach the auger shaft to the auger blades. A clog or jam in
the augers may cause one or multiple shear pins to break. The shear pins are a
safety mechanism and are designed to break under high load or impact and protect
the auger drive system from damage.
Replacement shear pins and nylon hex. nuts are provided with your snow blower.
For additional replacement shear pins, refer to the parts section in this manual for
ordering information.
1) Turn off the engine and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.
Remove any remnants of the broken shear pin (A) Fig.17. It may be necessary
to unscrew the nylon hex. nut (B) from the broken shear pin and drive out the
broken pin.
2) Insert a new shear pin through the hole in the auger shaft and tighten using the
shear pin nylon hex. nut. Do not over-tighten the nylon hex. nut.
NOTE: Never replace the shear pins with standard pins or fasteners. Damage may
occur to the snow blower and drive systems.
AUGER BELT REMOVAL
WARNING! Entanglement Hazard – Before performing any service procedures,
make sure the engine is off and remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug to
ensure the engine cannot accidently start.
Note: Record component position before disassembly, to assist in reassembly.
1) Disconnect the upper cable (A) Fig.18 from the auger control handle bracket (B).
2) Remove the 2 hex. bolts (A) Fig.19 (one hex. bolt on each side) and remove belt
cover (B).
