Replace the Impeller Shear Bolts
DANGER
The snowthrower contains a rotating auger and impeller that
throws snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become caught in
the auger or impeller resulting in traumatic amputation or
severe laceration.
• STOP the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove the engine key before maintenance or repairs.
1. STOP the engine. Remove the engine key.
2. Remove the shear bolts (A, Figure 26) and locknuts
(C) from the impeller shaft (B).
3. Align the bolt holes. Install the new shear bolts through
the auger shaft. Tighten with the locknuts.

Check the Tire Pressure
WARNING
Explosion hazard
Over-inflation of tires can cause them to explode, which
could result in serious injury.
Do not inflate the tires above the maximum pressure.
16
Tire pressure should be checked regularly. Recommended
tire pressure changes by tire manufacturer. A good rule of
thumb is to inflate the tire up to, but not more than, the "Max
Inflation" stamped on the side-wall of the tire.

Storage

Storage - Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for
more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container with fuel,
®
add STA-BIL 360° PROTECTION™ to the fuel as specified
by the manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and
decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel
system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when STA-
®
BIL 360° PROTECTION™ is added as instructed. Before
storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel
and stabilizer through the fuel system.
