SHEAR BOLTS
WARNING: Stop engine, remove key, wait for
moving parts to stop and remove wire from
spark plug before leaving operator's position
and attempting to maintain or inspect auger.
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens shear bolts for replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolt may result in severe
damage to unit.
Occasionally an object may enter auger/impeller housing and jam auger, breaking shear bolts which secures auger
to shaft. This allows auger to turn freely on shaft preventing damage to gear drive.
To replace shear bolt:
1. Slide auger outward against roll pin and align hole in shaft with hole in auger. The holes in shaft for roll pins
and shear bolts will line up.
42.Drive the new shear bolt through hole (if shear bolt was broken this will drive remaining part from shaft).
43.Secure with nut.
DISCHARGE CHUTE
WARNING: DO NOT put hands or feet near
or under rotating parts. Keep clear of
discharge opening at all times.
WARNING: NEVER direct discharge of
material toward bystanders nor allow anyone
in front of equipment while unit is in operation.
Be familiar with area of operation.
To remove discharge chute unbolt the chute positioning assembly from the discharge chute. Disconnect chute
cable, deflector cable and hex shaft. Tip discharge chute forward and lift.
NOTE: Chute must rotate freely. If chute does not stay in position while throwing snow or if chute does not rotate
freely, adjust the cable under the control panel so the chute lock fingers engage or disengage the locking gear.
