Unpacking
1. Remove screws/staples from top sides and ends of
the shipping crate. Set panel aside to avoid tire
punctures or personal injury.

Operator's Manual, Engine Manual, etc.).
4. Roll unit out of crate.

Loose Parts
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If the snow thrower hits a
foreign object or ice jam, the bolts may shear. Two
replacement shear bolts and nuts are provided for your
convenience. Store these in a safe place until needed.
See Figure 1.
Figure 1
IMPORTANT: Never replace auger shear bolts with
standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox
or other components from using standard hex bolts will
not be covered under your snow thrower's warranty.
