Replacing S hearPins
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear
pins and cotter
pins. If the auger should
strike a foreign
object or ice ja m, the snow thrower
is designed
so that the
pins may shear. If the augers will not turn, check to see if the
pins have sheared. See Fig. 5-1.
_
AUTION:
NEVER replace the auger shear pins
with anything
other than OEM Part No. 738-
04124A replacement
shear pins. Any damage
to
the auger gearbox
or other components
as a
result of failing to do so will NOT be covered
by
your snow thrower's
warranty.
_
ARNING!
Always turn off the snow thrower's
engine
and remove
the key prior to replacing
shear pins.
