Replacing Shear Pins
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 jam, 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.
CAUTION:
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.
WARNING!
Always turn off the snow thrower's
engine and remove the key prior to replacing
shear pins.
