AUGER SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with special bolts that
are designed to break if an object becomes lodged in the auger
housing. Use of a harder bolt will reduce the protection provided
by the shear bolt.
WARNING: To ensure safety and performance
levels, only original replacement shear bolts
should be used.
1. Stop the engine, disengage all controls, disconnect the spark
plug lead wire, and make sure all moving parts have stopped.
2. Align the hole in the auger with the hole in the auger shaft. In-
stall new shear bolt (A, Figure 15), spacer (B) and locknut (C)
found in the parts bag or toolbox located on the belt cover.
NOTE: The spacer fits into the larger hole in the auger tube.

CHECK THE TIRES

Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires with an
accurate gauge (see Figure 16).
CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Explosive separation of
tire and rim parts is possible when they are ser-
viced incorrectly.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the maximum
pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly.
Heat can cause an increase in air pressure
resulting in an explosion. Welding can
structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly
when inflating. Use appropriate tool that allows
you to stand to one side.
NOTICE: Check side of tire for maximum tire pressure. DO
NOT exceed maximum.
