3. Attach the new rubber plate onto the metal frame
by replacing and tightening the middle two sets of
nuts and bolts (Fig. 29).
4. Reassemble the rubber plate assembly to the
paddle assembly by replacing and tightening the
two sets of nuts and bolts used to secure it (Figs.
20 & 21).
WARNING: Make sure to turn off the
switch and disconnect the extension
cord before performing any maintenance
task on your snowblower.
Replacing the Scraper Bar
1. The scraper bar is
located at the base
of the snowblower
beneath the rotor
housing (Fig.30).
2. Detach the worn
scraper bar from
the snowblower by
removing the two
screws that hold it in
place (Fig. 31).
3. Install the new
scraper bar and
fasten it securely
to the snowblower
with the two screws
(Fig. 32).
Replacing the Belt and Pulley
NOTE: Determine the left and right hand
side of the snowblower by standing
behind the unit in the normal operating
position

1. Remove the screws
from the left panel of
the snowblower and
remove the left panel
(Fig. 33).
2. Lift the belt tension
pulley and roll the
worn belt up and off
the big pulley from the
top of the big pulley
(Fig. 34).
3. To replace the big pulley, remove the screw
and washer from the middle of the pulley. While
securing the paddle, so it does not spin, use a
7/8-inch socket to turn the outer nut of the pulley
clockwise (the pulley is left-handed, so loosening
and tightening occur in reverse orientation;
clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise
to tighten). Once the old pulley is removed,
replace the big pulley and tighten the outer nut
counterclockwise with the 7/8-inch socket. Replace
and tighten the screw and washer (Fig. 34).
NOTE: Heavy wet snow puts a load on
belts, thus requiring more frequent belt
replacement.
4. To install the new belt,
lift the belt tension
and roll the new belt
onto the little pulley
at an angle. Then
roll the belt onto the
top of big pulley by
rotating the big pulley
counterclockwise
as the belt grips the
top of the big pulley
(Fig. 35).
5. Replace the left panel of the snowblower with all
screws (Fig. 33).
