Auger Clutch Lever
Squeeze the clutch lever against
the handgrip to engage the auger
and start snow throwing action.
Release to disengage.
Scraper Blade & Skid Shoes
The scraper blade allows better contact with
the surface being cleared. It also prevents
damage to the housing from normal use.
The skid shoes are located on each side of
the auger housing and control the distance
between the scraper blade and the ground.
Adjust skid shoes equally to keep the scraper
blade level with the ground.
The scraper blade & skid shoes are subject
to wear and damage. Both scraper blade and
skid shoes are adjustable to compensate for
wear. They should be checked and adjusted
periodically. Replace when necessary.
Damage to auger housing will result
if scraper blade wears down too far.
Both scraper blade and skid shoes have two
wear edges. When one side wears out, they
can be rotated 180o to use the other edge.
Shear Pins
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with
shear pins and clevis pins. If the auger should
strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow
thrower is designed so that the pins may shear,
preventing damage to any other components. If
augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have
sheared. Replace the shear pins if necessary.
Do not substitute. Use only original
equipment shear pins as supplied
with your snow thrower.
Auger
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw
snow into the auger housing.
Discharge Chute
Snow drawn into the auger housing is
discharged out the discharge chute.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
Never use your hands to clear a
clogged discharge chute . Shut off
engine and remain behind handles
until all moving parts have stopped
before unclogging.
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently
fastened to the rear of the auger housing
with a mounting clip. Should snow and ice
become lodged in the discharge chute during
operation, proceed as follows to safely clean
the discharge chute and chute opening:
1. Release the auger clutch lever and shut off
the engine.
2. Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which
secures it to the rear of the auger housing.
3. Grasp the tool firmly by the handle and push and
twist the tool into the discharge chute to dislodge
the blockage.
4. Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting
clip on the rear of the auger housing.
5. Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a
safe direction (no vehicles, buildings, people, or
other objects are in the direction of discharge).
