SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER
NOTE: This Operator's Manual covers several models.
Snow thrower features vary by model. Not all
features discussed in this manual are applicable to all
snow thrower models.
Loose Parts
•
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two
shear pins and bow tie cotter pins. If you hit a
foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the pins may shear. Two
replacement shear pins and cotter pins are
provided for your convenience. See Figure 1. Store
these safely until needed.
Shear Pins

be covered by your snow thrower's warranty.
