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 insure 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 26), spacer (B), and locknut
(C) found in the 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 27).
CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Explosive separation of tire and
rim parts is possible when they are serviced 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 recommended 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.
