How
To Replace
the
Auger
Shear
Bolt
The augers
are secured
to the auger shaft with
special
shear bolts. These
shear
bolts are
designed
to break and protect
the machine
if an
object
becomes
lodged
in the auger
housing.
Do
not use a harder
bolt as the protection
provided
by the shear bolt will be lost.
,_
WARNING:
For safety
and to
protect
the machine,
use only
original
equipment
shear
bolts.
To replace
a broken
shear bolt, proceed
as
follows.
Extra shear
bolts were provided
in the
assembly
parts bag.
1. (Figure
1) Move
the stop
switch
(13) to the
stop position.
Disengage
all controls.
2.
Disconnect
the spark
plug wire. Make sure
all moving
parts have stopped.
3. (Figure
14) Lubricate
the auger
shaft Zerk
fitting
(1), if equipped,
with a grease
gun.
4.
(Figure

How
To Prepare
The
Snow
Thrower
For
Storage
_
ARNING:
Do not remove
gasoline
while
inside
a building,
near a fire,
or while
you smoke.
Gasoline
fumes
can cause
an explosion
or a fire.
If the snow thrower
is to be stored
for an
extended
period,
refer to the engine
manufacturer's
operating
manual
(included
with
some
models)
for important
maintenance
or
storage
details.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2.
Let the engine
run until it is out of gasoline.
3. Never store the snow thrower with fuel in the
tank inside a building
where
ignition sources
are present such as hot water and space
heaters,
clothes dryers,
and the like. Allow the
engine
(motor)
to cool before storing
in any
enclosure.
4.
Drain the oil from the warm engine.
Fill the
engine
crankcase
with new oil.
5. Thoroughly
clean the snow thrower.
6.
Lubricate
all lubrication
points.
See the
Maintenance
section.
7.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are
securely
fastened.
Inspect all visible
moving
parts for damage,
breakage
and wear.
Replace
if necessary.
8.
Cover the bare metal parts of the blower
housing,
auger, and the impeller
with spray
rust preventative
lubricant.
9. Put the unit in a building
that has good
ventilation.
Store in a clean and dry area, but
NOT near a stove, furnace
or water heater
which
uses a pilot light or any device
that can
create
a spark.
10. If the machine
must be stored
outdoors,
block up the snow thrower
to be sure the
entire
machine
is off the ground.
11 .Cover
the snow thrower
with a suitable
protective
cover
that does not retain
moisture.
Do not use plastic.
