blades to stop rotating. Clean out the clog with the clean-
out tool (H).

SHAVE PLATE REPLACEMENT
Remove both skid shoes and hardware, including carriage bolts and nuts,
which attach shave plate to snowblower housing. Reassemble new shave plate,
making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the auger housing.
See Assembly and Installation.
AUGER SHEAR PINS REPLACEMENT
NOTICE! Never replace the shear pins with standard pins or fasteners. Damage
may occur to the snow blower and drive systems.
Shear pins attach the auger shaft to the auger blades. A clog or jam in the
augers may cause one or multiple shear pins to break. The shear pins are a
safety mechanism and designed to break under high load or impact to protect
the auger drive system from damage.
Replacement shear pins and nylon locknuts are provided with your
snowblower.
