Shear Pin Replacement
e auger is attached to the spiral shaft with shear pins
secured with cotter pins. If the auger should strike a foreign
object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed to shear off
those pins (see Figure 17). If the auger will not rotate, check if
the pins have been sheared. When replacing shear pins, spray
an oil lubricant into the shaft before inserting new pins.
Shave Plate and Skid Shoes
e shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the
snow thrower are subject to wear. ey should be checked
periodically and replaced when necessary.
To remove skid shoes:
1. Remove the four carriage bolts and hex flange nuts which
secure them to the snow thrower (see Figure 14).
2. Reassemble new skid shoes with the four carriage bolts
(two on each side) and hex flange nuts.
To remove shave plate:
1. Remove the carriage bolts and hex nuts which attach it to
the snow thrower housing (see Figure 18).
