SECTION 7:  SERVICING YOUR SNOW THROWER
WARNING:  Before servicing, repairing,  or
inspecting,  disengage  all  clutch  levers  and
stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have
come  to  a complete  stop.  Disconnect spark
plug wire and ground it against the engine to
prevent unintended starting.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts,
belleville washers and hex nuts which attach it to
the snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave
plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are
to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely.
Belt Removal and Replacement
Augers
Auger Belts
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 16. If you hit
a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the bolts may shear.
Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the
engine by removing the two self-tapping screws.
See Figure 17.

Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower, or place
a piece of plastic film under the gas cap.
Tip the snow thrower up and forward so that it rests
on its auger housing.
Remove six self-tapping screws from the frame
cover underneath the snow thrower.
If the augers do not turn, check if the bolts have
sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex lock
nuts have been provided with the snow thrower. Refer
to Loose Parts on page 5. For future use, order kit
number OEM-710-0890.
Roll the front and rear auger belts off the engine
pulley. See Figure 18.
IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with
standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox
or other components, as a result of doing so, will NOT
be coved by your snow throwers warranty.
