Replacing Shear Pins
The auger housing is shown as Fig. 24A. The augers are secured
to the auger drive with shear pins (A) and clips (B) (Fig. 24B). If the
auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snowblower is
designed so that the lock pins may shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the lock pins have
sheared (Fig. 24B). Replacement shear pin(s) and clip(s) are found
on the back of the control panel (Fig. 24C).
