6. To protect the snow thrower from corrosion when storing
for long periods, lightly oil the metal parts.
7. Store the appliance in a dry and high or locked area out of
the reach of children.
8. For the user's safety, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced. Replace with original replacement parts only.
Parts from another snow thrower may not fit properly
causing an unsafe situation.
Replacing the Rubber Plates
NOTE: When replacing worn rubber plates, pay close attention
to carefully distinguish between the coarse and smooth side of
the plates. Place the coarse side inside and the smooth side
outside.
1. Detach the worn rubber plate by removing the two sets of
nuts, bolts and washers used to secure it (Figs. 21 – 22).
2. Install the new rubber plate and insert the bolt with the
small flat washer into the corresponding holes on each of
the rubber plate. Use a large flat washer and locknut to
secure the bolt on each end (Fig. 21).
3. Install the other rubber plate in the same manner (Fig. 23).
Replacing the Scraper Bar
1. The scraper bar is located at the base of the snow thrower
beneath the rotor housing (Fig. 24).
2. Remove the screws that secure the scraper bar to the
snow thrower (Fig. 25).
3. Install the new scraper bar and fasten it securely to the
snow thrower with the screws.
Replacing the Belt
NOTE: Under normal operating conditions it should not be
necessary to replace the auger belt. However, should the auger
jam or malfunction, the belt could be damaged. To replace the
belt follow the instructions.
NOTE: Determine the left and right hand side of the snow
thrower by standing behind the unit in the normal operating
position.
