MAINTENANCE
NUTS AND BOLTS
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness after the first 5 hours of operation, then check yearly after that.
Shear bolts should not be overtightened as this may cause unpredictable shearing action.
DRIVE CHAIN
1. Retighten the
fan
drive chain when slack exceeds 3/4 inch at the center of the bottom chain section.
2. The drive chain is tightened by loosening the bolts on the idler roller plate and forcing the idler against
the chain, then retightening the bolts.
3. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as this will increase wear of the idler roller. Allow approximately 3/8 inch of
slack up or down at the center of the bottom chain section.
SHEAR BOLTS
1. IMPORTANT : If a shear bolt breaks during operation, immediately shut down the tractor and replace the
shear bolt.
2. The shear bolts used on these snow blower fans are P/N 0078
3436
. This shear bolt is machined around
the shank to facilitate shear at the protected fan load.
3. Specified shear bolt and their locations are listed below:
NOTE: Special machined bolt required for fan shear.
Tighten nut only enough to draw the shear plates together. Do not overtighten nut. Occa-
sionally apply grease to the shear plates.
Replacement of the shear bolt with one of any other grade or size will be considered
an unauthorized modification and the warranty will be void.
