SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER
NOTE:
All references to right or left side of the snow
thrower are determined from behind the unit in the
operating position. The “operator’s position” is defined
as standing directly behind the snow thrower, facing the
handle panel.
Hardware Pack
Figure 1
•
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two
shear bolts and flange lock nuts. If you hit a foreign
object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so
that the bolts may shear. Two replacement shear
bolts and nuts are provided for your convenience.
Store in a safe place until needed. See Figure 1.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with
standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox
or other components from standard hex bolts will not be
covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.
Assembling Handle
WARNING:
Disconnect the spark plug
wire and ground it against the engine to
prevent unintended starting.
IMPORTANT:
Make any adjustments, as instructed on
Page 11, before operating your snow thrower. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause damage to the
snow thrower.

lower
plastic wing nut, cupped
