MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug
wire and ground against the engine
before performing any repairs or
maintenance.
AUGERS
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with
two shear bolts and hex locknuts. See figure
21. A direct impact of an object will usually
cause the shear bolts to shear however, if you
ingest an object between the augers/impellers
and housing you may cause damage without
shearing bolts. Keep clear of foreign objects.
NOTE:
Locknuts cannot be threaded
onto a bolt by hand. This type of nut is
used where vibration occurs.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the
hex bolts have sheared. Two replacement
shear bolts (M) and hex lock nuts (N) have
been provided with the snowthrower. When re-
placing bolts, spray an oil lubricant into shaft
before inserting new bolts.
SHAVE PLATE AND SLIDE SHOES
The shave plate and slide shoes on the bottom
of the snowthrower are subject to wear. They
should be checked periodically and replaced
when necessary.
To remove slide shoes, remove the four car-
riage bolts, Belleville washers and hex nuts
which attach them to the snowthrower. Reas-
semble new slide shoes with the four carriage
bolts, Belleville washers (cupped side goes
against slide shoes) and hex nuts.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage
bolts, Belleville washers and hex nuts which at-
tach it and the slide shoes to the snowthrower
housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making
sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the in-
side of the housing. Tighten securely.
FRICTION WHEEL
Check wear on friction wheel at least once a
season. Replace rubber ring (friction wheel) be-
fore clamping plates damage aluminum drive
plate. See figures 18 and 26.
BELT REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
WARNING: Remove the spark plug
wire from the spark plug and
ground. Drain gasoline from the
fuel tank, or place a piece of plastic
film underneath the gas cap to pre-
vent gasoline from leaking.
• Disconnect chute crank assembly at the
discharge chute by removing the cotter
pin and flat washers. See figure 9.
• Remove the plastic belt cover on the front
of the engine by removing two self-tap-
ping screws. See figure 20.
AUGER DRIVE BELT:
• Unthread the bottom of the auger cable
from the “Z” fitting, leaving the hex nut in
place. See figure 5.
• Remove the six hex nuts, lockwashers and
hex nuts which attach the auger housing as-
sembly to the frame. See figure 21.
• Separate the housing from the frame as-
sembly by standing in the operating
position and lifting up on the handles.
The frame and housing will separate, and
the rear auger drive belt will come off the
pulleys. See figure 22.
