TIRE MAINTENANCE
Inspect the tires after each use for wear and tear. Keep
the tires away from gasoline, oil, and other chemicals,
in order to prevent degradation of the rubber. Avoid
running over stumps, stones, ruts, glass, knives, sea
urchins, porcupines, and other sharp objects that could
damage the tires.
Maintain tire pressure. Recommended tire pressure is
20 - 24 PSI (137.9 – 165 kPa). Use a standard tire pres-
sure gauge to check tire pressure. Keep tire pressure
the same in each tire. Fill tires using a portable air com-
pressor or other compressed air source. The tires are
equipped with a Schrader valve.
WARNING! Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the
tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.
Use of other parts may be hazardous or induce product failure.
REPLACING SHEAR PINS (FIG. 27)
If a shear pin fails, it has done its job in protecting the
product from damage. Replacement shear pins and
bowtie clips can be ordered from wenproducts.com
(Part No's. SB24E-0208 and SB24E-0209 , respective-
ly). Shear pins and bowtie clips are not covered under
the warranty.
To replace the the shear pins, stop the engine and wait
for the auger blades to come to a complete stop. In-
stall a new shear pin (A) and bowtie clip (B). Your snow
blower comes with two spare shear pins and two spare
bowtie clips.
SCRAPER BAR MAINTENANCE
Check the scraper bar (see page 11) for excess wear - if
it has begun to exhibit signs of severe wear, it is time
to replace it. Replacement scraper bars can be ordered
from wenproducts.com (Part No. SB24E-0329 ). Scrap-
er bars are a wear-out part and are not covered under
the warranty.
To replace the scraper bar, remove the four nuts and
bolts that secure the scraper bar to the auger housing.
Install the new scraper bar and replace the nuts and
bolts. Securely tighten the nuts.
WARNING! Over-inflating a tire could cause it to
burst, causing severe injury. DO NOT INFLATE TIRE
PAST 24 PSI.
CAUTION! When storing your snow blower for the
season, decrease tire pressure to 20 PSI. As spring
arrives, the air in your tires will warm up and expand,
raising the internal tire pressure. If the tire pressure
is not lowered, they could burst.
CAUTION! NEVER use an open flame (such as a
lighter, blowtorch, or flamethrower) to melt snow or
ice. Bring the snow blower to a heated area and let
the snow or ice melt on its own, or use a hairdryer
or heat gun.
NOTE: The tires are tubeless. If the air pressure is
allowed to drop too low, the tire may come off the
rim and need to be re-beaded.
IMPELLER & AUGER MAINTENANCE
Check the impeller and auger for snow, ice, and debris
before and after use. Remove any snow, ice or debris
before storing the snow blower, or starting it.
