Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with four
shear pins and cotter pins. See Figure 10. If you hit a
foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed
so that the pins may shear.
If the augers do not turn, check to see if the pins have
sheared. Replace, if needed, with proper shear pins.
refer to item 22 on page 22 for part number.
IMPORTANT:NEVER replace the auger shear pins with
standard pins or fasteners. Any damage to the auger
gearbox or other components, as a result of doing so,
will NOT be covered by your snow thrower's warranty.
