4.10 SHEAR BOLTS
IMPORTANT: Use only Ariens shear bolts for
replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolt may
result in severe damage to unit.
Occasionally a foreign object entering the blower
housing may jam the auger and break the shear bolts
(
Figure 11) that secure the auger to the shaft. Breaking
the shear bolts prevents damage to the gear drive by
allowing the auger to turn freely on the shaft.
Shear Bolt Replacement
1. Align shear bolt holes in auger with shear bolt
holes in shaft.
2. Drive shear bolt through hole. (If shear bolt was
broken, this will drive remaining part from shaft.)
3. Secure shear bolt with nut.
NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the shear bolt. Tighten
shear bolt to 5.8
– 12.2 lbf-ft (7.9 – 16.5 N•m).
4.11 TIRE PRESSURE
Keep tires inflated to pressure listed on the tire
sidewall.
