Replacing Auger Paddles
The snow thrower auger’s rubber paddles are subject to wear
and should be replaced if any signs of excessive wear are present.
CAUTION: Do NOT allow the auger’s rubber
paddles to wear to the point where portions of the
metal auger itself can come in contact with the
pavement. Doing so can result in serious damage to
your snow thrower.
To change the rubber paddles, proceed as follows:
Run the snow thrower until the fuel tank is empty.1.
Pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt. Then tip 2.
the snow thrower back until it rests on the handles.
Remove the existing rubber paddles by unthreading the hex 3.
washer screws which secure them to the auger. See Fig. 7-4.
NOTE: The auger paddles should be replaced one-at-a-time
so that the auger still attached can be used as an example for
positioning and re-installing the new auger.
Secure the replacement rubber paddles to the auger using 4.
the hardware removed earlier.
