Augers
• The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike
a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the pins may shear.
Refer to Figure 6.
• If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins
have sheared. One set of replacement shear pins
has been provided with the snow thrower. When
replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into shaft
before inserting new pins.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER replace the auger shear pins with
anything other than OEM Part No.738-04124
replacement shear pins. Any damage to the auger
gearbox or other components as a result of failing to do
so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s
warranty.
SECTION 7: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
WARNING: Never store the machine or
fuel container indoors where there is an open
flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.
WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved
container outdoors, away from open flame.
Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition
prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for
extended period deteriorates and will cause
serious starting problems.
If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage
as follows:
• Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to
prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts
and causing possible malfunction of engine.
• Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine
stops due to lack of fuel.
• Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain,
located below the carburetor cover.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizers, such as STA-BIL®, are an
acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Do not drain
carburetor if using a fuel stabilizer.
• Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
• Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine
oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover
spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several
times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.
• Follow the lubrication recommendations found in
the Maintenance Section.
• Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.
When storing any type of power equipment in an
unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains,
springs, bearings and cables.
