Maintaining
Your Snow
Thrower
Auger Belt
Replacement
To remove and replace your snow thrower’s auger belt,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the
engine by removing the two self-tapping screws,
Figure 6-4.
NOTE: Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower, or
place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.
2. Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so
that it rests on the auger housing. Remove the frame
cover from the underside of the snow thrower by
removing four self-tapping screws which secure it,
Figure 6-5.
3. Roll the auger belt off the engine pulley, Figure 6-6.
4. a. Loosen and remove the shoulder screw which
acts as a belt keeper, Figure 6-7.
b. Unhook the support bracket spring from the
frame.
5. Remove the belt from around the auger pulley, and
slip the belt between the support bracket and the
auger pulley, Figure 6-8. Reassemble auger belt by
following instructions in reverse order.
NOTE: Do not forget to reinstall the shoulder screw
and reconnect the spring to the frame after install-
ing a replacement auger belt.
Although multi-viscosity
oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold
weather, these multi-
viscosity oils also result
in higher oil consump-
tion when used above
32ºF. Check your snow
thrower’s engine oil level
more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage
from running low on oil.
NEVER replace the auger
shear pins with standard
pins. 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.
Do not sandblast spark
plug. Spark plug should
be cleaned by scraping or
wire brushing and wash-
ing with a commercial
solvent.
