AUGER SHEAR BOLTS
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two shear bolts and
hex lock nuts. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower
is designed so that the bolts may shear. Two replacement shear
bolts and nuts are provided for your convenience. Store in a safe
place until needed.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with standard
hex bolts. 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.
