AUGER HOUSING GUARD/SCRAPER - ADJUSTMENT AND RE-
PLACEMENT
If the auger housing guard and the scraper are de.formed or improperly adjusted, the
snow thrower will not clear the snow evenly.
REPLACEMENT INTERVAL: Replace the auger housing guard and the scraper every
5 years, or whenever the auger rubbers are replaced. Replace these parts if they
become too deformed to clear snow evenly.
CLEARANCE INSPECTION:
Place the snowthrower on a level surface and check the clearance between the scraper
and the ground. For clearing snow from a relatively smooth surface, the scraper should
just touch the ground.

Bolts and nuts for fastening auger housing guard
ADJUSTMENT/REPLACEMENT:
To adjust the scraper, loosen the four mounting bolts, and then adjust the clearance
between the scraper and the ground as necessary. Tighten the bolts, and then
recheck the clearance.
To replace, remove the bolts, and then remove the old parts. Install the new parts,
adjust the scraper clearance as described above and then tighten the bolts.
