Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with four shear pins and
cotter pins. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower
is designed so that the pins may shear. Refer to Fig. 5-1.
If the augers do not turn, check if the pins have sheared. Replace,
if needed, with proper shear pins. Refer to Parts List for correct
part number.
CAUTION: NEVER replace the auger shear pins with
standard pins or fasteners. 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.
