Powersmart DB7659 - Servicing Augers and Shear Pins

Maintaining & Servicing Your Snow Thrower
Servicing Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with four shear pins and nylon locknuts. If you hit a foreign
object or ice jam. The snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear.
If the augers do not turn, check if the pins have sheared. Replace, if needed, with proper shear pins.
IMPORTANT: 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.
