SECTION 7: SERVICING YOUR SNOW THROWER
WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit for all engine maintenance procedures.
Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a hard foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts may shear. Refer to Figure 12.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared. Replacement shear bolts and hex lock nuts have been provided with the snow thrower. When replacing bolts, spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new bolts.
IMPORT ANT :
standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox
NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with
or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be covered by your snow throwers warranty.
Shave Plate and Skid Shoes
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary. To remove the skid shoes, proceed as follows:
Remove the six carriage bolts, bell washers, and hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower.
Reassemble new skid shoes with the six carriage bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes against skid shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, bell washers, and hex nuts which attach it to the snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely.

Off-season Storage
WARNING: Never store the machine or fuel container indoors where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, or other gas appliance.
WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from an open flame. Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for extended periods deteriorates and will cause starting problems.
If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as follows:
Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine.
Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to lack of fuel.
Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine
oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.
Follow the lubrication recommendations found in the Maintenance Section.
Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or metal sto rage shed, care shou ld be taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a ligh t oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables.
