do not completely remove, the hex nut and bell
washer on the left end of gear shaft. See Figure 20.
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:
Hex Nut /
Bell Washer
•
Remove the four carriage bolts, bell washers and
hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower.
•
Reassemble new skid shoes with the four 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,
belleville 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.
Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. Refer to Figure 14. If you
hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the bolts may shear. If the augers will
not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared.
NOTE: Snow thrower shown resting on its
auger housing. Wheels not shown for clarity.
