SHEAR
PINS
The augers are secured
to
the auger shaft
with
shear
pins
and
clevis pins.
If
the auger should strike a foreign
\. \. object
or
ice jam, the snow blower
is
designed
so
that
//
the pins may shear, preventing damage
to
any
other
components.
If
augers will not turn, check
to
see
if
the
pins
have
sheared.
Replace
the shear pins
if
necessary.
