AUGER SHEAR PINS REPLACEMENT
Shear pins are used to attach the auger shaft to the auger blades. Stop the machine by removing the
safety key. A clog or jam in the augers may cause one or multiple shear pins to break. The shear pins
are a safety mechanism and designed to break under high load or impact and protect the auger drive
system from damage.
Replacement shear pins and nylon locknuts are provided with your snow
thrower.
For additional replacement shear pins, please call the customer service
department at [phone].
1. Turn off the machine and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop. Remove any
remnants of the broken shear pin. It may be necessary to unscrew the nut from the broken shear pin
and drive out the broken pin.
2. Insert a new shear pin through the hole in the auger shaft and tighten using the shear pin nylon
locknut. Do not over-tighten the nylon locknut.
NOTICE: Never replace the shear pins with standard pins or fasteners. Damage may occur to the
snow blower and drive systems.
