The auger are secured to the spiral shaft with
two shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger
should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the
snowblower is designed so that the pins may
shear. (See Fig. 26)
•
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the
pins have sheared. One set of replacement
shear pins has been provided with the
snowblower. When replacing pins, spray an
oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new
pins.
