the augers are secured to the spiral shaft with
two hex bolts and hex lock nuts (see ref. nos. 40
and 50 on page 24). If you hit a foreign object or
ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the
hex bolts will shear. Two replacement hex bolts
and nuts are provided in the hardware pack for
your convenience. Store in a safe place until
needed.
1. Remove snow thrower and all parts from the
carton. Make certain that all loose parts and
literature have been removed before the car­
ton is discarded.
Extend throttle control assembly which is at­
tached to engine at rear of the snow thrower
and place on floor. Be careful not to bend or
kink control wire.
To assemble the handle, loosen one self­
tapping screw and belleville washer on each
side of the unit. See figure 3. A 9/16" wrench
or adjustable wrench is required.
