SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER
NOTE: Any reference in this manual to the left or right
side of the snow thrower is observed from the
operator’s position.
Unpacking
• Remove staples from the top sides and ends of the
shipping crate.
• Set panel aside to avoid tire punctures or personal
injury.
• Remove and discard plastic bag that covers unit.
• Remove any loose parts included with unit (i.e.,
Operator’s Manual, etc).
• Roll unit out of crate.
Loose Parts
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a foreign object
or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the
bolts may shear. Two replacement shear bolts and nuts
are provided for your convenience. Store in a safe
place until needed. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
Assembly
Disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground it against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
• Remove the lower two plastic wing nuts, cupped
washers and carriage bolts from each side of the
lower handle. See Figure 2.

or change directions.
• If not already attached, slip the cables that run from
the handle panel to the chute into the cable guide
on top of the engine. See Figure 5.
