When to Replace

• Replace immediately after a pin has sheared or broken
• A broken pin is indicated when the auger assembly no longer rotates while the engine is running
• Pins typically break when the auger strikes a hard object such as a rock, curb, or thick ice
• Keep spare pins on hand to minimize equipment downtime

Installation Tips

• For safety, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before servicing
• Align the hole on the auger shaft with the corresponding hole on the auger blade
• Insert the shear pin completely through the aligned holes
• Fasten the pin with the supplied locknut
• Do not substitute with a standard hardware bolt, as this will prevent the protective shear action and can lead to severe gearbox damage
