Replacing Shear Bolt

  1. Avoid damage! Replacement shear bolts must be same as original shear bolts on attachment:

    Softer bolts can shear too easily.

    Harder bolts may not shear and attachment can be damaged.

    When the auger hits an object, a shear bolt may break. This breakage helps prevent damage to rotor and snowblower. Replace broken shear bolts.

    Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

    Remove broken shear bolt (A), one from each end, or one from impeller.

    Turn auger or blower impeller to line up holes in shaft. Remove spare shear bolt (A) from snowblower.


  4. Install bolt and nut. Tighten so that the paddles the shear bolt connects are touching. Do not overtighten nut.

  5. Find and correct the cause for shearing.
