Adjusting/Replacing the Scraper Blade
NOTICE: The scraper blade is subject to wear because
of frequent contact with the ground.
In general, to obtain the best snow removal result and be
operator-friendly, the scraper blade is preset 1-3 mm
higher than the lower edge of the auger. If the scraper
blade is set too high, snow may blow under the auger
housing. If the scraper blade is set too low, it will be
difficult to push the machine forward while throwing snow.
If the blade is excessively worn or if any of the issues
mentioned above appear, reverse the blade or replace it.
Adjust the reversible scraper blade:
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop and
for hot parts to cool.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. Empty the fuel tank with a suction pump.
4. Tip the snow blower to the side so that the muffler
faces the ground.
5. Loosen the four nuts and bolts which secure the scraper
blade to the housing. Move the scraper blade to the
appropriate position or reverse the existing scraper
blade. (Fig.14)
6. Reinstall the nuts and bolts and tighten securely.
7. Tip the snow blower back to the operating position and
pull the recoil starter handle a few times.
8. If it is difficult to pull, remove the spark plug and pull the
recoil starter handle several times to ensure that any oil
trapped in the engine head is removed.
9. Inspect the spark plug. If it is wet, clean off any oil before
re-installing.

Replacing the Auger Paddle
CAUTION: The auger's rubber paddles are subject to
wear and should be replaced if any signs of excessive wear
are present.
CAUTION: Only use a replacement auger paddle
authorized by the manufacturer of your snow blower.
Use of unauthorized auger paddles is hazardous and may
damage your snow blower.
CAUTION: Do NOT allow the auger's rubber paddles
to wear to the point where portions of the auger itself
can meet the pavement. Doing so can result in serious
damage to your snow blower.
NOTE: The auger paddles should be replaced one at a time.
The auger paddle that is still attached can be used as
a point of reference for positioning and re-installing the
new paddle.
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop and
for hot parts to cool.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. Remove one of the existing rubber paddles by loosening
the 6 screws that attach them to the auger. (Fig.15A/Fig.15B)
4. Secure the replacement rubber paddle to the auger using
the screws removed earlier.

WARNING: Ensure the auger is properly seated and
screws are tightened firmly. Failure to do so could cause
it to come loose and result in poor performance or
possible serious personal injury.
Replacing the Auger Drive Belt
CAUTION: Only use replacement parts authorized by
the manufacturer. Use of belt not authorized is hazardous
and may damage your snow blower.
It is necessary to replace the auger drive belt when:
• Malfunction due to the drive belt splitting
• The drive belt is slipping and adjusting the auger control
cable tension provides little to no improvement.
To replace the drive belt:
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop and
for hot parts to cool.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
3. Slide a board up through the auger and through the
chute to secure the auger in place.
4. Detach the belt cover by removing four screws that
secure it to the frame. (Fig.16A)
5. Remove the belt around the drive pulley. (Fig.16B)
6. Install the new belt.
7. Squeeze the auger control lever against the upper handle
to see if the tension is correct.
8. Install the belt cover and tighten the four screws.
9. Remove the board from the auger and chute.
