4. Informações de segurança

Always prioritize safety when working with power equipment and mechanical components. Failure to follow safety precautions can result in serious injury or damage to equipment.

• Desconecte a energia: Before beginning any work on your snowblower, ensure the engine is off, the spark plug wire is disconnected, and the key is removed to prevent accidental starting.
• Use equipamento de proteção: Use sempre equipamento de proteção individual (EPI) adequado, incluindo óculos de segurança, luvas e calçado resistente.
• Proteja a máquina: Ensure the snowblower is stable and cannot move during maintenance. Use wheel chocks if necessary.
• Read Snowblower Manual: Refer to your snowblower's original owner's manual for specific disassembly and reassembly procedures.
• Handle Parts Carefully: Components may have sharp edges or be heavy. Handle with care to avoid injury.
• Ferramentas adequadas: Utilize as ferramentas corretas para cada tarefa a fim de evitar danos às peças ou ferimentos.

5. Instruções de instalação

Replacing the auger gear and shaft requires mechanical aptitude. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a qualified service technician.

1. Preparação:
   • Ensure the snowblower is on a flat, stable surface.
   • Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the ignition key.
   • Gather necessary tools, which typically include wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, a hammer, and a punch for roll pins.
2. Access the Auger Housing:
   • Depending on your snowblower model, you may need to remove the belt cover, chute, or other components to gain access to the auger gearbox.
   • Carefully remove any shear pins or bolts securing the auger assembly.
3. Remover componentes antigos:
   • Locate the auger gearbox. You will typically find the worm gear and shaft inside.
   • Remove any retaining clips, bolts, or roll pins that secure the old worm gear and shaft. Note their orientation for reassembly.
   • Carefully extract the old auger shaft and worm gear. Inspect surrounding components for wear or damage.
4. Instalar novos componentes:
   • Apply a small amount of appropriate grease to the new auger shaft and the bore of the new worm gear.
   • Slide the new worm gear onto the auger shaft, ensuring the cross-pin hole aligns correctly.
   • Insert the new auger shaft and worm gear assembly into the gearbox housing.
   • Secure the worm gear to the shaft using a new roll pin (not included in this kit, often recommended for replacement).
   • Ensure all components are seated correctly and move freely without binding.
5. Remontar:
   • Reattach any covers, belts, or chute components that were removed.
   • Certifique-se de que todos os fixadores estejam apertados de acordo com as especificações do fabricante.
   • Replace shear pins with new ones if they were removed or damaged.
6. Verificação final:
   • Before starting the engine, manually rotate the auger to ensure smooth operation and no obstructions.
   • Reconecte o fio da vela de ignição.
   • Perform a test run in a clear area, following your snowblower's operating instructions.

Note: New roll pins are often recommended for replacement during this process but are not included in this kit. Please acquire them separately if needed.

6. Manutenção

Proper maintenance extends the life of your snowblower components, including the auger gear and shaft.

• Lubrificação: Periodically check the auger gearbox for proper lubrication levels as specified in your snowblower's manual. Use only recommended lubricants.
• Inspeção: Regularly inspect the auger gear and shaft for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, especially after heavy use.
• Obstruções claras: Always clear any foreign objects (rocks, sticks, etc.) from the auger housing immediately to prevent damage to the auger and gearbox components.
• Pinos de cisalhamento: Ensure shear pins are in good condition and replace them with the correct type if they break or show signs of fatigue. Shear pins are designed to protect the auger gearbox from damage.
