Replacing Auger Paddles
The snow blower auger's rubber paddles are subject to wear and should be replaced
if any signs of excessive wear are present.
Do NOT allow the auger's rubber paddles to wear to the point where
portions of the metal auger itself can come in contact with the pavement.
Doing so can result in serious damage to your snow blower.
