Two videos I saw on youtube were very interesting.One was brand new machine out of the box, shiny and all.You can see the cardboard box the machine came in the background.The other one is on the job. The second HS621 has a throttle?That I had not seen before.

The paddles have an "R" and an "L" stamped into them to denote which side they are to be installed. The middle paddles do not have anything on them except some sort of of alpha/numeric code. It's amazing to see how much wear was on the old ones after installing the new paddles - there's barely any gap between the paddle and the bucket. I compared the new and old paddles by placing one on top of the other and the difference in width was substantial - overall about 1/2". Should produce a huge difference in the throwing ability and overall  peformance. Once again, I wait for a storm to try out my new to me toy!!!!

So are the symbols on the textured side of the rubber?  I can't remember, but looking at the installed rubber augers, all of mine have the textured size towards the metal for better grip. 

Here is a picture showing the way I put the scraper.Is that the right way?

And the picture of symbols on HS35.Apparently the wrong way.:
