•Wheels: Once a season, remove the bolt from each wheel and take the wheel off the axle. Apply a multipurpose automotive grease on the axle shaft before putting back the wheels.

•Shift Rod: Use a grease or light oil to lubricate the rotating parts of the shift rod after 25 hours of operation.

•Pivot Points: All pivoting points on the snow thrower should be lubricated with a light oil once a season.

•Drive/Auger Control Lock: The cam on the ends of the control rods which interlock the drive and auger controls must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25 hours of operation using a multi-purpose automotive grease. The cam can be accessed beneath the handle panel.

Check V-Belts

Follow instructions below to check the condition of the drive belts every 50 hours of operation.

1.Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the engine by removing two self-tapping screws.

2.Visually inspect for frayed, cracked, or excessively worn out belts. Replace, if necessary, following instructions on page 14.

Check Friction Wheel

Follow instructions below to check the condition of the friction wheel rubber every 50 hours of operation.

1.Remove the self-tapping screws from the frame cover underneath the snow thrower. Refer to Figure 15.

2.Visually inspect the friction wheel rubber for excessive wear, cracks, or loose fit on the friction wheel drive hub.

3.Also engage the drive control and check if the friction wheel is making contact with drive plate. If it does not make contact, adjust the drive cable (refer to page17) and recheck the friction wheel.

4.Replace friction wheel rubber if necessary. Refer to instructions on page 16.

5.Re-attach frame cover to the snow thrower and put the equipment back to operating position.

Check Chute Cables

Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever is earlier, check whether the chute cables have slackened. Adjust if necessary, following instructions on page 18.

Checking Oil Level

Before operating snow thrower, check the oil level by following steps below.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi- viscosity oils also result in higher oil consumption when used above 32oF. Check your snow thrower’s engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

1.With engine on level ground, oil must be to FULL mark on dipstick. See Figure 11 .

2.Stop engine and wait several minutes before checking oil level. Remove oil fill cap and dipstick.

3.Wipe dipstick clean, insert it into oil fill hole and tighten securely.

4.Remove dipstick and check. If oil is not up to the FULL mark on dipstick, add oil.
