IMPORTANT: Be careful not to allow grease to get on the drive plate or friction wheel.
Drive Control / Auger Control Lock
The cams 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
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit for all engine lubrication instructions.
Bonded Friction Wheel
Follow the instructions below to check the condition of the bonded friction wheel every 25 hours of operation.
•Remove the six
•Visually inspect the bonded friction wheel for excessive wear, cracks, or loose fit on the friction wheel drive hub.
•Also engage the drive control and check if the friction wheel is making contact with the friction plate. Refer to Figure 11.
•If it does not make contact, adjust the drive cable and recheck the friction wheel.
•Replace bonded friction wheel if necessary. Refer to instructions in Service Section on Page 17.
SECTION 7: SERVICING YOUR SNOW THROWER
WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all controls and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Always wear safety glasses during operation or while performing any adjustments or repairs.
Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and flange lock nuts. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts may shear. See Figure 17.
If the augers do not turn, check if the bolts have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and flange lock nuts have been provided with the snow thrower. Refer to Hardware Pack on page 5.
IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components, as a result of doing so, will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.
Shave Plate and Skid Shoes
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.
NOTE: The skid shoes on this machine have two wear edges. When one side wears out, they can be rotated 180° to use the other edge.
•Remove the six carriage bolts (three per side), and flange lock nuts which secure the skid shoes to the snow thrower on either side. See .
•Reassemble new skid shoes with the hardware removed earlier. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level. Refer to .
•To remove the shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, and flange lock nuts which secure the shave plate to the snow thrower housing. See Figure 17.
