Auger Shaft
At least once a season, one at a time, remove the shear pins from the auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside the hub of each auger spiral assembly and around the spacers on the auger shaft. See Figure
Grease fittings can also be found at each end of the auger shaft. Lubricate with a grease gun once a season. See Figure

Gear Case
The auger gear case is equipped with a grease fitting. Lubricate with Shell Alvania
NOTE: To relieve pressure, remove the vent plug before lubricating the gear case. See Figure
Augers
Each of the four auger spiral assemblies is secured to the spiral shaft with a shear pin and cotter pin. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear.
1.If augers do not turn, check to see if pins have sheared.
2.Replace the pins if needed. Two replacement shear pins and cotter pins have been provided with the snow thrower. Spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins and securing with new cotter pins.

3.Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable.
4.Retighten the hex nut.
Chute Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute bracket can be adjusted. To do so:
1.Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and reposition it slightly. See Figure
