CHECK CLUTCH OPERATION

Auger / impeller must stop within 5 seconds when attachment clutch lever is released.

Wheels must stop quickly when traction drive clutch lever is released.

If clutches do not engage or disengage properly, adjust or repair before operation. See Attachment Clutch/Brake Adjustment on page 30 and Traction Drive Clutch Adjustment on page 33.

CHECK CLUTCH CABLE

CHECK ENGINE OIL

Park unit on a level surface. Refer to Engine Manual for detailed instructions.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

NOTICE: Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm oil will flow more freely and carry away more contaminants.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

(920013, 014, 021)

Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire

sidewall. See Check Tire Pressure on

page 13.

CHECK AUGER GEARCASE

(Figure 21)

IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be maintained.

Gear cases are filled to the correct level at the factory. Unless there is evidence of leakage, no additional lubricant should be required. Check oil level each season or every 25 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT: Be sure unit is resting on a level surface before checking lubricant levels.
