SNOW THROWER
AFTER FIRST USE
•Check for any loose or damaged parts after each use.
•Tighten any loose fasteners,
•Check and maintain the auger.
AFTER EACH USE
•Remove all snow and slush off the snow
thrower to prevent freezing of auger or controls.
•Check controls to make sure they are functioning properly.
•If any parts are worn or damaged, replace immediately.
SNOW THROWER
LUBRICATION - EVERY 10 HOURS
•Auger Shaft - Using a hand grease gun, lubricate the auger shaft zerk fittings (See figure below) every ten (10) operating hours. Each time a shear bolt is replaced (See To Replace Auger Shear Bolt on page 22), the auger shaft MUST be greased.
•For storage or when replacing shear bolts, remove shear bolts and lubricate
auger shaft zerks. Rotate augers several times on the shaft and reinstall the shear bolts.
•See Lubrication Chart diagram on page 15 for lubrication points and type of lubri- cant.
LUBRICATION - EVERY 25 HOURS
•Lubricate Disc Drive Plate every twenty- five (25) hours and at the end of the sea- son and/or before storage.
To Lubricate:
•Position speed selector lever in first gear.
•Stand the snow thrower up on the auger housing end.

•Remove the bottom panel (see second figure on page 20).
•Turn disc drive plate clockwise by hand
until grease zerk is clearly visible at front center. See figure above.
•Place a coin or (a shim of equal thiok- ness) between the rubber friction wheel and disc drive plate to prevent rubber fric- tion wheel contacting the drive disc.
•To grease zerk, use a hand grease gun, lubricate with a Hi Temp EP Moly grease
See inset of figure above. DO NOT over fill or allow grease to come in contact with the disc drive plate or friction wheel or damage will result. Fill zerk only until grease becomes visible below bearing as- sembly located under grease zerk see in- sert above.
IMPORTANT: Remove coin and ensure that
a gap exists between friction wheel and disc drive plate.
NOTE: Clean all excess grease found on friction disc hub.
CAUTION; Do not allow grease to contact friction wheel and disc drive plate.
LUBRICATION - BEFORE STORAGE
•Remove both wheels, grease (any auto- motive type grease) both axles, see figure below, and replace wheels. Do this at least once a year and/or prior to storage.
