CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS
•Before each use make a thorough visual check of the snow thrower for any bolts and nuts which may have loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
CHECK BELTS FOR WEAR
•Visually check both of the "V" belts on the snow thrower for wear or damage. Replace if the belt cover has become torn, frayed of is worn through.
CHECK SCRAPER AND SHOES FOR WEAR
(Refer to figures 27 and 28 on page 18.)
•The scraper plate, skid shoes and leveling shoes on the snow thrower are subject to wear through normal use. To prevent damage to the spiral auger housing, replace plate and shoes before wear is excessive.
CLEANING
•Clean out any dirt and debris from auger and impeller after each use.
•Before storing at the end of each season rinse out the auger and impeller housing. Allow to dry thoroughly.
•Before storing at the end of the season, paint any exposed metal surfaces to protect from rust.
LUBRICATION
•Oil all pivot points on snow thrower lift mechanism.
•Oil upper and lower idler arm pivot points on the clutch/idler assembly.
•Apply a good grade of spray lubricant to the trigger assembly on the lift handle and the chute tilt control assembly and cables on the crank support tube. See fi gure 26.
•Apply a small amount of oil between the inside of the discharge chute and the top of the discharge opening on the auger housing as needed to maintain easy rotation of the discharge chute. See fi gure 26.
