WARNING
Before beginning any repair stop the engine, remove the key, disconnect the spark plug wire, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
LUBRICATION
Note: The drive pulley end of auger shaft is supported by a sealed ball bearing and requires no lubrication. The ball bearing on other end of auger shaft is also sealed, and will not require lubrication.
Lightly Oil
•A few drops of oil should be placed on wheel hubs occasionally to keep wheels turning freely.
•Apply oil to pivot points of auger control peri- odically, wiping off any excess oil.
•A couple of drops of light machine oil applied to upper end of auger control cable will assure free movement of cable through outside casing. Wipe off any excess oil.
•Remove belt cover and lightly apply oil to the pivot point for idler pulley arm. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET OIL ON BELT OR PULLEYS.
Grease
•At the beginning of each snow throwing sea- son, remove discharge chute and generously lubricate steel flange at back of rotating ring with light grease. Rotate ring with crank to dis- tribute grease.
