To help you properly care for your snow blower, the following pages include a recommended maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Maintenance is the responsibility of the owner and must be performed regularly. More difficult service tasks or tasks that require special tools are best handled by a recommended service technician or other qualified mechanic.
The maintenance schedule described on page 19 applies to snow blower used under normal operating conditions. If you operate your snow blower under severe conditions, such as sustained prolonged use or use it in unusually wet, dusty or rocky conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
Be sure to use genuine STANLEY Snow Blower replacement parts when servicing your snow blower to assure the best quality, safety and performance.

If you are performing adjustments or maintenance after operating the snow blower, allow the unit to cool and always wear protective clothing.
CAUTION: Always wear work gloves when performing auger maintenance and beware of sharp edges. Be sure the engine is off, the key removed, and the spark plug wires are disconnected from the spark plugs to prevent inadvertent starting.

Check shear bolts (as well as other bolts) at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Do NOT use standard bolts to replace shear bolts. Severe damage or injury could occur.
Shear bolts are available for replacement through GXi Parts & Service.
