6.2OIL CHANGE
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of operation, and subsequently every 50 hours of operation or once a season. Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very warm if it is drained off directly after the engine is shut off. So allow the engine to cool a few minutes before draining the oil.
1.Lean the snow thrower slightly so that the oil draining plug (14 in fig. 1) is the lowest point of the engine.
2.Unscrew the oil draining plug.
3.Let the oil run out into a container.
4.Screw back the oil draining plug.
5.Fill with new oil: See BEFORE STARTING above for type and amount.

6.5TYRE PRESSURE
The air pressure should be equal in both tires for best performance. Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent entry of debris into the valve stem when tires are filled.
Recommended air pressure: 1.5 bar.
6.6LUBRICATION
No service must be carried out before:
-The engine has stopped.
-The cable has been disconnected from the spark plug.

•Lever bearings
•Drive belt tension arm
•Auger belt tension arm
6.6.2 Gearbox
No parts inside the gearbox are to be lubricated. All bearings and bushings are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance.
Lubricating these parts will only result in the grease getting on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which could damage the rubber clad friction wheel.
For long time storage the
