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.
SNOW THROWER
• 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 thick
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.
