IMPORTANT: Keep all grease and oil off of the

friction wheel and the drive plate.

Shifting Mechanism

• Lubricate the shifting mechanism and pivot

points on the shift rod with engine oil at least

once a season or after every 25 hours of

operation.

Traction Drive Control

• Lubricate cams on the ends of the control rods

which interlock the traction drive and auger

controls at least once a season or every 25

hours of operation with grease. The cams can be

accessed beneath the handle panel.

Gear Case

• The gear case is lubricated with grease at the

factory and does not require checking. If

disassembled for any reason, lubricate with two

ounces of Shell Alvania grease.

Bearings

• Once a season lubricate the auger bearings and

the bearings on the side of the frame with light

oil. See lube chart below.

Check V-belts

Follow the instructions below to check the condition

of the drive belts every 50 hours of operation.

• Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the

engine by removing two self-tapping screws.

• Visually inspect for frayed, cracked, or

excessively worn out belts.

Check Friction Wheel

Follow the instructions below to check the condition of

the friction wheel rubber every 25 hours of operation.

• Remove the four self-tapping screws from the

frame cover underneath the snow thrower.

• Visually inspect the friction wheel rubber for

excessive wear, cracks, or loose fit on the

friction wheel drive hub.

• Also engage traction drive control and check if

the friction wheel is making contact with the

friction plate.

• If it does not make contact, adjust the traction

drive cable following instructions page 11 and

page 20. Recheck the friction wheel.

• Replace friction wheel rubber if necessary.
