• Drive Mechanism: Once a season or after every 25 hours of operation, remove rear frame cover and lubricate any chains, sprockets, gears, bearin gs, and shafts with engine oil or lubricant spray.

IMPORTANT:

Avoid oil spillage on rubber friction wheel

and aluminum drive plate.

• Hex Shaft: Once a season, lubricate the hex shaft with a penetrating oil, but not grease,

• Gear Case: The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory and does n ot require regula r lubrication. However, if disassembled for any reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania™ grease (part # 737-0168). Before reassembli ng, remove old sealant and apply new sealant.

IMPORTANT:

damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.

• Wheels: Once a season, r emove the bolt fr om each wheel and take the wheel off the axle. Apply a multipurpose automotive grease on the shaft before putting back the wheels.

• Shift Rod: Use a grease or light oil to lubr icate the rotating parts of the shift rod after 25 hours o f operation.

• Pivot Points: All pivoting points on the snowthrower should be lubricated with a light oil once a season. If the unit is equipped with grease fittings, use a grease gun to lubricate these.

• Drive/Auger Control Lock: The cam on the ends of the control rods which interlock the traction drive and auger drive clutches must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25 hours of operation using a multi-purpose automotive grease. The cam can be accessed beneath the handle panel

Do not overfill the gear case, since
