Should excessive vibration develop, check, your fan and fan shaft immediately. Do not operate the machine with a bent fan or
shaft. ..' .:. ':"""~~l. ~"" '
The machine is pre-lubricated at the factory. However, lubrication with each usage will prolong life of working parts.
5.
If you are going to store your SNOW TH ROWER for any length of time (30 days or longer) it is important that the following
stepsbe taken, ...;
Should unusual vibration develop in transmission, remove rubber panel in rear cover and check rubber drive disc condition. For
reference see page 11.
The belt tension is adjustable. The tensioning of belt should be checked every 5-10 hours of operation. Refer to adjustments
section for re-setting.
To prevent recoil freezing, when snow thrower is to be stored outside or in sub-freezing shelter, pull recoil rope out 6" to 12"
and tie knot in rope or fasten handle to keep rope from re-winding. This procedure will set inner parts in position for starting.
Just as your automobile net:ds professional mechanical maintenance from time to time, so does your air-cooled engine. A yearly
tune-up and check by a qualified service center is recommended to avoid breakdowns and unnecessary delays during the snow
throwing season.
