3. 

Slide the shave plate out of the off-set slot at the bottom 
of the housing, and from between the skid shoes and side 
panels of the housing.

4. 

With the mounting holes facing toward the back of the 
unit, slide the new shave plate into position and secure 
with the fasteners previously removed and loosened.

The gear (hex) shaft should be lubricated at least once a season 
or after every twenty-five (25) hours of operation.
NOTE: Before tipping the unit on the front housing, run the fuel 
tank empty so fuel does not leak out of the fuel cap.
1. 

Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so that it 
rests on the auger housing. 

2. 

Remove the frame cover from the underside of the snow 
thrower by removing the self-tapping screws which secure 
it. Refer to Figure 6-6.

3. 

Apply a light coating of engine oil (or 3-in-1 oil) to the hex 
shaft. See Figure 6-2.

NOTE: When lubricating the hex shaft, be careful not to get any 
oil on the aluminum drive plate or the rubber friction wheel. 
Doing so will hinder the snow thrower’s drive system. Wipe off 
any excess or spilled oil.

4. 

At least once a season grease the wheel axle with Arctic 
grease, part number 737-0318. The grease fitting is located 
on the wheel axle tube behind the wheel axle support 
bracket.

At least once a season, remove both wheels. Clean and coat the 
axles with a multipurpose automotive grease before reinstalling 
wheels.

Before servicing, repairing, lubricating, 

or inspecting, disengage all controls and stop 
engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a 
complete stop. Remove the ignition key, disconnect 
the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine 
to prevent unintended starting. Always wear safety 
glasses during operation or while performing any 
adjustments or repairs.

Refer to the Engine Operators Manual Maintenance  included 
with the snow thrower.

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow 
thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically 
and replaced when necessary.
NOTE: The skid shoes on this machine have two wear edges. When 
one side wears out, they can be rotated 180° to use the other edge. 
To Replace skid shoes:
1. 

Remove the six carriage bolts and flange lock nuts that 
secure the two skid shoes to the sides of the auger housing. 
Refer to Figure 6-1.

2. 

Position the new skid shoes and secure with the carriage 
bolts and flange lock nuts previously removed. Make certain 
the skid shoes are adjusted to be level. Refer to Figure 6-1.

To replace shave plate:
1. 

Remove the carriage bolts and flange lock nuts that 
secure the shave plate to the bottom of the snow thrower 
housing.

2. 

Remove the rear most carriage bolt and flange lock nut 
securing the back of each skid shoe to the sides of the 
housing. Loosen the remaining hex nuts securing the skid 
shoes.
