Replacing Belt
WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, 
or inspecting, disengage the control 
bail and stop engine. Wait until all 
moving parts have come to a complete 
stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and 
ground it against the engine to prevent 
unintended starting.
Remove the belt cover by removing five hex screws. See 
Figure 9.  Then simply pull the belt off by grasping it from the 
bottom of the auger pulley and pulling off.  Once you remove 
the belt from the pulleys, you can push down on the idler 
pulley to release the belt from under the belt keeper.
To replace the belt follow these instructions and refer to 
Figure 10:
1.  Push down on the Idler pulley.
2.  Put belt on top of the auger pulley, under belt keeper.
3.  Thread belt around engine pulley.
4.  Push belt over bottom of auger pulley.
Reinstall the belt cover removed earlier.
Engine 
1.  Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine 
maintenance procedures.
2.  Check engine and snow thrower frequently for loose 
hardware, and tighten as needed.
Lubrication 
Lubricate pivot points on the control handle and the 
extension spring at the end of the control cable  with a 
light oil once every season and before storage of the 
snow thrower at the end of the season.
Replacing Auger Paddles
The snow thrower auger’s rubber paddles are subject to 
wear and should be replaced if any signs of excessive 
wear is present. 
IMPORTANT: Do NOT allow the auger’s rubber paddles 
to wear to the point where portions of the metal auger 
itself can come in contact with the pavement. Doing so 
can result in serious damage to your snow thrower. 
NOTE: For information regarding the price and availability 
of Auger Kit refer to customer support on page 2.
To change the rubber paddles, proceed as follows:
1.  Remove the existing rubber paddles by unscrewing the 
self-tapping screws which secure them to the auger.  
See Figure 11.
2.  Secure the replacement rubber paddles to the auger 
using the hardware removed earlier.
