2.

Stop the engine by moving the throttle to the stop 
position. 

3.

Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip. 

4.

Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to 
remove any snow and ice in the chute assembly.

5.

Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on 
the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.

6.

While standing in the operator’s position (behind 
the snow thrower), engage the auger control for a 
few seconds to clear any remaining snow or ice 
from the chute assembly before continuing to clear 
snow.

 

Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow 
thrower in heavy drift conditions. 

On models so equipped, drift cutters are assembled to 
the auger housing inverted. Remove the carriage bolts 
by unthreading the hex nuts which secure them, and 
reinstall the drift cutters in their proper position before 
operating the snow thrower. See Figure 9 .

If your unit is not equipped with drift cutters, contact 
Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for 
information regarding price and availability.

Always observe safety rules when performing any 
maintenance.

•

The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover 
items that have been subjected to operator abuse 
or negligence. To receive full value from the 
warranty, operator must maintain the snow thrower 
as instructed in this manual. 

•

Some adjustments will have to be made 
periodically to maintain your unit properly. 

•

Periodically check all fasteners and make sure 
these are tight.

•

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

Avoid oil spillage on rubber friction wheel 

and aluminum drive plate.

•

Gear Shaft: Once a season, lubricate the gear 
shaft with a penetrating oil, but not grease. Refer to 
Figure 22 on page 17.

•

Gear Case: The gear case is lubricated with 
grease at the factory and does not require regular 
lubrication. However, if disassembled for any 
reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania™ 
grease (part # 737-0168). Before reassembling, 
remove old sealant and apply new sealant. 

To check the level of grease in the gear case, remove 
the vent plug on top of the gear case. You may, if 
necessary, add grease using a grease gun and the 
grease fitting on the side of the gear case.

 Do not overfill the gear case, since 

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

Always stop engine and 

disconnect spark plug wire before 
performing any maintenance or adjustments. 
Always wear safety glasses during operation 
or while performing any adjustments or 
repairs.
