Auger Shaft: At least once a season, remove the 
shear pins from the auger shaft and spray lubricant 
inside the shaft. See Figure 12. Grease fittings can 
be found at either end of the auger shaft. Lubricate 
with a grease gun once a season.
Wheels: Once a season, remove the bolt from 
each wheel and take the wheel off the axle. Apply a 
multipurpose automotive grease on the axle shaft 
before putting back the wheels. 
Shift Rod: Use a grease or light oil to lubricate the 
rotating parts of the shift rod after 25 hours of 
operation.
Pivot Points: All pivoting points on the snow 
thrower should be lubricated with a light oil once a 
season.
Drive/Auger Control Lock: The cam on the ends 
of the control rods which interlock the drive and 
auger controls 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.

Check V-Belts 
Follow instructions below to check the condition of the 
drive belts every 50 hours of operation.
1.
Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the 
engine by removing two self-tapping screws.
2.
Visually inspect for frayed, cracked, or excessively 
worn out belts. Replace, if necessary, following 
instructions on page 14.
Check Friction Wheel 
Follow instructions below to check the condition of the 
friction wheel rubber every 50 hours of operation.
1.
Remove the self-tapping screws from the frame 
cover underneath the snow thrower. Refer to 
Figure 15
2.
Visually inspect the friction wheel rubber for 
excessive wear, cracks, or loose fit on the friction 
wheel drive hub.
3.
Also engage the drive control and check if the 
friction wheel is making contact with drive plate. If it 
does not make contact, adjust the drive cable (refer 
to page17) and recheck the friction wheel.
4.
Replace friction wheel rubber if necessary. Refer to 
instructions on page 16.
5.
Re-attach frame cover to the snow thrower and put 
the equipment back to operating position.
Check Chute Cables
Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, 
whichever is earlier, check whether the chute cables 
have slackened. Adjust if necessary, following 
instructions on page 18.
Checking Oil Level
Before operating snow thrower, check the oil level by 
following steps below. 
NOTE:  Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30
etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-
viscosity oils also result in higher oil consumption when
used above 32
o
F. Check your snow thrower’s engine oil
level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage
from running low on oil.
1.
With engine on level ground, oil must be to FULL 
mark on dipstick. See Figure 11 .
2.
Stop engine and wait several minutes before 
checking oil level. Remove oil fill cap and dipstick.
3.
Wipe dipstick clean, insert it into oil fill hole and 
tighten securely.
4.
Remove dipstick and check. If oil is not up to the 
FULL mark on dipstick, add oil.
