3.3.8.  REAR AXLE BEARING 
1.  The left rear axle bearing requires three shots of 
general purpose grease from grease gun.  See 
Figure 3.7. 

 

NOTE: Some models are equipped with a pre-
lubricated sealed bearing and require no additional 
lubrication. 

 

2.  The right rear axle bearing is lubricated by the 
differential lubricant and requires no grease. 

 

 

 
3.3.9.  DIFFERENTIAL/CHAIN CASE - LUBRICATION 
1.  Stand rear engine rider on its rear bumper and 
check the fill/level plug, for cracks and wear. Replace 
fill/level plug if signs of  wear are visible. 
 
IMPORTANT:  If the Rear Engine Rider will be on 
its rear bumper for longer than two hours, remove 
the battery. See Section on BATTERY REMOVAL. 
 
2. To check lubricant, remove fill/level plug and 
visually inspect for lubricant on the internal parts of the 
differential.  If no lubricant is visible on the internal 
parts of the differential, add “SNAPPER Transmission” 
grease as needed.  See Figure 3.8. 

 
IMPORTANT: Overfilling of the differential with lubricant will 
cause lubricant to leak onto drive components of the Rear 
Engine Rider. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

3.  Check fill/level plug for damage. If signs of wear or 
cracks are visible, replace plug with new plug. See 
Figure 3.9. 
4.  To check lubricant in chain case, remove fill/level 
plug and look for lubricant on the internal 
components of the chain case.  If no lubricant is 
visible, add "SNAPPER Transmission” grease as 
needed.  See Figure 3.9.
