At least once a season, remove both wheels. Clean and coat the 

axles with a multipurpose automotive grease before reinstalling 

wheels.

Once a season, lubricate the eye bolt bushing and the spiral with 

3-in-1 oil.

At least once a season, one at a time, remove all of the shear pins 

from the  auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside the hub of each 

auger spiral assembly and around the spacers on the auger shaft. 
Grease fittings can also be found at each end of the auger shaft. 

Lubricate with a grease gun once a season. See Figure 6-2.

The auger gear case is equipped with a grease fitting. Lubricate 

with grease once a season (order part number 737-0168). See 

Figure 6-2.

NOTE: To relieve pressure, remove the vent plug before 

lubricating the gear case. See Figure 6-2. Failure to do so could 

result in damage to the gear case seals. 

Each of the auger spiral assemblies is secured to the spiral shaft 

with a shear pin and cotter pin. If the auger should strike a 

foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that 

the pins may shear.  
1. 

If augers do not turn, check to see if pins have sheared. 

2. 

Replace the pins if needed. Two replacement shear pins 

and cotter pins have been provided with the snow thrower. 

Spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins 

and securing with new cotter pins. See Figure 6-2.

Before performing any type of 

maintenance/service, disengage all controls and stop 

the engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a 

complete stop. Remove the key to prevent unintended 

starting. Always wear safety glasses during operation 

or while performing any adjustments or repairs.

Refer to the Engine Operators Manual Maintenance section 

included with the snow thrower.

At least once a season or after every 25 hours of operation, 

remove rear cover. Lubricate all chains, sprockets, gears, 

bearings, shafts, and the shifting mechanism. Use engine oil or a 

spray lubricant. Refer to Figure 6-1.
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 6-1.

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.
