 To relieve pressure, always remove the 

vent plug before lubricating the gear case. See Figure 
14. Failure to do so could result in damage to the gear 
case seals.

The base of the discharge chute and the spirals on the 
chute crank should be lubricated at least every 25 
hours of use. Apply the lubricant under the base of the 
chute and where the spirals contact the discharge 
chute. See Figure 15.

At least once a season or after every 25 hours of 
operation, remove rear cover. Lubricate any chains, 
sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts, and the shifting 
mechanism at least once a season. Use engine oil or a 
spray lubricant. Avoid getting oil on friction wheel and 
aluminum drive plate. Refer to Figure 11. 

Lubricate the gear shaft with 6-in-1 grease (part 
number 737-0170) at least once a season, or after 
every 25 hours of operation.

 

Refer to Figure 11.

 Be careful not to allow grease to get on the 

drive plate or friction wheel.

The cams on the ends of the control rods which 
interlock the traction drive and auger drive clutches 
must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25 
hours of operation using a multi-purpose automotive 
grease. The cams can be accessed beneath the handle 
panel. See Figure 16. 

Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your 
unit for all engine lubrication instructions.

Follow the instructions below to check the condition of 
the bonded friction wheel every 25 hours of operation.

•

Remove the six self-tapping screws from the frame 
cover underneath the snow thrower.

•

Visually inspect the bonded friction wheel for 
excessive wear, cracks, or loose fit on the friction 
wheel drive hub.

•

Also engage the traction control and check if the 
friction wheel is making contact with the friction 
plate. Refer to Figure 11.

•

If it does not make contact, adjust the traction drive 
cable and recheck the friction wheel.

•

Replace bonded friction wheel if necessary. Refer 
to instructions in Service Section on Page 17.
