Refer to the Engine Maintenance section.

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow 

thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically 

and replaced when necessary.
To remove skid shoes:

Remove the four carriage bolts and hex flange nuts which 

secure them to the snow thrower.
Reassemble new skid shoes with the four carriage bolts 

(two on each side) and hex flange nuts. Refer to Fig. 6-1.

To remove shave plate:

Remove the carriage bolts and hex nuts which attach it to 

the snow thrower housing.
Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of 

carriage bolts are to the inside of housing. Tighten 

securely.

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure to 

between 15 psi and 20 psi. 
If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull to 

one side or the other.

The gear (hex) shaft should be lubricated at least once a season 

or after every twenty-five (25) hours of operation.

Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so that it 

rests on the auger housing. 
Remove the frame cover from the underside of the snow 

thrower by removing four self-tapping screws which secure 

it. Refer to Fig 7-3.
Apply a light coating of engine oil (or 3-in-1 oil) to the hex 

shaft. See Fig. 6-2.
NOTE: When lubrication 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.

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.
