Lubrication
Drive and Shifting Mechanism
At least once a season or after every 25 hours of opera-
tion, 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. 
Refer to Figure 20.
IMPORTANT: Keep all grease and oil off the rubber 
friction wheel and drive plate.
Wheels
At least once a season, remove both wheels. Clean and 
coat the axles with a multipurpose automotive grease 
before reinstalling wheels.
Auger Shaft
At least once a season, remove the shear pins on auger 
shaft. Spray lubricant inside shaft, around the spacers. 
Also lubricate the flange bearings found at either end of 
the shaft. See Figure 21. 
Augers
•  The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with shear 
pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike a 
foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed 
so that the pins may shear. See Figure 21.
•  If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have 
sheared. One set of replacement shear pins has been 
provided with the snow thrower. When replacing pins, 
spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new 
pins.
Shave Plate and Skid Shoes
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:
1.  Remove the carriage bolts (and washers if 
equipped)and hex flange nuts which secure the skid 
shoes to the snow thrower. 
2.  Reassemble new skid shoes with previously removed 
hardware. Refer to Figure 22.
To remove shave plate:
1.  Remove the carriage bolts and hex nuts which attach 
it and the skid shoes to the snow thrower housing. 
2.  Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of 
carriage bolts are to the inside of housing. Tighten 
securely.
