and stop engine. Wait until all moving
parts have come to a complete stop.

Lubrication
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your
unit for all engine lubrication instructions.
IMPORTANT:
  When following instructions in separate 
engine manual for draining oil, be sure to protect frame 
to avoid oil dripping onto transmission parts.
Electric Chute-Rotation Motor

base of the discharge chute itself should be lubed with 
multi-purpose automotive grease once a season.
See Figure 10.

Gear Case
The gear case is equipped with a grease fitting on the 
left housing and should be lubricated every 25 hours. 
See Figure 11.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overfill the gear case. Damage to 
the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is free of 
grease in order to relieve pressure.
Auger Shaft
At least once a season, remove the shear bolts on the 
auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside the shaft. Also
