There is a grease fitting on the top of the axle shaft 
which drives the rear track drive wheels on both sides 
of the unit. Grease these fittings every 25 hours or once 
a season.
Traction Control / Auger Control Lock
The cams on the ends of the control rods which 
interlock the traction drive and auger drive controls 
must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25 
hours of operation. The cams can be accessed beneath 
the handle panel. Use a multi-purpose automotive 
grease.
SECTION 7:  SERVICING YOUR SNOW THROWER
WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or
inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and
stop engine. Wait until all moving parts
have come to a complete stop. Disconnect
spark plug wire and ground it against the
engine to prevent unintended starting.
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your 
unit for all engine maintenance procedures.
Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two 
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a hard 
foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is 
designed so that the bolts may shear.
Refer to  Figure 11.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts 
have sheared. Replacement shear bolts and hex 
lock nuts have been provided with the snow 
thrower. When replacing bolts, spray an oil 
lubricant into shaft before inserting new bolts.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with 
standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox 
or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be 
covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.
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 the skid shoes, proceed as follows:
Remove the six carriage bolts, bell washers, and 
hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower.
Reassemble new skid shoes with the six carriage 
bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes against skid 
shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes 
are adjusted to be level.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, bell 
washers, and hex nuts which attach it to the snow 
thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making 
sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the 
housing. Tighten securely.
Belt Removal And Replacement
Auger Belts
Remove the plastic belt cover at the front of the 
engine by removing the two self-tapping screws. 
See Figure 12.
Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower, or place 
a piece of plastic film under the gas cap.
Tip the snow thrower up and forward so that it rests 
on its auger housing.
Figure 12
Remove the six self-tapping screws from the frame 
cover underneath the snow thrower.
Roll the front and rear auger belts off the auger 
drive pulley. See Figure 13.
Unhook the idler spring from the hex bolt on the 
auger housing. See Figure 13.
Back out the stop bolt until the support bracket 
rests on the auger pulley.
NOTE: Loosening the six nuts that connect the frame to
the auger housing may aid in belt removal.
Lift the rear auger belt from the auger pulley, and 
slip the belt between the support bracket and the 
auger pulley. Repeat this step for the front auger 
belt.
Replace both auger drive belts by following 
instructions in reverse order.
If you placed plastic film under the gas cap, be 
certain to remove it before operating the snow 
thrower
