Maintenance

Lubricating the Auger Shaft

At least once a season, remove the shear bolts from the auger

shafts. Oil or spray lubricant inside and on the plastic bearings

and spacers on the shafts and near the holes where the shear

bolts were removed before reattaching them. See Figure 6-2.

WARNING: Before lubricating, repairing, or

inspecting, place tractor on a firm and level surface.

Place the PTO in the disengaged (OFF) position, set

the parking brake, shut engine off, and remove key

to prevent unintended starting.

Cleaning the Tractor

Always clear the engine and hood of snow after each use and

prior to storing.

Lubricating the Chute Directional Control

The spiral on the end of the chute crank flex shaft and the base

of the discharge chute itself should be lubed with multi-purpose

automotive grease once a season. See Figure 6-1.

Adjusting Chute Directional Control Support Bracket

If the spiral at the base of the chute crank flex shaft isn’t fully

engaging with the notches in the lower chute assembly, the

support bracket can be adjusted inward or outward as follows:

1. Loosen, but do not remove the two flange nuts which

secure the support bracket to the snow thrower housing.

See Figure 6-1.

2. Adjust the support bracket inward or outward so that the

spiral is fully engaged in the notches on the chute before

retightening the hex nuts.
