Lower Chute Crank
Support Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the base of the lower chute crank 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 hex nuts 
which secure the support bracket to the snow 
thrower housing. See Figure 22.
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.

SECTION 8: LUBRICATION
Auger Shaft
• At least once a season, remove the shear bolts on 
the auger shaft. Oil or spray lubricant inside and on 
the plastic bearings on the shaft and near the holes 
where the shear bolts were removed before 
reattaching them. See Figure 23.

Chute Directional Control
• The spiral on the end of the lower chute crank, the 
base of the discharge chute itself and the joint 
blocks which connect the lower and upper chute 
cranks should be lubed with multi-purpose 
automotive grease once a season. See Figure 24.
