MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as instructed in this manual. Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.
MAINTENANCE AUGER GEAR CASE • The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs attention is if service has been performed on the gear case. • If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease. • Oil will drain more freely when warm. • Catch oil in a suitable container. NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and placement of a suitable container.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: To avoid serious injury, before performing any service or adjustments: 1. Be sure throttle is in STOP position. 2. Remove safety ignition key. 3. Make sure the augers and all moving parts have completely stopped. 4. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot contact plug. SNOW THROWER TO ADJUST SNOW THROWER HEIGHT See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” and “SCRAPER BAR” in the Operation section of this manual.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: Belt replacement requires separation of the snow thrower. While separating the auger housing from the frame assembly, it is important that an assistant stand in the operating position and hold the snow thrower handles. Serious personal injury and/or damage to the unit could occur if the snow thrower should fall during the belt changing process. FRAME ASSEMBLY AUGER HOUSING 12. Install the two (2) hex bolts and lock washers and tighten securely. 13.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS ENGINE SPEED Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.
