NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
SNOW THROWER
Always observe the safety rules when performing any
maintenance.

•
Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (See“PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS” section in this manual).
Checkthecrankcaseoillevelbeforestarting theengineand
after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fill
cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
•
Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm
rubber.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to
slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and
corrosion.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Catch oil in a suitable container.
V-BELTS
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50
hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts
are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from
wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service
and Adjustments section of this manual).
NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow
thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place-
ment of a suitable container.The unit tilted, resting on the
frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil
trapped inside the engine. (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS”
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place
wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2.
Clean area around drain plug.
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.
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
4.

6.
Install drain plug and tighten securely.
Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil).Be sure to
install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO
REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
•
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1
grease.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.
7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine.
8.
Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see
“PRODUCTSPECIFICATIONS”sectionofthismanual.
CAUTION:Anylubricatingoftheabovecompo-
nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.
9.
Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be
sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate
reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.
