TIRES
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
•
Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14–17 P.S.I.
/ 19-24.5 N-m).
Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil
change.AlloilmustmeetAPIserviceclassificationSG–SL.
•
Keep tires free of gasoline / oil, which can harm rubber.
•
•
•
Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Catch oil in a suitable container.
NOTE:Tosealtirepuncturesandpreventflattiresduetoslow
leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
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).
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).

at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs atten-
tion is if service has been performed on the gear case.
6.
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

TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
7.
8.
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine.
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.
Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see
“PRODUCTSPECIFICATIONS”sectionofthismanual.
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.
CAUTION:Anylubricatingoftheabovecompo-
nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.
10. Wipe off any spilled oil.
