MAINTENANCE
AUGER GEAR CASE
•
•
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Catch oil in a suitable container.
•
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.
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).
•
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1
grease.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
1.
Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come
in contact with spark plug.
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.
2. Clean area around drain plug.

4.
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
Install drain plug and tighten securely.

nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.

Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to
install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO

Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate
reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.
