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.

wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come

DO NOT lubricate the drive components  inside the snow

wheel require no lubrication.  The bearings and bushings
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.
