than OEM belts  can cause personal injury or  damage to
the snow thrower.
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).
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.

Install drain plug and tighten securely.
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.
5.   Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
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

IMPORTANT:  For best performance, keep snow thrower
housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your
snow thrower after each use.

improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F.
Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
