WARNING: Before lubricating, repairing,
or inspecting, disengage all clutch levers
and stop engine. Wait until all moving
parts have come to a complete stop.
Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it
against the engine to prevent unintended
starting.
IMPORTANT: Keep all grease and oil off of the rubber
friction wheel and aluminum drive plate.
Drive and Shifting Mechanism
Lubricate at least once a season or after every 25 hours
of operation. Remove the rear cover, lubricate any
chains, sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts, and shifting
mechanism at least once a season. Use engine oil or a
spray lubricant. Avoid getting oil on the friction
wheel rubber and aluminum drive plate. Refer to
Figure 9.
Lubrication
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your
unit for all engine lubrication instructions.
There is a grease fitting on the top of the axle shaft
which drives the rear track drive wheels on both sides
of the unit. Grease these fittings every 25 hours or once
a season.
IMPORTANT: When following instructions in separate
engine manual for draining oil, be sure to protect frame
to avoid oil dripping onto transmission parts.
Traction Control / Auger Control Lock
The cams on the ends of the control rods which
interlock the traction drive and auger drive controls
must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25
hours of operation. The cams can be accessed beneath
the handle panel. Use a multi-purpose automotive
grease.
Gear Shaft
Lubricate the gear shaft with 6-n-1 grease at least once
a season or after every 25 hours of operation (available
at automotive stores, or order part number 737-0170).
