LIFETIME LUBRICATION (MOTOR AND PADDLE)
Lubrication is not necessary and may damage the unit. The snowblower is lubricated
for lifetime use at the factory before shipment.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the proper tools and
instructions for disassembly and repair of the machine.
2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure that
the equipment is in safe working condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the snowblower for a few minutes to
prevent the collector/paddle from freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all
revolving parts to stop completely, and wipe residual ice and snow off the unit.
Rotate the chute crank several times to remove any excess snow.
REPLACING THE RUBBER PLATES
NOTE:
When replacing worn rubber plates, pay close attention to carefully dis-
tinguish between the coarse and smooth side of the plates. Place the coarse side
inside and the smooth side outside.
1. Detach the worn rubber plate assembly
by removing the two sets of nuts and bolts
used to secure it to the paddle assembly
(Figs. 25-26).
2. Loosen the middle two sets of nuts and
bolts to detach the worn rubber plate from
the metal frame (Fig. 27).
