CUTTING EDGE MAINTENANCE
Verify from time to time the wearing on the cutting
edge to make sure you do not wear out the base of
the snowblower’s chassis. This cutting edge is
reversible. All you have to do is unscrew the bolts and
turn the cutting edge, reinstall and tighten the bolts
securely.
SHEAR BOLT & PIN REPLACEMENT
Fan Shear Bolt Replacement:
The fan is protected by a special shear bolt with two
grooves. If you hit a foreign object or ice, the shear bolt
is designed to break in two upon absorbing impact. The
fan will stop turning. This is to avoid damage to the fan
or to the snowblower. Replace only with original part (for
identification, see parts list: "Snowblower"). The use of
any other bolt may void the warranty. Accessible by
removing the belt guard.
Auger Shear Pin Replacement:
The auger is protected by a special nylon shear pin. If
you hit a foreign object or ice, the shear pin is designed
to break in two upon absorbing impact. The auger will
stop turning. This is to avoid damage to the auger or the
snowblower. Replace only with original parts (for
identification, see parts list: "Snowblower"). The use of
any other pin may void the warranty. Accessible by
removing the belt guard.
END OF SEASON STORAGE
a) Clean snowblower and subframe thoroughly and
repaint all parts from which paint has worn.
b) List the replacement parts that will be needed for the
next season.
c) Store the snowblower and the subframe in a dry
place.

MAINTENANCE
a) Check mounting bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness in order to prevent costly repairs.
Make sure your attachment is in safe working
condition.
b) Provide adequate blocking before working under
attachment when in raised position.
ADJUSTMENTS
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT:
Level Paved Surface: Adjust skid shoes to obtain 3/16"
to 1/4" clearance between cutting edge and surface.
Uneven or Gravel Surface: Adjust skid shoes to obtain
1/2" to 5/8" clearance between cutting edge and
surface.
CHAIN ADJUSTMENT:
Auger drive chain: Loosen the 3/8" x 2 1/2" hex bolt (see
Parts Breakdown, Snowblower) on snowblower’s right
side, and set chain tension leaving 1/2" deflection in
chain span. Retighten hex bolt securely.
LUBRICATION
Apply oil at all pivot points.
Drive Chains: Lubricate with chain saw chain lubricant
every four hours of operation and at the end of each
operation.
Chute Rotation System: Oil chute base, rotation worm
every eight hours of operation.
