MAINTENANCE
Refer to parts breakdown section for parts
identification.
WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Stop the motor.
Apply parking brake.
Remove the ignition key.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) and
keep away from spark plug(s) to prevent accidental
starting.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
-
Check mounting bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness in order to prevent costly repairs.
-Make sure your snowblower is in safe working
condition.
-Provide adequate blocking before working under
snowblower when in raised position.
AUGERS AND FAN SHEAR BOLT
REPLACEMENT
Shear bolts are to be considered a preventive
measure and not an assured protection. Operator
vigilance is required. Thoroughly inspect the areas
where the snowblower is to be used and remove all
foreign objects.
To avoid damage to the snowblower:
Use only the original shear bolts (grooved bolts).
#104000 in bags of 10 for the augers.
#103999 in bags of 10 for the fan.
The use of any other shear bolt will not insure any
protection and may void the warranty.
IMPORTANT
:
IT
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REPLACE
THE AUGERS IN THE SAME POSITION AS SHOWN
IN THE DRAWING BEFORE INSTALLING THE
SHEAR BOLTS.
MAINTENANCE
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT:
LEVEL PAVED SURFACE: Adjust skid shoes to allow
3/16" to 1/4" or 5mm to 7mm clearance (A) between
cutting edge and surface.
UNEVEN OR GRAVEL SURFACE: Adjust skid shoes
to allow 1/2" to 5/8" or 13mm to 16mm clearance (A)
between cutting edge and surface.
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.
SNOWBLOWER PULLEY REPLACEMENT
or ALIGNMENT:
Clean the parts before aligning or replacing the pulley.
Apply some "Loctite" 2760 on the key and the set
screws. Tighten firmly. (Use heat to soften the "loctite’’
when removing the set screws).
LUBRICATION
Grease the wheel axles, the fork pivots after every
sixteen hours of use.
Apply oil at all pivot points.
Chute Rotation System: Oil chute base, rotation worm
every sixteen hours of operation.
Gear box:
Check the oil annually. If necessary, add AGMA 5 EP or
SAE 90 oil.
The gear box should have a total of 155 ml of oil or filled
to the rim of the bolt hole when installed on the
snowblower. (see figure)
