MAINTENANCE
25
MTF − 051059L
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your snowthrower.
All adjustments in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual
should be checked at least once each season.
SNOWTHROWER
The following adjustment should be performed more than
once each season.
Auger and Traction Drive Belts should be adjusted after the
first 2 to 4 hours of use, again about mid − season and twice
each season thereafter (See To Adjust Belts paragraph in the
MAINTENANCE section).
AS REQUIRED
Auger Gear Box
The auger gear box is lubricated at the factory and should not
require additional lubrication.
If for some reason the lubricant should leak out, or if the auger
gear box has been serviced, add Lubriplate GR132 Grease
or “Deere Multi − Purpose Lithium Grease”. Maximum 3 − 1/4
ounces, (92 grams) should be used.
Remove filler plug D (Figure 24 and Figure 25), once a year.
If grease is visible, do not add. If grease is not visible, use a
piece of fine wire, like a dipstick to check if there is grease in
the gear box. Mobilux EP1 and Shell Aldania EP1 are
suitable equivalents.

LUBRICATION

All bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require
no maintenance.
LUBRICATION − EVERY 10 HOURS

auger shaft zerk fittings (A) every ten (10) operating
hours. Each time a shear bolt is replaced, the auger shaft
MUST be greased (Figure 24). (See To Replace Auger
Shear Bolt in the MAINTENANCE section).
2. For storage or when replacing shear bolts, remove shear
bolts and lubricate auger shaft zerks. Rotate augers sev-
eral times on the shaft and reinstall the shear bolts.
