MAINTENANCE

V-BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 
hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts 
are not ad just able. Replace belts if they begin to slip from 
wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service 
and Adjustments section of this manual).

The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion 
and should be replaced by original equipment man u fac tur er 
(OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other 
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to 
the snow thrower.

AUGER GEAR CASE

•     The gear case was fi lled with lubricant to the proper 

level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs 
attention is if service has been performed on the gear 
case.

•      If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.

TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM

DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow 
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction 
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings 
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.

CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above com po -
nents can cause contamination of the friction 
wheel and damage to the drive system of your 
snow thrower.

ENGINE

See engine manual.

LUBRICATION

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service 
classifi cation SF-SJ. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade 
according to your expected operating temperature.

NOTE:

  Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) 

improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils 
will result in increased oil consumption when used above 
32°F.  Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid 
possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least 
once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 50 hours 
in one year.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil 
change. All oil must meet API service classifi cation SF-SJ.

•      Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.

•      Oil will drain more freely when warm.

•      Catch oil in a suitable container.

NOTE:

 The left side wheel may be removed from snow 

thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place-
 ment of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the 
frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil 
trapped inside the engine. (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS” 
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

1.    Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place 

wire where it cannot come in contact with spark plug.

2.    Clean area around drain plug.

3.    Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.

4.    Install drain plug and tighten securely.

5.    Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.

6.    Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to 

install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO 
REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments 
section of this manual).

7.    Remove oil fi ll cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt 

to enter the engine.

8.    Refi ll engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour 

slowly. Do not overfi ll. For approximate capacity see 
“PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this man u al.

9.    Use gauge on oil fi ll cap/dipstick for checking level. Be 

sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate 
reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.

10.  Wipe off any spilled oil.

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffl er as it could cre ate a 
fi re haz ard and/or dam age.

SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plug at the beginning of each season or after 
every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs fi rst.  Spark 
plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PROD UCT 
SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this manual.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT:

  For best performance, keep snow thrower 

housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your 
snow thrower after each use.

WARNING:  Disconnect spark plug wire 
from spark plug and place wire where it 
can not come in contact with spark plug.

•      Keep fi nished surfaces/wheels free of gasoline, oil, etc.

•      We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean 

your snow thrower unless the electrical system, muffl er 
and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water 
in engine can result in shortened engine life.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and 
after each fi ve (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fi ll 
cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
