Maintenance
• PTO Shearbolt – refer to PTO assembly
• Auger Shearbolts – 5/16 x 1 1/4” Gr #2
• Auger Drive Chain Tightener – tighten chain allowing ¼” sag in the bottom span
of chain (between drive and driven sprocket).
Lubrication
• Gearbox- check oil level every 50 hours. Fill to oil level plug (middle of gearbox)
with SAE 90 gear oil. SAE 80W90 gear oil may also be used.
• Auger and Shear Sprocket Bearing – grease sparingly every 50 hours. (By using
too much grease you will push the seals off the bearing).
• PTO Shaft – grease every 10 hours. Pull apart and apply grease to the sliding
members. Grease the yoke bearings at this time as well.
• Auger Chain – apply oil on a regular basis especially after using the snowblower.
Storing the Meteor Snowblower in the off season
At the end of the season lubricate the Bearings, PTO shaft and Auger chain before
storing it.
