ake sure to turn off the switch and disconnect the
extension cord before performing any maintenance
task on your snow thrower.
Lifetime Lubrication
Lubrication is not necessary and may damage the unit. The
snow thrower is lubricated for lifetime use at the factory
before shipment.
General Maintenance Tips
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the
proper tools and instructions for disassembly and repair
of the machine.
2. Check the shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe
working condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the snow thrower
for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from
freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts to
stop completely, and wipe residual ice and snow off the
unit. Rotate the chute crank several times to remove any
excess snow.
Replacing the Rubber Plates
Note:
When replacing worn rubber plates, pay close attention to
carefully distinguish between the coarse and smooth side of the
plates. Place the coarse side inside and the smooth side outside.
1. Detach the worn rubber plate by removing the two sets
of nuts, bolts, and washers used to secure it.
2. Install the new rubber plate so that the coarse side faces
inward and the smooth side faces outward (Figs. 27-29).
3. Insert the bolt with the small flat washer into the corresponding
holes on each end of the rubber plate. Use the large flat
washer and locknut to secure the bolt on each end. Install
the other rubber plates in the same way (Figs. 27-29).
