WARNING!
Make sure that the chute deflector snaps
and locks completely onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the chute deflector may
allow foreign objects to be picked up by the snow thrower
and thrown in the direction of the operator causing serious
boldly injury.
• Do not advance the chute deflector too far forward
causing an opening to appear between the
deflector and
discharge chute.
• Do not overtighten the knobs on the chute deflector
.
Maintenance
m
WARNING!
Make sure to turn off the switch and
disconnect the extension cord before performing any
maintenance task on your snow thrower.
Lifetime Lubrication (Motor + Auger)
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 bolts and screws 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.
4. Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush
to clean the snow thrower; never wet or spray water on
the machine!
5. Do not use detergent or solvents as these could cause
irreparable damage to the snow thrower. Chemicals can
destroy the plastic parts.
6. To protect the snow thrower from corrosion when storing
for long periods, lightly oil the metal parts.
7. Store the appliance in a dry area out of reach of children.
8. For the user's safety, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced. Replace with original replacement parts only.
Parts from another snow thrower may not fit properly,
causing an unsafe situation.
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 assembly by removing the
two sets of nut, bolt and washer located on the ends
(Figs. 20 – 21).
2. Loosen the middle two sets of nut, washer and bolt to
detach the worn rubber plate from the metal frame
(Fig. 22).
