GREASE SCHEDULE
1. Grease should meet the following recommendations:
SAE Multi-purpose grease
SAE Multi-purpose grease containing 3 to 5 percent molybdenum disulfide
Below 0 degrees C (32 degrees F) use SAE (NGLI) # 0 or #1
Above 0 degrees C (32 degrees F) use SAE (NGLI) #2
2. Drive Chain
The drive chain is operating in an oil bath. Check level using a dip stick. Complete assembly contains 5
gallons of SAE #5 wt. oil. Add if necessary.
3. Universal Joint Assemblies
Apply grease to the grease nipple on the slip sleeve of the universal assembly every 5 hours of
operation.
NOTE: The snow blower may have to be raised or lowered and the safety shields rotated to fully expose
the grease nipple.
Occasionally pull the driveline halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the spline shaft.
If the universal joint sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where two
halves cannot slip freely, damage to the snow blower or tractor may occur.
4. Universal Joint Cross Kits
Every 10 hours of operation (minimum), lubricate the grease fittings on the universal joint cross kits. If
grease is seen leaking out of the cross kit bearings, it is an indication that bearings are running hot.
Under these conditions, regrease the cross kits more frequently.
Apply only one or two strokes from a hand type grease gun. If fitting are over lubricated, seals may be
damaged.
Grease to the entire under side of the chute.
STORAGE
Your snow blower represents an investment from which you should get the greatest possible benefit. There-
fore, when the season is over, the snow blower should be thoroughly checked and prepared for storage so that
a minimum amount of work will be required to put it back into operation for the next season. The following are
suggested storage procedures:
1.
Thoroughly clean the snow blower, wash any dirt or salt off the blower.
2. Remove drive chains and submerse in oil.
3. Smear grease over any exposed hydraulic cylinder shafts.
4. Check the implement for worn or damaged parts. Make replacements immediately.
5. Store the implement in a clean, dry place.
6. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the
implement.
