LUBRICATION
NOTE:
Failure to comply with sug-
gested maintenance and lubrication
specifications will void warranty.
WHEELS
Oil or spray lubricant into bearings at
wheels at least once a season. Remove
wheels, clean and coat axles with a
multi-purpose automotive grease. See Fig-
ure 22.
CHUTE CRANK WORM
The worm gear on the chute direction
crank should be greased with multi-pur-
pose automotive grease.
GEAR BOX
The worm gear box has been filled with
grease at the factory. If disassembled for
any reason, lubricate with 1.5 ounces of
Shell Alvania grease EPR00, part number
737-0168. Before reassembling remove
old sealant and apply “Loctite 5699" or
equivalent.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the gear box,
damage to the seals could result. Be
sure the vent plug is free of grease in
order to relieve pressure.
DRIVE AND SHIFTING MECHANISM
Remove rear cover. Oil any chains,
sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts, and
shifting mechanism at least once a sea-
son. Use engine oil or a spray lubricant.
Avoid getting oil on rubber friction wheel
and aluminum drive plate.
AUGER SHAFT
Remove auger bolts on auger shaft. Oil or
spray lubricant inside shaft. See Figure
24.
ENGINE
Refer to engine manual for engine lubrica-
tion instructions.
WARNING: When following in-
structions in separate engine
manual for draining oil, be sure to
protect frame to avoid oil dripping
onto transmission parts.
GEAR SHAFT
Lubricate the gear (hex) shaft with a light
weight cold weather lubricant at lease
once a season or after every 25 hours of
operation.
IMPORTANT:
Keep all grease and oil off
of the rubber friction wheel and aluminum
drive plate.
If for any reason your transmission was
disassembled and the drive cable discon-
nected, make sure when reassembling to
pass the cable between the drive shaft
and the gear shaft before reconnecting to
support bracket. See Figure 23.
Models with 13” and 15” wheels:
Pass the drive cable between the drive
shaft and the gear shaft.
