LIFETIME LUBRICATION (MOTOR AND
Lubrication is not necessary and may damage
the unit. The snowblower 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
snowblower for a few minutes to prevent
the collector/paddle 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 assembly
by removing the two sets of nuts and bolts
used to secure it to the paddle assembly
(Figs. 25-26).
