Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual for all engine maintenance procedures.
Checking, adding and changing oil are also found in this manual.
Lubrication
Lubricate the pivot points on the control handle and the extension spring at the end
of the control cable with a light oil once every season and before the snow thrower
is put into storage at the end of the season.
Adjustments
Shave Plate
To check the adjustment of the shave plate, place the machine on a level surface.
The wheels, shave plate and auger paddles should all contact the level surface.
Note that if the shave plate is adjusted too high, snow may blow under the auger
housing. If the shave plate wears out excessively, or the snow thrower does not
self-propel, the shave plate may be too low to the ground and needs to be adjusted.
NOTE: On new snow throwers or machines with a new shave plate installed, the
auger paddles may be slightly off the ground.
To adjust the shave plate proceed as follows:
1. Run the snow thrower until the fuel tank is empty.
