7.3 WORM GEAR
The worm gear if filled with special lubricant at the factory.
Refilling is not normally required.
Loosen the plug once a year and check if the worm gear
contains lubricant (fig 12).
If it is leaking or has been repaired it must be refilled with
lubricant. The worm gear holds 92 grams of lubricant at the
most.
Use Shell Darina 1, Texaco Thermatex EP1, Mobiltem 78,
Benalene #372 Grease or similar.
7.4 HEXAGONAL SHAFT
The hexagonal shaft, chain sprocket and chains are not to be
lubricated. All bearings and bushings are permanently
lubricated and require no maintenance.
Lubricating these parts will only result in the grease getting
on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which could
damage the rubber clad friction wheel.
7.5 GENERAL ABOUT DRIVE BELTS
The drive belts should be checked and adjusted once per
season and replaced when needed. This should all be done at
an authorised service station.

8 SERVICE AND REPAIRS

No service must be carried out before:
The engine has stopped.
The ignition key has been removed.
- The starting cable has been disconnected from
the spark plug.
If the instructions say that the machine is to be lifted at the
front and rested on the auger housing then the petrol tank
must be emptied.
Empty the petrol tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Do not smoke. Empty into a container
designed for petrol.
8.1 ADJUSTING THE SCRAPER BLADE
The scraper blade gets worn after a lot of use.
Adjust the scraper blade (always together with the shoes)
The scraper blade is reversible so can be used on both sides.
8.2 ADJUSTING THE DRIVE BELTS
The drive belts should be checked (and adjusted if required)
for the first time after 2 – 4 hours use and then the middle of
each season. They should thereafter be checked twice a year.
When the belts are adjusted or changed, the control wires
must also be adjusted (see below).
8.2.1 The drive belt for driving (A in Fig. 19)
The belt has a spring-loaded tension pulley. Adjustment is
not required. If the belt slips, change it.

towards the belt (fig. 19).
3. Tighten the tension pulley nuts.
4. Check the belt tension by pressing down the auger clutch
lever. With a finger, you should be able to push the belt
about 12 - 13 mm without any great power (fig 16).
5. Repeat the above procedure if further adjustment is
required.
6. Reassemble the belt protection. See fig 14.
8.3 ADJUSTING THE BELT GUIDE
1. Remove the spark plug protection.
2. Remove the belt protective cover (1) by loosening the
screws (2). See fig. 14.
3. Activate the auger clutch lever (A in fig 7).
4. Check the distance between the belt guide and the belt.
The distance should be 3 mm. See fig 13.
5. If adjustment is required, loosen the screw to the belt
guide and set the correct distance.
6. Tighten the screw properly.
7. Reassemble the belt protection.
8. Reassemble the spark plug protection.
8.4 ADJUSTING THE CONTROL WIRES
When the belts are adjusted or replaced, the control wires
must also be adjusted (see below).
1. Unhook the wire from the clutch lever (fig. 18).
2. Push the clutch lever forward as much as possible (until
it touches the plastic protection on the handle).
3. Hold the wire stretched and note the position of the wire's
Z-shaped end.
4. When the wire is correctly adjusted its end should be
situated in the middle of the hole in the clutch lever (fig.
18).
If adjustment is required:
5. Lift the snow thrower forward and rest in on the auger
housing.
6. Push the wire through the spring so that the threaded part
is exposed (fig 17).
7. Hold the threaded part and adjust the nut up or down until
the correct setting is obtained.
8. Pull the wire through the spring again. Hook the wire into
the upper part of the clutch lever.
