General Maintenance Tips
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which
can result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATING THE MACHINE
All the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the
life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further bearing lubrication is
required.
TIRE INFLATION
Before each use of your Snow Thrower, check the tire pressure. The pressure in each tire should be in
the range of 20-24 psi for the best performance. The pressure can be checked using an ordinary tire
pressure gauge. Fill the tires using a small or pressure regulated air compressor.
WARNING! DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE TIRES. Over-inflating could cause a tire to
burst and cause severe bodily injury.
SHAVE PLATE REPLACEMENT
Remove both skid shoes and hardware including carriage bolts and nuts which attach shave plate to
snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the
inside of the auger housing.
AUGER OR IMPELLER JAMS
WARNING! The auger and impeller rotate at fast speeds which can cause harm or even amputation
to a person's body parts. Even if you do not see the auger or impeller rotating, it may start at any time
if the machine is running. Remove the Safety Key before cleaning the jams.The chute clean-out tool is
fastened to the upper tube with mounting clips.
1. Always turn OFF the machine before attempting to clear any clogs or jams.
2. Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts while the machine is running.
3. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that can become entangled in rotating parts.
4. Wait until the auger and impeller have come to a full stop.
5. Clear any visible jams using the clean out tool attached to your machine.
WARNING! DO NOT try to clear jams with your hands or feet.
AUGER SHEAR PINS REPLACEMENT
Shear pins are used to attach the auger shaft to the auger blades. Stop the machine by removing the
safety key. A clog or jam in the augers may cause one or multiple shear pins to break. The shear pins
are a safety mechanism and designed to break under high load or impact and protect the auger drive
system from damage.
Replacement shear pins and nylon lock nuts are provided with your snow
thrower.
