Do not overfill the gear case. Damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.

SECTION 8: SERVICE

WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

Engine

Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit for all engine related maintenance procedures.

Shave Plate and Skid Shoes

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary. To remove the skid shoes, proceed as follows:

• Remove the six carriage bolts, bell washers and hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower.

• Reassemble new skid shoes with the six carriage bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes against skid shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.

To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, belleville washers and hex nuts which attach it to the snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely.

Belt Removal And Replacement

WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Drain fuel into an approved container or place a piece of plastic film underneath the gas cap to prevent gasoline from leaking.

Auger Belt

• Remove the plastic belt cover by removing the two self-tapping screws. See Figure 17.

• Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower.

• Tip the snow thrower forward so that it rests on its auger housing and remove six self-tapping screws from the frame cover underneath the snow thrower.

• Roll the belt off the engine pulley. See Figure 18.

• Unhook the idler spring from the hex bolt on the auger housing. See Figure 19.

• Follow the first four steps of the instructions for servicing the auger belt.

• Pull idler pulley up, and lift belt off engine pulley and friction wheel disc. See Figure 18.

• Back out the stop bolt until the support bracket rests on the auger pulley. See Figure 20.

• Slip belt between friction wheel and friction wheel disc. See Figure 20. Remove and replace belt.

• Reassemble following the instructions in reverse order.

NOTE: The support bracket must rest on the stop bolt

after the new belt has been assembled. See Figure 20.

Servicing Friction Wheel Rubber

WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Drain fuel into an approved container or place a piece of plastic film underneath the gas cap to prevent gasoline from leaking.

The rubber on the friction wheel is subject to wear and should be checked after 25 hours of operation, and periodically thereafter. Replace the friction wheel rubber if any signs of wear or cracking are found.

• Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower.

NOTE: Snow thrower shown resting on its

auger housing. Wheels not shown for clarity.

Figure 21

• Lightly tap the hex nut to dislodge the ball bearing from the right side of frame before removing the hex nut and bell washer from left end of shaft.

• Move the gear shaft to the right and slide the friction wheel assembly from the shaft.

• Remove the six screws from the friction wheel assembly (three from each side). Remove the friction wheel rubber from between the friction wheel plates. See Figure 22.

• Position the friction wheel assembly up onto the pin of the shift rod assembly, and slide the shaft through the assembly. Reassemble in reverse order.

Augers

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. Refer to Figure 14. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts may shear. If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared.

IMPORTANT:

NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be covered by your snow throwers warranty.

Off-season Storage

WARNING: Never store the machine or fuel container indoors where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as follows:

• Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine.

• Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to lack of fuel.

• Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover.

WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from open flame.

Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for extended period deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach carburetor. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

• Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.

• Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

• Follow lubrication recommendations on page 11.

NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables.
