WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable, which could
cause burns or fire that result in death or serious injury.
• When performing maintenance that requires the unit to
be tipped, the fuel tank must be empty or fuel can leak
out and result in a fire or explosion.
3. Lift the snowthrower up on the auger housing end.
Note: When you fill the crankcase with oil, do not let the
snowthrower stand on the auger housing for an extended
period of time.
4. Remove the screws (A, Figure 21) and bottom panel (B).

5. Apply a very thin layer of 50 weight synthetic motor oil to
the hex shaft (C, Figure 22). Do this before storage and at
the start of each season.
NOTICE
Do not let grease or oil touch the rubber friction
wheel or the disc drive plate. If grease or oil touches the
friction wheel, replace it. Do not attempt to clean it. If grease
or oil touches the disc drive plate, clean it fully with an
alcohol based solvent.
6. Lightly, lubricate the sprocket (D) and chain (E) with
motor oil, before storage and at the start of each season.

Adjusting the Auger and Traction
Control Cables
DANGER
The snowthrower contains a rotating auger and impeller that
throws snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become caught in
the auger or impeller and result in traumatic amputation or
severe laceration.
• Over-tightening the auger and impeller cable can cause
the auger and impeller to rotate when the auger control
is disengaged.
• Over-tightening the traction cable can cause drive to
engage when the traction control is disengaged.
1. STOP the engine and remove the key.
2. Loosen the jam nut (A, Figure 23).
3. Hold the control cable (B).
4. Turn the collar (C) to release tension. DO NOT tighten the
collar too much.
5. Tighten the jam nut.
