LUBRICATION
• Hex Shaft and Gears - Hex shaft and
gears require no lubrication. All bearings
and bushings are lifetime lubricated and
require no maintenance,
NOTE: Any greasing or oiling ofthe above
componentscan cause contamination of
the frictionwheel. If the disc drive plate or
friction wheel comes in contact with grease
or oil, damage to the friction wheel will re-
suit.
Should grease or oilcome incontact with
the disc drive plate or friction wheel, be sure
to clean the plate and wheel thoroughly.
NOTE: For storage, the hex shaft and
gears should be wiped with 5W-30 motoroil
to prevent rusting, See figure above.
• Auger Gear Box - The auger gear box
has been factory lubricatedfor life. If for
some reason lubricant should leak out,
have augdrgear c_isechecked by a com-
petent repairman.

OIL RECOMMENDATION
Only use high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SG. Select
the oil'sviscositygrade according to your
expected operating temperature:
NOTE: Forextreme cold operating condi-
tionsof 0° and below, use a partial synthetic
0W30 motoroilfor easier starting.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils improve
starting in coldweather, these multi-viscosity
oils willresultin increased oilconsumption
when used above 32°F. Check your engine
oillevel more frequentlyto avoid possible
engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil every 25 hours and at the
beginning of each season.
• Positionthe snow thrower so that the oil
drain plug isat the lowest point on the en-
gine. Remove the oil drain plug and the oil
fill cap/dipstick. Drain the oilinto a suit-
able container. Oil willdrain more freely
when warm.
• Replace the oil drain plug and tighten se-
curely.
SPARK PLUG
• Make sure that the spark plug is tightened
securely intothe engine and the spark
plug wire is attached to the spark plug.
• If a torque wrench is available, torque
plug to 18 to 23 foot pounds.
• Clean the area around the spark plug
base before removal to prevent dirtfrom
entering the engine.
• Clean the spark plug and reset the gap
periodicallyat .030 inch.
