Slide the shave plate out of the off-set slot at the bottom 3.
of the housing, and from between the skid shoes and side
panels of the housing.
With the mounting holes facing toward the back of the 4.

with the fasteners removed previously.
Lubrication
Gear Shaft
The gear (hex) shaft should be lubricated at least once a season
or after every twenty-five (25) hours of operation.
Carefully pivot the snow thrower up and forward so that it 1.
rests on the auger housing.
NOTE: Before tipping the unit on the front housing, run the fuel
tank empty so fuel does not leak out of the fuel cap.
Remove the frame cover from the underside of the snow 2.
thrower by removing four self-tapping screws which secure
it. Refer to Figure 6-6.
Apply a light coating of engine oil (or 3-in-1 oil) to the hex 3.
shaft. See Fig. 6-2.
NOTE: When lubricating the hex shaft, be careful not to get any
oil on the aluminum drive plate or the rubber friction wheel.
Doing so will hinder the snow thrower’s drive system. Wipe off
any excess or spilled oil.
Wheels
At least once a season, remove both wheels. Clean and coat the
axles with a multipurpose automotive grease before reinstalling
wheels.
Chute Directional Control
Once a season, lubricate the eye-bolt bushing and the spiral with
3-in-1 oil.
Maintenance
WARNING! Before servicing, repairing, lubricating,
or inspecting, disengage all controls and stop
engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a
complete stop. Remove the key, disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to
prevent unintended starting. Always wear safety
glasses during operation or while performing any
adjustments or repairs.
Engine
Refer to the Engine Maintenance section.
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.
NOTE: The skid shoes on this machine have two wear edges. When
one side wears out, they can be rotated 180° to use the other edge.
To Replace skid shoes:
Remove the six carriage bolts, hex nuts, and bell washers 1.
that secure the two skid shoes to the sides of the auger
housing. Refer to Fig. 6-1.
Position the new skid shoes and secure with the carriage bolts, 2.
bell washers, and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes are
adjusted to be level. Refer to Fig. 6-1.
To replace shave plate:
Remove the hex nuts, bell washers, and carriage bolts that 1.
secure the shave plate to the bottom of the snow thrower
housing.
Remove the rear most hex nut, bell washer, and carriage 2.
bolt securing the back of each skid shoe to the sides of the
housing. Loosen the remaining hex nuts securing the skid
shoes.
