SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Service
NOTE: If equipped with cordless battery start, remove battery
before performing service. See Installing/Removing The Battery
Pack on page 18.
CONTINUOUS TRACKS
The snow blower is equipped with an auto-tensioner on both the
left and right sides. The system is designed to maintain constant
tension on both tracks. However, if the snow blower fails to
propel itself because the track wheel is “jumping” drive lugs,
the tracks are too loose and are in need of adjustment. See an
authorized Service Dealer to have the tracks properly adjusted.
(Figure 76).

To remove and replace auger belt, proceed as follows:
1. Allow engine to run until it is out of fuel. Do not attempt to
drain fuel from engine. Remove safety key or disconnect
spark plug wire.
2. Remove plastic belt cover on front of engine by removing two
self-tapping screws (a) (Figure 77).

lubricant on aluminum drive plate or rubber friction wheel.
Doing so will affect the drive system. Wipe off any excess or
spilled lubricant.

(b) from auger shaft(s). Spray lubricant inside shaft and around
spacers and flange bearings found at either end of shaft(s)
(Figure 75).
