MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

SERVICES

Refer

to

the

Engine

Manual

for

lubrication

requirements

on

the

engine

powering

your

SNOW

THROWER.

Your

SNOW

THROWER

unit

has

five

(5)grease

fittings,

two

(2)

on

the

augers,

one

(1)

in

the

gearbox

housing

and

two

(2)

on

the

auger

shaft

bearings

as

shown

in

Figure

3.1.

Service

these

and

the

other

general

lube

points

as

follows:

AUGER

LUBRICATION:

ONCE

EACH

YEAR,

preferably

at

the

end

of

the

winter

season,

remove

the

two

(2)

shear

bolts,

apply

grease

to

the

fittings,

then

spin

the

auger

to

work

the

grease

out

along

the

auger

shaft.

Continue

greasing

and

spinning

augers

until

grease

appears

at

both

ends

of

each

auger

tube.

Reinstall

shear

bolts

and

nuts

after

servicing.

This

procedure

will

prevent

the

auger

shaft

from

rusting

to

the

auger

tube.

Refer

to

FIG.

3.1.

BEARING

LUBE:

ONCE

EACH

YEAR,

apply

one

or

two

shots

of

grease

from

gun

to

the

bearing

grease

fittings

located

at

the

ends

of

the

auger

shaft,

just

inside

blower

housings.

Refer

to

FIG.

3.1.

GENERAL

LUBE

POINTS:

ONCE

EACH

YEAR,

or

more

often

if

rust

hampers

operation,

spread

a

light

coating

of

grease

on

the

chute

crank

worm

and

on

the

underside

of

the

gear

ring

at

the

base

of

the

discharge

chute.

Squirt

oil

from

the

oil

can

into

the

gap

between

the

inside

of

the

discharge

chute

and

the

outside

of

the

discharge

flange

of

the

blower

housing.

Crank

chute

back

and

forth

while

oiling

to

spread

lubrication

evenly

over

both

surfaces.

Although

not

absolutely

necessary,

you

may

want

to

remove

each

wheel

at

the

end

of

the

season

and

apply

a

coating

of

grease

on

the

axle

shafts.

This

will

help

to

prevent

rust

and

allow

the

wheels

to

be

moved

more

easily

from

transport

to

traction

mode

during

the

next

season.

GEARBOX
