Auger Shaft
At least once a season, one at a time, remove the shear pins from
the auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside the hub of each auger
spiral assembly and around the spacers on the auger shaft. See
Fig. 6-3.
Grease fittings can also be found at each end of the auger shaft.
Lubricate with a grease gun once a season. See Fig. 6-3.
Shear Pins
Bow-Tie Pins
Gear Case
The auger gear case is equipped with a grease fitting. Lubricate
with Shell Alvania lead-free grease once a season (order part
number 737-0168). See Fig. 6-3.
NOTE: To relieve pressure, remove the vent plug before
lubricating the gear case. See Fig. 6-3. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the gear case seals.
Augers
Each of the four auger spiral assemblies is secured to the spiral
shaft with a shear pin and cotter pin. If the auger should strike a
foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that
the pins may shear.
1.
If augers do not turn, check to see if pins have sheared.
2.
Replace the pins if needed. Two replacement shear pins
and cotter pins have been provided with the snow thrower.
Spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins
and securing with new cotter pins.
Adjustments
Speed selector Rod
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved,
refer to Figure 6-4 to the right and adjust the shift rod as follows:
1.
Looking underneath the handle panel, note which of
the three holes in the speed selector lever the ferrule is
inserted into. Also note the direction of insertion. Then
remove the internal cotter pin and flat washer from the
ferrule and withdraw the ferrule from the speed selector
lever. See Fig. 6-4.

2.
Place speed selector lever in sixth (6) position or fastest
forward speed.
3.
Push speed selector rod and speed selector arm assembly
down sharply as far as it will go to put the drive into the
fastest forward position.
4.
As necessary, rotate the ferrule up or down the speed
selector rod until the ferrule lines up with the hole from
which it was earlier removed. See Figure 6-4.
5.
From the direction noted earlier, insert the ferrule into the
proper hole.
6.
Reinstall the washer and the internal cotter pin.
Chute Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control is not
fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute bracket can be
adjusted. To do so:
1.
Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and
reposition it slightly. See Fig. 6-5.
2.
Retighten the nuts.
