CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your snow blower.
Atl adjustments in ADJUSTMENTS/REPAIRS section of this
manual should be checked at least once each season.
SNOW BLOWER
Auger and Traction Drive Belts should be adjusted after the
first 2 to 4 hours of use, again about mid-season and twice
each season thereafter (See To Adjust Belts paragraph in the
Adjustment/Repair section).
AS REQUIRED
Auger Gear Box
The auger gear box is lubricated at the factory and should not
require additional lubrication.
If for some reason the lubricant should leak out, or if the auger
gear box has been serviced, add Lubriplate GR132 Grease
or equivalent. Maximum 3-1/4 ounces, (92 grams) should be
used.
Remove filler plug (Figure 20), once a year. If grease is
visible, do not add. If grease is not visible, use a piece of fine
wire, like a dipstick to check if there is grease in the gear box.
Mobilux EP1 and Shell Aldania EP1 are suitable equivalents.
