MAINTENANCE
a) Check mounting bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness in order to prevent costly repairs.
Make sure your snowblower is in safe working
condition.
b) Provide adequate blocking before working under
the snowblower when in raised position.
ADJUSTMENTS
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT:
Level Paved Surface
: Adjust skid shoes to allow 3/16" to
1/4" clearance between cutting edge and surface.
Uneven or Gravel Surface
: Adjust skid shoes to allow
1/2" to 5/8" clearance between cutting edge and
surface.
LUBRICATION
Grease the wheel axles, the fork pivots and the hub on
the double pulleys after every 4 hours of use.
Apply oil at all pivot points.
Drive Chains
: Lubricate with chain saw chain lubricant
every four hours of operation and at the end of each
operation.
Chute Rotation System: Oil chute base, rotation worm
every eight hours of operation.
CUTTING EDGE MAINTENANCE
Verify from time to time the wearing on the cutting
edge to make sure you do not wear out the base of
the snowblower’s chassis. This cutting edge is
reversible. All you have to do is unscrew the bolts and
turn the cutting edge, reinstall and tighten the bolts
securely.
SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT
*The shear bolt is to be considered a preventive
measure and not an assured protection. Operator
vigilance is required. Thoroughly inspect the areas
where the snowblower is to be used and remove all
foreign objects.
Auger Shear Bolt Replacement
:
The auger is protected by a shear bolt with two grooves.
If you hit a foreign object or ice, the shear bolt is
designed to break upon absorbing impact. The auger
will stop turning. This is to avoid damage to the auger or
the snowblower. Replace only with original parts (for
identification, see parts list: "Snowblower"). The use of
any other bolt may void the warranty.
STORAGE
a) Clean snowblower and subframe thoroughly and
repaint all parts from which paint has worn.
b) List the replacement parts that will be needed to
be replaced before the next season.
c) Follow the instructions in the Lubrication section.
d) Concerning the snowblower engine, follow the
instructions in the engine owner’s manual.
e) Store the snowblower and the subframe in a dry
place.
