MAINTENANCE
OM 0495SB-A [38]
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Before cleaning, adjusting or repairing the
snowblower: bring the tractor to a complete
stop, lower the equipment, switch off the
engine and remove the ignition key.
• Never park the vehicle in a building where
there are flames or sparks. Allow the engine
to cool before storing the vehicle in an
enclosed area.
• Let the snowblower run for a few minutes
after blowing snow to prevent the auger and
fan from freezing.
• Always remove the snowblower off the hitch
if you need to work on the snowblower.
Gear Box and Reduction Box
When the gearbox or reduction box is
opened, the seal must then be reestablished.
To do this, apply a layer of silicone to the
surface of the case before closing it. Allow
the silicone to dry for a minimum of 24 hours
before filling with oil.
Oil Level - Filling
To check the oil level: Remove the filler plug,
if the oil does not reach the level of the plug,
fill until the oil flows through the hole in the
oil level plug. Put the two plugs back in place.
Oil change
Change the oil in the gearbox and reduction
box every 150 hours or every 3 years if the
number of hours has not been reached.
1. Remove the filler cap.
2. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the oil
to drain until only a few fine drops escape.
3. Replace the drain plug and remove the oil
level plug. Fill the reduction box/gearbox
with SAE 80W90 oil, AGMA 5EP extreme
pressure oil, or equivalent, to the oil level
plug and replace the plug. Replace the filler
cap.
