LUBRICATE THE SNOWTHROWER
With an oil can, apply medium weight (10W)
oil to points shown in figure 5, 6, 7 and 7A.
There are two grease fittings in the auger
shaft (figure 4). Wipe fittings dean and
apply two, or three shots of grease. Also, use
grease on points shown in figure 8.
Generally, all moving metal parts should be
oiled where contact is made with other parts.
Keep oil off belts and pulleys.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.
The air pressure in each tire should be 20 psi.
Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent
entry of moisture. Tire pressure should be
equal for best performance.
