Lubricate pivot points on the control handle and the
extension spring at the end of the control cable with a
light oil once every season and before storage of the
snow thrower at the end of the season.
Replacing Auger Paddles
The snow thrower auger’s rubber paddles are subject to
wear and should be replaced if any signs of excessive
wear is present.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT allow the auger’s rubber paddles

itself can come in contact with the pavement. Doing so
can result in serious damage to your snow thrower.
To change the rubber paddles, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the existing rubber paddles by unthreading the
self-tapping screws which secure them to the auger.
See Figure 11.
