Both Wheels Driving: Insert the click pin through
the hole in the hub of the rim and the inside hole on
the snow thrower’s right axle. This position is good
for heavy snow as there is power drive in both
wheels.
IMPORTANT:
Never operate the snow thrower with the
click pin inserted through both the rim and the outside
hole in the axle. Doing so can result in serious damage
to the drive system.
SECTION 6: MAINTAINING YOUR SNOW THROWER
WARNING: Before servicing, repairing or
inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and
stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have
come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark
plug wire and ground it against the engine to
prevent unintended starting.
Lubrication
Engine
• Refer to the engine manual for maintenance
procedures and instructions.
WARNING: When following instructions in
the engine manual for draining oil, be sure to
protect frame to avoid oil dripping onto
transmission parts.
Gear Shaft
• Lubricate the gear shaft with a good all-weather
multi-purpose light grease at least once a season or
after every 25 hours of operation.
IMPORTANT:
Keep all grease and oil off friction wheel
and drive plate.
Gear Case
• The auger gearbox has been filled with grease at
the factory. If disassembled for repairs, lubricate
with 1-1/2 ounces of grease, part no. 737-0168.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overfill the gear case. Damage to
the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is free of
grease in order to relieve pressure.
Wheels

season. Pull the klick pins and remove wheels,
clean and coat axles with a multipurpose
automotive grease. See Figure 16.
