Gear Shaft
Lubricate the gear shaft with 6-n-1 grease at least once
a season or after every 25 hours of operation (available
at automotive stores, or order part number 737-0170).
Refer to Figure 10.
IMPORTANT:
Keep all grease and oil off of the rubber
friction wheel and aluminum drive plate.
Chute Directional Control
• The worm gear on the chute directional control
should be greased with multipurpose automotive
grease.
Gear Case
The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory
and it does not require checking. If disassembled for
any reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania
grease EPR00, part number 737-0168. Before
reassembling, remove old sealant and apply new
sealant. See Figure 14.
To check the level of grease in the gear case, remove
the vent plug. If necessary, add grease using a grease
gun and the grease fitting on the side of the gear case.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overfill the gear case, since
damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug
is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
Traction Control / Auger Control Lock
The cams on the ends of the control rods which
interlock the traction drive and auger drive controls
must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25
hours of operation. The cams can be accessed beneath
the handle panel. Use a multi-purpose automotive
grease. See Figure 13.

Auger Shaft
• At least once a season, remove the shear bolts
from the auger shaft and spray lubricant inside the
shaft. See Figure 14.
Figure 14
• Grease fittings can be found at either end of the
auger shaft. Lubricate with a grease gun once a
season. See Figure 14.
Auger Bearings
Every season lubricate the auger bearings and the
bearings on the side of the frame with light oil. See
Figure 14.
Drive and Shifting Mechanism
Lubricate at least once a season or after every 25 hours
of operation. Remove the rear cover, lubricate any
chains, sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts, and shifting
mechanism at least once a season. Use engine oil or a
spray lubricant. Avoid getting oil on the friction
wheel rubber and aluminum drive plate. Refer to
Figure 10.
There is a grease fitting on the top of the axle shaft
which drives the rear track drive wheels on both sides
of the unit. Grease these fittings every 25 hours or once
a season.
