SERVICING
Servicing should be performed by a qualified
technician. Replacement parts for this snowblower
must be identical to the parts that they replace. If
repairs are necessary, contact the toll-free helpline at
1.866.523.5218.
STORAGE
• Allow the engine to cool completely before
cleaning, storing, or transporting the snowblower.
Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
• Disconnect the extension cord from the
snowblower. Inspect the extension cord closely for
signs of wear or damage. Replace it if it is worn or
damaged.
• Run the snow thrower for a few minutes in order to
melt any snow that may be left on the snowblower.
• Wipe the snowblower off with a dry cloth before
storage. This will help prevent ice building up on
the unit and parts freezing.
• Inspect the snowblower thoroughly for worn,
loose, or damaged parts. If any parts must be
repaired or replaced, contact the toll-free helpline
at 1.866.523.5218.
• Store the snowblower in a clean, dry place. Cover
it in order to provide added protection.
NOTE: Identify the left and right sides of
the snow thrower when standing in the
normal operating position.
Lifetime Lubrication (Motor and Paddle)
Lubrication is not necessary and may damage the
unit. The snowblower is lubricated for lifetime use at
the factory before shipment.
General Maintenance Tips
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless
you have the proper tools and instructions for
disassembly and repair of the machine.
2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for
proper tightness to ensure that the equipment is in
safe working condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the
snowblower for a few minutes to prevent the
collector/paddle from freezing. Shut off the motor,
wait for all revolving parts to stop completely, and
wipe residual ice and snow off the unit. Rotate the
chute crank several times to remove any excess
snow.
Replacing the Rubber Plates
NOTE: When replacing worn rubber
plates, pay close attention to carefully
distinguish between the coarse and
smooth side of the plates. Place the
coarse side inside and the smooth side
outside.
1. Detach the worn
rubber plate assembly
by removing the two
sets of nuts and bolts
used to secure it to
the paddle assembly
(Figs. 27 & 28).
2. Loosen the middle
two sets of nuts and
bolts to detach the
worn rubber plate
from the metal frame
(Fig. 29).
