WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Stop the motor.
Apply parking brake.
Remove the ignition key.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) and
keep away from spark plug(s) to prevent accidental
starting.
MAINTENANCE
a) Check mounting bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness in order to prevent costly repairs.
Make sure your snowblower is in safe working
condition.
b) Provide adequate blocking before working under
snowblower when in raised position.
ADJUSTMENTS
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT:
Level Paved Surface: Adjust skid shoes to obtain 3/16"
to 1/4" clearance between cutting edge and surface.
Uneven or Gravel Surface: Adjust skid shoes to obtain
1/2" to 5/8" clearance between cutting edge and
surface.
LUBRICATION
Apply oil at all pivot points.
Chute Rotation System:
Oil chute base, rotation worm when necessary.
Gear box:
Check the oil annually. If necessary, add AGMA 5 EP or
SAE 90 oil.
The gear box should have a total of 155 ml of oil or filled
to the rim of the bolt hole when installed on the
snowblower.
CLEARING
A
CLOGGED
CHUTE:
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowblowers. Never use your hand to
clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. Lower snowblower to the ground and set parking
brake.
2. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF & REMOVE KEY!
3. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the all moving parts
such as the impeller blades have stopped moving.
4. Disconnect wire from the spark plug(s) and keep
wire away to prevent accidental starting.
5. Always use a clean-out tool of at least 36" in length,
NOT YOUR HANDS.
MAINTENANCE
CUTTING EDGE MAINTENANCE
Verify from time to time the wearing on the cutting
edge to make sure you do not wear out the base of
the snowblower's chassis. This cutting edge is
reversible. All you have to do is unscrew the bolts and
turn the cutting edge, reinstall and tighten the bolts
securely.
AUGERS
REPLACEMENT
Shear bolts are to be considered a preventive
measure and not an assured protection. Operator
vigilance is required. Thoroughly inspect the areas
where the snowblower is to be used and remove all
foreign objects.
To avoid damage to the snowblower:
Use only the original shear bolts (grooved bolts).
#104000 in bags of 10 for the augers.
#103999 in bags of 10 for the fan.
The use of any other shear bolt will not insure any
protection and may void the warranty.
