General Maintenance Tips
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which
can result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATING THE MACHINE
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for
the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further bearing lubrication is
required.
TIRE INFLATION
Before each use of your Snow Thrower, check the tire pressure. The pressure in each tire should be in
the range of 20-24 psi for the best performance. The pressure can be checked using an ordinary tire
pressure gauge. Fill the tires using a small or pressure regulated air compressor.
WARNING! DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE TIRES. Over-inflating could cause a tire to
burst and cause severe bodily injury.
SHAVE PLATE REPLACEMENT
Remove both skid shoes and hardware including carriage bolts and nuts which attach shave plate to
snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the
inside of the auger housing.
