Check V-Belts

Follow instrcutions below to check the condition of the
drive belts every 50 hours of operation.
Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the
engine by removing two self-tapping screws.
Visually inspect for frayed, cracked, or excessively
worn out belts.

Check Friction Wheel

Follow the instructions below to check the condition of
the friction wheel rubber every 25 hours of operation.
Remove the six self-tapping screws from the frame
cover underneath the snow thrower.
Visually inspect the friction wheel rubber for
excessive wear, cracks, or loose fit on the friction
wheel drive hub.
Also engage the traction control and check if the
friction wheel is making contact with friction plate. If
it does not make contact, adjust the traction drive
cable and recheck the friction wheel.
Replace friction wheel rubber if necessary. Refer to
instructions on page 23.
After maintenance on friction wheel is over, re-
attach the frame cover to the snow thrower with the
hardware removed earlier.

Engine Maintenance

Engine Oil

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF, SG or SH. Select the oil's
SAE viscosity grade according to the expected
operating temperature.

Viscosity Chart
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30
etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-
viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32
engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible
engine damage from running low on oil.
