GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Some adjustments must be made periodically to

properly maintain your unit. All adjustments in the

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual

should be checked at least once each season.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

The chart below shows the recommended

maintenance schedule that should be performed on a

regular basis. More frequent service may be required

due to heavy loads or use.

See Engine Manual for further maintenance and

troubleshooting information.

CHECK CLUTCH FUNCTION

With key in "STOP" position, squeeze auger clutch bail

to Engaged position and pull recoil starter handle.

Auger should rotate with the turning of the engine.

Release the auger clutch bail.

If the auger clutch bail moves freely with no resistance

before contacting handlebar, adjust or repair.

NOTE: The unit will require control cable and/or idler

adjustment after 20 hours of operation on a new unit or

new drive belt. See Service and Adjustments for

instructions.

CHECK FASTENERS

Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly tightened.

CLEAN ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

Engine is air cooled. Air must circulate freely around

engine to prevent overheating.

Every year (more often if conditions require) remove

cooling shrouds and clean cooling ﬁns. Clean external

surfaces of engine of dust, dirt and oil deposits which

can contribute to improper cooling. Refer to Engine

Manual.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate engine with cooling

shrouds removed. Engine overheating and damage will

result.

CLEAN UNIT

After each use, brush snow and debris off with a soft

bristled brush. Occasionally apply a light coat of spray

lubricant to exposed metal joints and surfaces. Wipe off

excess with soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or harsh

cleaners.

IMPORTANT: Take steps to prevent rust and corrosion.

Never spray unit with water or store unit outdoors.

Water can seep into sealed bearings, which are sealed

against dirt and debris only, causing reduced

component life.

WARNING: ACCIDENTAL ENGINE START

UP can cause death or serious injury.

ALWAYS stop engine, remove key, and wait

for moving parts to stop, before performing

maintenance or service.

HOT SURFACES can cause death or serious

injury. DO NOT touch parts which are hot from

operation. ALWAYS allow parts to cool.
