season.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

The chart below shows the recommended

maintenance schedule that should be

performed on a regular basis. More frequent

maintenance and troubleshooting information.

CHECK CLUTCH FUNCTION

rotate with the turning of the engine.

If the auger clutch bail moves freely with no

resistance before contacting handlebar, adjust

or repair before operation.

cable and/or idler adjustment after 20 hours of

operation on a new unit or new drive belt. See

a soft bristled brush. Occasionally apply a light

coat of spray lubricant to exposed metal joints
