Note: The SNOW MASTER does not have lubricating
nipples on the auger. Lubricate by removing the bolts.
7.3 WORM GEAR
The worm gear if filled with special lubricant at the factory.
Refilling is not normally required.
Loosen the plug once a year and check if the worm gear
contains lubricant (fig 14).
If it is leaking or has been repaired it must be refilled with
lubricant. The worm gear holds 92 grams of lubricant at the
most.
Use Shell Darina 1, Texaco Thermatex EP1, Mobiltem 78,
Benalene #372 Grease or similar.
7.4 HEXAGONAL SHAFT
The hexagonal shaft, chain sprocket and chains are not to be
lubricated. All bearings and bushings are permanently
lubricated and require no maintenance.
Lubricating these parts will only result in the grease getting
on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which could
damage the rubber clad friction wheel.
For long time storage the above-mentioned parts should be
lightly wiped with an oily rag to prevent rust.
8 SERVICE AND REPAIRS
No service must be carried out before:
The engine has stopped.
The ignition key has been removed.
- The starting cable has been disconnected from
the spark plug.
If the instructions say that the machine is to be lifted at the
front and rested on the auger housing then the petrol tank
must be emptied.
Empty the petrol tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Do not smoke. Empty into a container
designed for petrol.
