Snapper 1632E - Manual (Page 23)

LUBRICATION
Remove wheels and grease axles once each year.
Apply 5W-30 synthetic motor oil to the friction disk drive
hex shaft (A, Figure 13).
Apply medium weight (10W) oil to points shown (See
Figures 12-15).
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off
belts, pulley grooves, drive disc, and friction disc.
LUBRICATION NOTES:
Grease locations indicated by grease gun symbol.
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble
parts to apply grease to moving parts when grease
fittings are not installed.
Oil locations indicated by oil can symbol. Do not
allow oil to drip onto traction drive or friction disc.
Do not lubricate remote deflector control.
Regular Maintenance

IMPORTANT NOTE
It is very important that grease fittings on the
auger shaft are lubricated regularly. If auger rusts
to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur if shear
pins do not break.
To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also nec-
essary to remove the wheels and grease the axles
regularly.
