NOTE: When lubricating the hex shaft, be careful not to get

any oil on the aluminum drive plate or the rubber friction

wheel. Doing so will hinder the snow thrower’s drive

system. Wipe off any excess or spilled oil.

Auger Shaft

At least once a season, remove the shear pins from the auger

shaft. Spray lubricant inside the shaft and around the spacers and

the flange bearings found at either end of the shaft.

See Fig. 6-4.
