Lubrication
Gear Shaft
The gear (hex) shaft should be lubricated at least once a season

rests on the auger housing.
NOTE: Before pivoting snow thrower up and forward, be
sure to run the fuel tank dry to prevent leakage of fuel.
Remove the frame cover from the underside of the snow thrower
2.
by removing four self-tapping screws which secure it.
Apply a light coating of engine oil (or 3-in-1 oil) to the hex shaft.

See Fig. 6-2.
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.
Wheels
At least once a season, remove all four wheels. Clean and coat the
axles with a multipurpose automotive grease before reinstalling
wheels.
