SNO-THRO UNIT
The blower gear case is lubricated with Ariens Liquid
Grease (Part No. 000070). This grease will not flow at lower
temperatures. It is therefore difficult to check the lubricant
level. Best method for checking is to place the unit in a warm
location overnight. This allows the grease to flow to level.
Check the lubrication by removing the filler plug on the side
of the gear case just above the left auger shaft. Lubrication
should be even with the hole with the machine sitting level. It
may be necessary to insert a wire into the hole to check level.
The unit will not be damaged by over lubricating.
