Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your
unit for all engine lubrication instructions.
Drive and Shifting Mechanism
Lubricate at least once a season or after every 25 hours
of operation. Remove the frame cover, lubricate any
chains, sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts, and shifting
mechanism at least once a season. Use engine oil or a
spray lubricant. Avoid getting oil on the friction
wheel rubber and aluminum drive plate. Refer to
Figure 12.
WARNING: When following instructions in
the separate engine manual for draining oil,
be sure to protect the frame to avoid oil
dripping onto transmission parts.

Shave Plate And Skid Shoes
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the
snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be
checked periodically and replaced when necessary.
Refer to Figure 6.
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your
unit for all engine maintenance procedures.
To remove the skid shoes, remove the six carriage
bolts, belleville washers and hex nuts (three on each
side) which attach them to the snow thrower.
Reassemble the new skid shoes making sure that the
bolts and washers are reinstalled correctly. Also, make
certain the skid shoes are adjusted so the flat surface is
sitting level on the ground. The skid shoes can be
rotated on this machine 180° so both flat surfaces of the
skid shoe can be utilized for wear.
Augers/Shear Bolts
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. Refer to Figure 14. If you
hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the bolts may shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts have
sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex lock
nuts have been provided with the snow thrower. For
future use, order kit number OEM-710-0890 which
contains four replacement shear bolts and

ONE-YEAR COMMERCIAL
Proper maintenance of your Cub Cadet equipment is the owner’s responsibility. Follow the instructions in your

complete line of quality lubricants and filters for your equipment’s engine, transmission, chassis and
attachments.
Riding mowers, lawn tractors, garden tractors, Cub Cadet
attachments and home maintenance products
This limited warranty for residential users, covers any defect in materials or workmanship in your Cub Cadet

Batteries have a one-year prorated limited warranty with 100% replacement during the first three months.
V-belts for either the traction drive or any attachments are covered for one year only.
Cub Cadet equipment used commercially is warranted for one year only.

sharpening, set-up, abuse, accidents and normal wear. It does not cover incidental costs such as transporting
your equipment to and from the dealer, telephone charges or renting a product temporarily to replace a
warranted product.
There is no other express warranty.
