[. . . ] IMPORTANT MANUAL Do Not Throw Away OWNER'S MANUAL MODEL NUMBER: XT824ES SNOW THROWER Read the Owner's Manual and follow all Warnings and Safety Instructions. Failure to do so can result in serious injury. WARNING: Always Wear Eye Protection During Operation 430355 10. 19. 09 SR Printed in the U. S. A. Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Snow Throwers This snow thrower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury. Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. [. . . ] TIRES • Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14–17 P . S. I. ) • Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber. NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion. 13 BELTS Check belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours of operation and replace if necessary. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). The belts on your snow thrower are of special construction and should be replaced by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) belts available from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to the snow thrower. MAINTENANCE AUGER GEAR CASE • The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs attention is if service has been performed on the gear case. • If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease. TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance. CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above components can cause contamination of the friction wheel and damage to the drive system of your snow thrower. NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and placement of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil trapped inside the engine. (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container. Install drain plug and tighten securely. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). [. . . ] 1 inch = 25. 4 mm IMPORTANT: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (O. E. M. ) replacement parts. Failure to do so could be hazardous, damage your snow thrower and void your warranty. 36 REPAIR PARTS DECALS 1 4 SNOW THROWER - - MODEL NO. 181037 181035 181042 430355 430357 DESCRIPTION DECAL, DANGER DECAL, DANGER, DEFLECTOR DECAL, DANGER OWNER’S MANUAL, ENGLISH OWNER'S MANUAL, FRENCH NOTE: All component dimensions given in U.
