John Deere Dual Stage Snowthrower 1330SE

LUBRICATE DISCHARGE CHUTE AND DEFLECTOR

Lubricate the chute rotation gear (A, Figure 20) and deflector hinge (B) with automotive type oil every twenty-five operating hours.

Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires with an accurate gauge.

CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly.

• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

• Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.

• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Change Oil (Procedure also to be performed at the beginning of each season)

Has the snowthrower been operated for 50 hours or more?

Has it been a year since the last oil change?

If either of the above checks is a 'PASS', proceed with the oil change.

Use a clean, high quality detergent oil.

Fill the crankcase to FULL line on dipstick (A, Figure 21).

Be sure original container is marked: A.P.I. service “SF” or higher.

Is the oil not SAE10W40? (SAE10W40 may not provide proper lubrication)

(Procedure also to be performed at the beggining of each season)

To access the spark plug, the snow hood must be removed as follows:

1. Remove the choke control knob (A, Figure 23).

3. Remove the mounting screws (C).

4. Slowly remove the snow hood (A, Figure 24). Make sure that the primer button hose and the ignition wire are not disconnected.

5. The spark plug (B) can now be accessed.

CAUTION: Do not allow grease or oil to contact the rubber friction wheel or the disc drive plate. If the disc drive plate or friction wheel come in contact with grease or oil damage to rubber friction wheel will result.

NOTICE: If grease or oil comes into contact with the disc drive plate or friction wheel, make sure to clean plate and wheel thoroughly with an alcohol base solvent.

Position speed select lever in first forward gear.

Drain fuel to an approved container.

Stand the snowthrower up on the auger housing end.

NOTE: When the crankcase is filled with oil, do not leave the snowthrower standing up on the auger housing for an extended period of time.

Lubricate the chains, sprockets, and hex shaft before storage or at the beginning of each season, using a clean rag dipped in 5W30 Synthetic motor oil. Do NOT use grease.

NOTE: Use a clean rag to wipe away any excess oil from the chains, sprockets, and hex shaft.
