John Deere Dual Stage Snowthrower 1330SE

"LUBRICATE AUGER SHAFT FITTINGS

(Procedure also to be performed before every storage)

1. Using a hand grease gun, lubricate the auger shaft fittings (B, Figure 18) every ten (10) operating hours. Each time a shear pin (C) is replaced, the auger shaft (D) MUST be greased. (See “Auger Shear Pin Replacement” section.)

2. For storage or when replacing shear pins, remove shear pins and lubricate auger shaft fittings (B). Rotate augers several times on the shaft and reinstall the shear pins.

LUBRICATE CONTROL LEVER LINKAGE (Procedure also to be performed at the beggining of each season)

Check the function of the Free-Hand controls. The controls should function as described in the OPERATION section.; WARNING: It is critical for the safe operation of the unit that the controls disengage when released.

Lubricate the linkage for the traction/Free-Hand control (A, Figure 19), speed select control (B), and auger control (C) every ten operating hours, or as necessary to ensure safe operation.

NOTICE: Under no circumstances should the unit be used if the controls do not function properly.;

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Is the lubricant visible in the auger gear box?

If lubricant is not visible, proceed to the next step. If visible, do not add more.

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

(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.

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)
