Gearbox and Reduction Box
When servicing either the gearbox or the
reduction box, the sealing of the casing must be
restored. To do so, apply a layer of silicone to
the casing before closing it. Allow the silicone to
cure for at least 24 hours before filling it with oil.
WARNING
Before cleaning, adjusting or repairing
the snowblower: bring the tractor to a
complete stop, lower the implement shut
off the engine and remove the ignition
key.
Never park the tractor inside a building
where an open flame or sparks are
present. Allow the engine to cool down
before storing in any enclosure.
Run the snowblower a few minutes after
blowing snow to prevent freeze up of
auger and fan.
Provide
adequate
blocking
before
working under the snowblower when in
raised position.
Mounting the Reduction Box Bearing Preload Cover
(Figure below)
1.
Make sure that the outside threads of the cover
(item 1) and the inside threads of the casing are
clean and oil free. Any presence of oil or dirt
can affect the tightening of the bearings and the
performance of the Loctite n
o
242/243 that will
be used.
2.
Install and grease the o-ring (item 2) on the
cover (item 1).
3.
Apply 3 drops of Loctite n
o
242/243 at an
interval of 120 degrees on the inside threads of
the casing (item 3).
4.
Apply 3 drops of Loctite n
o
242/243 at an
interval of 120 degrees on the outside
threads of the cover (item 1).
5.
Screw the cover (item 1) in the casing after
having assembled the sprocket and the
gear.
6.
Tighten the cover manually until the play in
the cone bearings has disappeared.
7.
Then, tighten the cover and make sure the
torque required to turn the input shaft is
between 6-10 lb-in. The torque must be
measured with a torque wrench (if one is not
available, follow the procedure on the
following page) and without the seals being
installed on the input and the output shafts.
8.
Apply a drop of Loctite n
o
242/243 in the
insides thread where the two 1/4-20-NC
setscrews will be inserted (item 4).
9.
Apply a drop of Loctite n
o
242/243 on each
setscrew (item 4) and insert them in the
cover. Tighten at 84 lb-in. Wipe the excess
Loctite.
10.
Grease the seal lips and make sure they are
correctly placed.
