cafoose 3,456 #1 Posted May 17, 2017 I was in my shed today working on my 520 and I noticed a puddle of oil under my Ber-Vac snowblower. Shouldn't I store it on end like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,376 #2 Posted May 18, 2017 You probably shouldn't because of the gearbox, but I have the Toro version and it stays hooked up on one of my 520s year round, but at least you know it made need some attention before winter, Jeff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I need to store it flat and check the oil before I'm assuming it takes gear oil correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,376 #4 Posted May 18, 2017 Without the Ber-Vac manual I can't tell you what lube it takes,but yes the Toro version does in both gearboxes, the auger and jackshaft, Jeff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #5 Posted May 18, 2017 Going over 90 degrees today! Let's not bring up cold, wet, nasty snow today, OK? If you're going to fix a blower, let's hope it's a Little Wonder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
