the area of the control levers. Also, move control levers

back and forth several times.

WARNING: The temperature of muffler

and the surrounding areas may

exceed 150º F. Avoid these areas

Auger Control Test

IMPORTANT: Perform the following test before operat-

ing the snow thrower for the first time and at the start of

each season.

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

1. When the auger control is released and in the

disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very

little slack, but should NOT be tight.

WARNING: Do not over-tighten the

cable. Over-tightening may prevent

the auger from disengaging and

compromise the safety of the snow

thrower.

2. In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower

engine as instructed earlier in this section under the

heading Starting Engine. Make sure the throttle is

set in the FAST position.

3. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the

snow thrower) engage the auger.

4. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately

ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control.

Repeat this several times.

5. With the engine running in the FAST position and the

auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to

the front of the machine.

6. Confirm that the auger has completely stopped

rotating and shows NO signs of motion.

IMPORTANT: If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating,

immediately return to the operator’s position and shut

off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before

readjusting the auger control cable as shown in the

“Setup And Adjustment” section on page 7.

Operating The Snowthrower

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes

as the engine will not develop full power until it reaches

operating temperature.

• Adjust the discharge chute as desired. Do not throw

snow toward a building as hidden objects could be

discharged with enough force to cause damage.

• Start the engine as instructed previously.

• Making certain no bystanders or obstacles are in front

of the unit, squeeze the auger control bail completely

against the upper handle to fully engage the augers.

Release the auger control bail and the augers will

stop.

• While the auger control handle is engaged, squeeze

the drive control bail completely against the upper

handle to engage the wheels. Release the drive

control bail and the wheels will stop.

• As the snowthrower starts to move, maintain a firm

hold on the handle, and guide the snowthrower along

the path to be cleared.

• Release the bails to stop the snowthrowing action and

forward motion.

NOTE: Your unit is equipped with a clutch in the transmis-

sion. If the wheels stop turning while trying to discharge

large volumes of snow, immediately disengage the drive

control bail and allow the rotating augers to discharge

snow from the housing. Continue operation reducing

clearing width.

The operation of

any snow thrower

can result in foreign

objects being thrown

any moving parts

on engine and snow

thrower.

Operation

Never use your

hands to clean

snow and ice

from the chute

assembly or

auger housing.

The temperature of

muffler and the sur-

rounding areas may

exceed 150° F. Avoid

these areas

WARNING

Operating Tips

• For most efficient snow removal, remove snow

immediately after it falls.

• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly

overlap each previous swath.

• Set the slide shoes 1/4” below the shave plate for

normal usage. The slide shoes may be adjusted to low

position, see Figure for hard-packed snow.

NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate

this snowthrower on gravel as loose gravel can be

easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing

personal injury, property damage and/or damage to your

snowthrower.

• If for some reason, you have to operate the

snowthrower on gravel, keep the slide shoe in the

highest position for maximum clearance between the

ground and the shave plate.

• Be certain to follow the precautions listed under “To

Stop Engine” to prevent possible freeze-up.

• Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.

Clean-Out Tool

WARNING: Never use your hands to

clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut

off engine and remain behind handles

until all moving parts have stopped

before unclogging.

• Release both the auger control and the drive/auger

control lock.

• Stop the engine by moving the throttle to the stop

position.

• Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip.

• Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to

remove any snow and ice in the chute assembly.

• Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on

the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.

• While standing in the operator’s position (behind the

snow thrower), engage the auger control for a few

seconds to clear any remaining snow or ice from the

chute assembly before continuing to clear snow.

Always stop engine,

disconnect spark

plug, and ground

against engine before

cleaning, lubricating

or doing any kind

of maintenance or

adjustments on your

machine.

WARNING

Maintenance

& Service

General Recommendations

1. Always observe safety rules when performing any

maintenance.

2. The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover

items that have been subjected to operator abuse or

negligence. To receive full value from the war

ranty, operator must maintain the snow thrower as

instructed in this manual.

3. Periodically check all fasteners and hardware to

make sure these are tight.

WARNING: Before servicing, repairing,

lubricating or inspecting, disengage all

controls and stop engine. Wait until all

moving parts have come to a complete

stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and

ground it against the engine to prevent

unintended starting. Always wear safety

glasses during operation or while per-

forming any adjustments or repairs.

Shave Plate and Skid Shoes

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the

snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be

checked periodically and replaced when necessary.

To remove skid shoes:

1. Remove the four carriage bolts and hex flange nuts

which secure them to the snow thrower.

2. Reassemble new skid shoes with the four carriage

bolts (two on each side) and hex flange nuts. Refer

to Figure 9.

remove shave plate:

1. Remove the carriage bolts and hex nuts which attach

it and the skid shoes to the snow thrower housing.

2. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of

carriage bolts are to the inside of housing. Tighten

securely.

Augers

• The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two

shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike

a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is

designed so that the pins may shear.

• If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins

have sheared. When replacing pins, spray an oil

lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins.

Lubrication

1. Lubricate pivot points on the auger control and drive

control with a light engine oil once a season. See

Figure 10.

2. Lubricate the face of the auger idler bracket with a

light weight cold weather lubricant at least once a

season. See Figure 10.

Engine

Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your

unit for all engine maintenance.

Check V-Belts

Follow instructions below to check condition of drive belts

every 50 hours of operation.

1. Remove

the plastic belt cover on the front of the

engine by removing the self-tapping screw and press

ing the plastic tabs to release the belt cover.

2. Visually

inspect for frayed, cracked, or excessively

worn out belts. Replace, if necessary.

Replacing Belts

NOTE: There are two belts on this snow thrower: an

auger belt and drive belt. It is recommended that both

belts be replaced at the same time.

1. Remove the spark plug wire from spark plug and ground it

against the engine to prevent accidental starting.

2. Drain gasoline from the gas tank, or place a piece

of plastic sheet underneath the gas cap to prevent

gasoline leakage.

Observe the following, when preparing your snow

thrower for off-season storage:

• Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away

from any open flame. Allow engine to cool. Extin-

guish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources

of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine

during warm weather deteriorates and will cause

serious starting problems.

•

If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for

storage as instructed in the separate engine manual

packed with your unit.

• Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops

due to lack of fuel.

• Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to

prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts

and causing possible malfunction of engine.

• Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain,

located below the carburetor cover.

• Fuel stabilizers, such as STA-BIL®, are an accept

able alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel

gum deposits during storage. Do not drain carburetor

if using a fuel stabilizer.

• Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.

• Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine

oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover spark

plug hole with rag. Crank engine several times to

distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

• Follow the lubrication recommendations found in the

Maintenance Section.

• Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.

Off-Season

Storage

Never store snow

thrower with fuel

in tank indoors or

in poorly ventilated

areas, where fuel

fumes may reach an

open flame, spark

or pilot light as on a

furnace, water heater,

clothes dryer or

gas appliance.

Drain fuel into an

approved container

outdoors, away from

any open flame. Be

certain engine is

cool. Do not smoke.

Fuel left in engine

during warm weather

deteriorates and will

cause serious start-

ing problems.

Do not drain carbure-

tor if using fuel

stabilizer. Never use

engine or carburetor

cleaning products

in the fuel tank or

permanent damage

may occur.
