DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric
snowblower which eliminates the need for the usual
three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal
parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double-
insulated snowblower do not need to be grounded.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120
V, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do
not operate this product on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If the product does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a snowblower at a considerable distance
from a power source, be sure to use an extension
cord that has the capacity to handle the current the
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss
of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum
wire size required in an extension cord. Only round-
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an
extension cord that is designed for outside use. This
type of cord is designated with “WA” on the cord’s
jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose
or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. It is
possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in
a knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected
during use. Make the knot as shown in the figure at
right, then connect the plug end of the power cord into
the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method
can also be used to tie two extension cords together.
WARNING: The double-insulated
system is intended to protect the user
from shock resulting from a break in
the snowblower’s internal insulation.
Observe all normal safety precautions to
avoid electrical shock.
WARNING: Servicing of a product with
double insulation requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service
technician.
For service, we suggest you return the
product to your nearest authorized
service centre for repair. Always use
identical factory replacement parts when
servicing.
Inspect the extension cord and the power cord
on a regular basis. Look for deterioration, cuts, or
cracks in the insulation. Inspect the connections
for damage. Repair or replace the extension cord
or the power cord if any damage is found.
Verify that the paddle and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop, and disconnect the
snowthrower from the power supply in order to
prevent accidental start- ups, before cleaning or
performing any inspections or repairs.
Do not abuse the extension cord. Do not carry the
snowblower by the power cord or pull on the cord
in order to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the extension cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges in order to prevent damage.
If the extension cord is damaged in any manner
while it is plugged in, disconnect it from the outlet
immediately.
Prevent any possible disconnection of the power
cord from the extension cord while the snowblower
is in use by using the cord retainer. Refer to the
section entitled Using the Cord Retainer.
Unplug the snowblower and allow it to cool
down before putting it into storage. Store the
snowthrower indoors.
Unplug the snowblower when it is not in use and
before performing any maintenance or repairs.

by the snowblower, causing serious
personal injury. Remove all foreign
objects from the area to be plowed
before operating the snowblower.
1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects
that can become thrown by the rotating paddle.
Perform a thorough inspection of the area
since some objects may be hidden from view
by surrounding snow. If the snowblower hits an
obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snowblower, disconnect the extension
cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit
for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part
before restarting and operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from

noise of the machine when turned on may make it
difficult for you to hear approaching people.
3. When moving the snowblower, use the wheels
on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the
snowblower on this pivot point to move it forward
or backward.
4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet
and work outward, throwing snow in a back and
forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction,
step over the cord and pivot the snowblower on its
wheels. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.
5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the
same direction as the wind so that the snow is not
thrown against the wind (and then back into your
face and onto the just cleared path).
6. While moving the snowblower, do not drag the
power cable violently or roughly. The snow thrower
should move within the range that the cable can
reach.
7. Do not push the snowblower with excessive force.

Changing Throw Direction and Throw
Height
1. The discharge chute
can be adjusted
180 degrees by
rotating the chute
crank. Rotate the
chute control crank
clockwise to move
the discharge chute
to the left (Fig.24) and
counter-clockwise to
move the chute to the
right (Fig.25).

40, will provide a smoother operation
of the chute (spray at points A and B as
indicated in Fig. 24).
2. The chute deflector
on the top of the
discharge chute
controls the height
of the snow stream.
Loosen the knob
to raise or lower
the deflector to the
desired height of
snow you wish to
throw. Tighten the
knob to secure the
deflector (Fig. 26).
WARNING: Never direct the snow
discharge chute at the operator, at
bystanders, at vehicles, or at nearby
windows. The discharged snow and
foreign objects accidentally picked
up by the snowblower can cause
serious damage and personal injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in
the opposite direction from where you,
bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or
windows are located.
WARNING: Make sure that the chute
deflector snaps and locks completely
onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the
chute deflector may allow foreign
objects to be picked up by the
snowblower and thrown in the direction
of the operator causing serious boldly
injury. Do not advance the chute
deflector too far forward causing an
opening to appear between the deflector
and discharge chute. Do not over tighten
the knobs on the chute deflector (Fig.
26).

safe working condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the
snowblower for a few minutes to prevent the
collector/paddle from freezing. Shut off the motor,
wait for all revolving parts to stop completely, and
wipe residual ice and snow off the unit. Rotate the
chute crank several times to remove any excess
snow.
Replacing the Rubber Plates
NOTE: When replacing worn rubber
plates, pay close attention to carefully
distinguish between the coarse and
smooth side of the plates. Place the
coarse side inside and the smooth side
outside.
1. Detach the worn
rubber plate assembly
by removing the two
sets of nuts and bolts
used to secure it to
the paddle assembly
(Figs. 27 & 28).
2. Loosen the middle
two sets of nuts and
bolts to detach the
worn rubber plate
from the metal frame
(Fig. 29).

Maintenance
3. Attach the new rubber plate onto the metal frame
by replacing and tightening the middle two sets of
nuts and bolts (Fig. 29).
4. Reassemble the rubber plate assembly to the
paddle assembly by replacing and tightening the
two sets of nuts and bolts used to secure it (Figs.
20 & 21).
WARNING: Make sure to turn off the
switch and disconnect the extension
cord before performing any maintenance
task on your snowblower.
Replacing the Scraper Bar
1. The scraper bar is
located at the base
of the snowblower
beneath the rotor
housing (Fig.30).
2. Detach the worn
scraper bar from
the snowblower by
removing the two
screws that hold it in
place (Fig. 31).
3. Install the new
scraper bar and
fasten it securely
to the snowblower
with the two screws
(Fig. 32).
Replacing the Belt and Pulley
NOTE: Determine the left and right hand
side of the snowblower by standing
behind the unit in the normal operating
position
1. Remove the screws
from the left panel of
the snowblower and
remove the left panel
(Fig. 33).
2. Lift the belt tension
pulley and roll the
worn belt up and off
the big pulley from the
top of the big pulley
(Fig. 34).
3. To replace the big pulley, remove the screw
and washer from the middle of the pulley. While
securing the paddle, so it does not spin, use a
7/8-inch socket to turn the outer nut of the pulley
clockwise (the pulley is left-handed, so loosening
and tightening occur in reverse orientation;
clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise
to tighten). Once the old pulley is removed,
replace the big pulley and tighten the outer nut
counterclockwise with the 7/8-inch socket. Replace
and tighten the screw and washer (Fig. 34).
N
OTE: Heavy wet snow puts a load on
belts, thus requiring more frequent belt
replacement.
4. To install the new belt,
lift the belt tension
and roll the new belt
onto the little pulley
at an angle. Then
roll the belt onto the
top of big pulley by
rotating the big pulley
counterclockwise
as the belt grips the
top of the big pulley
(Fig. 35).
5. Replace the left panel of the snowblower with all
screws (Fig. 33).
