and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the  
spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug  
to prevent someone from accidentally starting the en-  
gine.  
7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting  
the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or  
out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust  
fumes are dangerous.  
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.  
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute  
Handcontactwiththerotatingimpellerinsidethedischarge  
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with  
snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis-  
charge chute. To clear the chute:  
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!  
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have  
stopped rotating.  
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.  
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.  
9. Neveroperatethesnowthrowerwithoutproperguards,  
and other safety protective devices in place and work-  
ing.  
Maintenance and Storage  
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals  
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe  
working condition.  
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas  
where property damage can occur. Keep children  
and others away.  
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank  
inside a building where ignition sources are present  
such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes  
dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any  
enclosure.  
3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details  
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended  
period.  
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as  
necessary.  
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow  
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.  
11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting  
to clear snow at too fast a rate.  
12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds  
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when  
operating in reverse.  
13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow  
thrower is transported or not in use.  
14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by  
the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel  
weights, counterweights, or cabs).  
15. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility  
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm  
hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever  
when traction drive control lever is engaged.  
Damage to the snow thrower can result.  
Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds  
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It  
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you  
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.  
FIG. 15  
USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 16)  
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-  
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool to  
dislodge this blockage.  
NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers  
are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the  
auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow  
you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust  
the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow  
throwing process.  
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting,  
make certain all controls are disengaged and  
the auger/impeller and all moving parts have  
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and  
keep the wire away from the spark plug to pre-  
vent accidental starting.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 21)  
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from  
the factory, already filled with oil.  
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.  
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert  
the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,  
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until  
“FULLmark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.  
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in  
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,  
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper  
clearance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper  
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface  
to be cleared is uneven.  
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower  
overgravelorrockysurfaces.Objectssuchasgravel,rocks  
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the  
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property  
damage or damage to the snow thrower.  
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”  
in the Maintenance section of this manual.  
If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,  
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted  
to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position.  
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 21)  
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-  
fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with  
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.  
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30  
days to assure fuel freshness.  
1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.  
2. Adjust skidplatesbylooseningthehexnuts, thenmov-  
ing skid plate to desired position. Be sure both plates  
are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.  
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.

CLEARANCE)  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called  
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-  
tract moisture which leads to separation and  
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas  
can damage the fuel system of an engine while  
in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel  
system should be emptied before storage of  
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start  
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines  
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next  
season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional

not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-  
ing temperature.  
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER  
Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire  
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a  
licensed electrician.  
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the “OFF”  
position. DO NOT push the primer.  
BEFORE STOPPING  
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-  
ture on the engine.  
WARNING: Do not use the electric  
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt  
A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se-  
riouspersonalinjuryordamagetoyour  
snow thrower could result.  
IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN  
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine,  
proceed as follows:  
1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much  
rope out of the starter as possible.  
2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back  
against the starter.  
COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER  
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts  
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.  
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.  
2. Place throttle control in “FAST” position.  
3. Rotate choke control to “FULLposition.  
4. Connect the power cord to the engine.  
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or  
use the electric starter.  
SNOW THROWING TIPS  
5. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole  
grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.  
6. Push the primer three (3) times.  
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at  
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.  
Goslowerindeep,freezingorheavywetsnow.Usethe  
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.  
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-  
diately after it falls.  
The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At  
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-  
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.  
7. Push starter button until engine starts.  
IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five con-  
tinuous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait  
5 to 10 seconds between each attempt.  
8. When the engine starts, release the starter button and  
slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.  
9. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first,  
then from the engine.  
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all  
snow will be removed.  
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will  
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-  
ing temperature.  
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.  
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow  
conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this  
section of this manual.  
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER  
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the  
“OFF” position.  
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow  
removal by overlapping previous path and moving  
slowly.  
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER  
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This  
will help air flow and extend engine life.  
Aftersnow-throwingiscompleted,allowenginetorunfor  
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.  
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each  
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.  
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts  
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.  
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.  
2. Place throttle control in “FAST” position.  
3. Rotate choke control to “FULLposition.  
4. Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is  
below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between  
15° and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is  
not necessary.  
WARNING: Do not operate snow  
throwerifweatherconditionsimpairvis-  
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,  
windysnowstormcan blind you and be  
hazardous to the safe operation of the  
snow thrower.  
NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the  
engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few  
minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the  
primer.  
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter  
rope to snap back.

MAINTENANCE  
AUGER GEAR CASE  
Oil will drain more freely when warm.  
Catch oil in a suitable container.  
The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper  
level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs  
attention is if service has been performed on the gear  
case.  
NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow  
thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place-  
ment of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the  
frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil  
trapped inside the engine. (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS”
