Operating Tips  
The best time to remove snow is the early morning.  
At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been  
exposed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.  
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all  
snow will be removed.  
The auger blades can throw stones, toys, and  
other foreign objects and cause serious personal  
injury to the operator or to bystanders.  
• Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects  
that the auger blades could pick up and throw.  
• Keep all children and pets away from the area  
of operation.  
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.  
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow  
removal by overlapping previous path and moving  
slowly.  
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This  
will help air flow and extend engine life.  
After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run  
for 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.  
• Do not operate snow thrower if weather condi-  
tions impair visibility. Throwing snow during  
a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and  
be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow  
thrower.  
Maintenance  
NOTE: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Inspecting the Auger Blades  
Before each session, inspect the auger blades for wear.  
When a auger blade edge has worn down have an  
Authorized Service Dealer replace the auger blades and  
the scraper (Figure 22).  
IMPORTANT: The control cable must contain some slack  
when you disengage the control bar for the auger blades  
to stop properly.  
NOTE: You may need to adjust the control cable from  
position 1 (default) to position 2 if you notice belt slip  
when the control bar is engaged.  
NOTE: If the control cable is adjusted to position 2,  
ensure that the auger stops properly when the control bar  
is released

the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30  
days or more.  
3. Pullrecoilstarterhandleslowlyafewtimestodistribute

WARNING: Never store the snow thrower with  
gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes  
may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as  
on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas  
appliance. Allow the engine to cool before storing  
in any enclosure.  
4. Replace with new spark plug.  
OTHER  
Remove safety ignition key; store it in a safe place.  
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.  
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.  
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.  
SNOW THROWER  
When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,  
clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.  
Store in a clean, dry area.  
1. Clean entire snow thrower after each use.  
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “Replace-  
ing the Drive Belt” section of this manual).  
If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover  
it to protect it from dust and dirt.  
Cover your snow thrower with a suitable protective  
cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.  
Plastic cannot breathe, which allows condensation to  
form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.  
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/  
exhaust area is still warm.  
3. Besurethatallnuts,bolts,screws,andpinsaresecurely  
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage  
and wear. Replace if necessary.  
4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
FUEL SYSTEM  
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from  
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,  
fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended  
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can  
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation  
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel  
system of an engine while in storage.  
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting  
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.  
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in  
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-  
mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.  
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.  
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.  
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to  
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty  
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
