spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug  
to prevent someone from accidentally starting the en-  
gine.  
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:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details  
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended  
period.  
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).  
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.  
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.

USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 15)  
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.  
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.

OPERATION  
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)  
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
NOTE:Thewrenchprovidedinyourpartsbagmaybeused  
to adjust the skid plates.  
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing  
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the  
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height  
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.  
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  
information. Never use engine or carburetor  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.  
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.  
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.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)  
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from  
the factory, already filled with oil.  
TO START ENGINE  
Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position.  
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt  
A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter  
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is  
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.  
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  
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.  
Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire  
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a  
licensed electrician.  
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”  
in the Maintenance section of this manual.  
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.  
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18)  
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.

SNOW THROWING TIPS  
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts  
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.  
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.  
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.  
2. Place throttle control in FAST position.  
3. Rotate choke control to FULL position.  
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-  
diately after it falls.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all  
snow will be removed.  
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.  
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter  
rope to snap back.  
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow  
conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this  
section of this manual.  
6. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter  
handle and slowly move the choke control to the OFF  
position.  
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow  
removalbyoverlappingpreviouspathandmovingslowly.  
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This  
will help air flow and extend engine life.  
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will  
not develop full power until it has reached normal operating  
temperature.  
Aftersnow-throwingiscompleted,allowenginetorunfor

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”  
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).  
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1  
grease.  
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM  
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place  
wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.  
DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow  
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction  
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings  
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.  
2. Clean area around drain plug.  
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.  
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.  
CAUTION:Anylubricatingoftheabovecompo-  
nents can cause contamination of the friction  
wheel and damage to the drive system of your  
snow thrower.  
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.  
6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to  
install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO  
REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments  
section of this manual).  
ENGINE  
See engine manual.  
7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt  
to enter the engine.  
LUBRICATION  
8. Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour  
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see  
“PRODUCTSPECIFICATIONSsectionofthismanual.  
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service  
classification SG–SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade  
according to your expected operating temperature.  
9. Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be  
sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate  
reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.  
10. Wipe off any spilled oil.  
MUFFLER  
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could create a  
fire hazard and/or damage.  
SPARK PLUG

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
NOTE: To seal punctures or prevent flat tires due to slow  
ENGINE SPEED  
leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts  
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.  
Nevertamperwiththeenginegovernor, whichisfactoryset  
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above  
the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will  
void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high  
speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center,  
which has proper equipment and experience to make any  
necessary adjustments.  
ENGINE  
See engine manual.  
CARBURETOR  
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance  
should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134  
meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to  
suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower to  
a qualified service center.  
STORAGE  
Immediately prepare your unit for storage at the end of the  
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.  
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.  
WARNING: Never store the snow  
throwerwithgasolineinthetankinside  
a building where fumes may reach an  
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a  
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or  
gasappliance. Allowtheenginetocool  
before storing in any enclosure.  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-  
imizing 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 drain the  
gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.  
ENGINE  
See engine manual.  
If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover  
it to protect it from dust and dirt.  
FUEL SYSTEM  
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from  
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,  
fuelhose,ortankduringstorage.Also,alcoholblendedfuels  
(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.
