Auger Control Test  
Perform the following test before operating your snow  
thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter.  
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. It should NOT be tight.  
WARNING  
Never use your hands to  
clean snow and ice from  
the chute assembly or  
auger housing.  
2. In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine  
as instructed on the previous page. Make sure the  
throttle is set in the FAST position.  
The muffler, engine and  
surrounding areas be-  
come hot and can cause  
a burn. Do not touch.  
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 throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) 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. 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 re-adjusting the auger  
control.  
When selecting a Drive  
Speed, use the slower  
speeds until you are  
comfortable and familiar  
with the operation of the  
snow thrower.  
7. To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex  
nut on the auger cable bracket.  
NEVER reposition the  
shift lever (change speeds  
or direction of travel)  
without first releasing the  
drive control and bringing  
the snow thrower to a  
complete stop. Doing so  
will result in premature  
wear to the snow thrower’s  
drive system.  
8. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or  
downward to increase cable tension). See Figure 4-2.  
9. Retighten the upper hex nut.  
10.Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper adjustment  
has been achieved.

Drive Control  
Figure 5-1  
Figure 5-2  
Figure 5-3  
When the drive control is released and in the disen-  
gaged “up” position, the cable should have very little  
slack. It should NOT be tight.  
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:  
1. With the drive control released, push the snow  
thrower gently forward. The unit should roll freely.  
WARNING  
Read, understand, and  
follow all instructions and  
warnings on the machine  
and in this manual before  
operating.  
2. Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push  
the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not  
turn. The unit should not roll freely.  
3. With the drive control released, move the shift lever  
back and forth between the R2 position and the F6  
position several times. There should be no resistance  
in the shift lever.  
Never attempt to make  
any adjustments while  
the engine is running,  
except where specified in  
operator’s manual.  
4. If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in  
need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:  
5. Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket,  
Figure 5-2.  
6. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or  
downward to increase cable tension).  
7. Retighten the hex nut.

If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, or if it is the end of the snow season when the last pos-  
sibility of snow is gone, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructions below to ensure top  
performance from the snow thrower for many more years.  
Preparing Engine  
Preparing Snow Thrower  
NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for more detailed  
information on preparing the snow thrower engine for  
storage.  
When storing the snow thrower in an unventilated or  
metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof  
the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the  
equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings  
and cables.  
Off-Season  
Storage  
Short-Term Storage  
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in  
essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the  
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during short-term  
storage (15-30 days). To prevent this, treat the fuel  
system using a fuel stabilizer.  
Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.  
Follow lubrication recommendations.  
Store equipment in a clean, dry area.  
Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BILor ULTRA-FRESH™)  
is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation  
of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to  
gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow  
mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least  
10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the  
carburetor.  
WARNING  
Never store snow thrower  
with fuel in tank indoors  
or in poorly ventilated  
areas, where fuel fumes  
may reach an open flame,

system of an engine while in storage.  
Long-Term Storage  
Never use engine or carbu-  
retor cleaning products in  
the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.  
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be  
emptied before storage for 30 days or longer.  
WARNING: Fuel left in engine during  
warm weather deteriorates and will  
cause serious starting problems.  
1. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops  
due to lack of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the  
engine.  
WARNING: Never use engine or carbu-  
retor cleaning products in the fuel tank  
or permanent damage may occur.  
2. Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of  
engine oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder.
