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.

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-BIL™ or 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.
