SAFETY  
Any power equipment can cause injury if operated improperly or if the user does not understand how to operate  
the equipment. Exercise caution at all times, when using power equipment.  
Read this owner's manual carefully and know how  
to operate your snow thrower and how to stop the  
unit and disengage the controls quickly.  
Never allow children to operate the equipment.  
Never allow adults to operate the equipment  
without proper instruction.  
Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating  
position, before unclogging the snow thrower or  
making any adjustments or inspections.  
Take all possible precautions when leaving the unit  
unattended. Disengage the attachment clutch lever  
or switch, lower the snow thrower, shift into neutral,  
set the parking brake, stop the engine and remove  
the key.  
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make  
certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect  
the spark plug wire and keep it away from the plug  
to prevent accidental starting.  
Do not run engine indoors except when transport-  
ing the snow thrower in or out of the building. Open  
the outside doors. Exhaust fumes are dangerous.  
Do not clear snow across the face of slopes.  
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction  
on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.  
Refer to the slope guide on page 27 of this manual.  
Never operate the snow thrower without guards,  
plates or other safety protection devices in place.  
Never operate the snow thrower near glass enclo-  
sures, automobiles, window wells, drop offs etc.  
without proper adjustment of the snow thrower  
discharge angle.  
Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow  
anyone in front of the snow thrower.  
Never run the snow thrower into material at high  
speeds.  
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempt-  
ing to clear snow at too fast a rate.  
Never operate the machine at high transport speed  
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care  
when backing.  
Watch for traffic and stay alert when crossing or  
operating near roadways.  
Disengage power to the snow thrower when trans-  
porting or when not in use.  
Use only attachments and accessories approved by  
the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as  
wheel weights, counter weights, cabs etc.)  
Never operate the snow thrower without good  
visibility or light.  
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,  
especially small children, and pets.  
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment  
is to be used and remove all door mats, sleds,  
boards, wires and other foreign objects.  
Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before  
starting engine.  
Do not operate equipment without wearing ad-  
equate winter outer garments.  
Wear substantial footwear which will protect feet  
and improve footing on slippery surfaces.  
Check fuel before starting the engine. Do not  
remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the  
engine is running or hot. Do not fill the fuel tank  
indoors. Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel.  
Make sure the snow thrower height is adjusted to  
clear the type surface it will be used on.  
Do not use the snow thrower without the rear  
weight attached to the tractor.  
Never make any adjustments while the engine is  
running.  
Always wear safety glasses or eye shield during  
operation or while performing and adjustment or  
repair.  
Do not place hand or feet near rotating parts. Keep  
clear of the discharge opening at all times.  
Use extreme caution when operating on or crossing  
gravel surfaces.  
Do not carry passengers.  
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,  
remove the wire from the spark plug and then  
thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for damage.  
Repair any damage before restarting and operating  
the snow thrower.  
If the snow thrower starts to vibrate abnormally,  
stop the engine immediately and check for the  
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.  
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It mean--Attention!!  
Become alert!! Your safety is involved.

BEFORE STARTING  
HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER  
Use the end of assembly checklist to verify that all  
instructions have been properly completed.  
Make sure the skid shoes are adjusted to maintain  
adequate ground clearance between the snow  
thrower and the type of surface to be cleared.  
(Refer to the Service and Adjustments section.)  
Make sure the tractor engine has the correct oil for  
winter operation (SAE 5W-30). Refer to tractor  
owner's manual.  
CAUTION: Never direct discharge  
towards bystanders or windows. Do not  
allow anyone in front of unit.  
CONTROLLING SNOW DISCHARGE  
To control the direction snow is thrown, the dis-  
charge chute has 180 degrees of rotation. Turn the  
crank rod clockwise to rotate the chute to the right.  
Turn the crank rod counterclockwise to rotate the  
chute to the left.  
HOW TO START YOUR SNOW THROWER  
The tractor should be sitting with the engine  
running at full throttle. Turn on the attachment  
clutch switch, starting the snow thrower before  
starting the tractor in motion.  
To control the distance snow is thrown, the upper  
section of the discharge chute pivots up and down.  
Push forward on the chute tilt handle to pivot the  
chute down, decreasing the distance snow is  
thrown. Pull back on the handle to pivot the chute  
up, increasing the distance snow is thrown.  
HOW TO STOP YOUR SNOW THROWER  
To stop the snow thrower turn off the attachment  
clutch switch. Refer to your tractor owner's  
manual.  
15  
In extremely deep snow, raise the snow thrower  
from the ground to remove the top layer and drive  
forward only until the tractors front tires reach the  
uncleared bottom layer of snow. Depress the  
tractor's clutch-brake pedal and allow the spiral  
auger to clear the snow. Reverse the tractor and  
lower the snow thrower to the ground. Drive the  
tractor forward until the snow again becomes too  
deep. Repeating this process into and out of drifts  
will eventually clear even the deepest of snow  
piles.  
RAISING AND LOWERING  
To raise, push down on the lift handle until the  
snow thrower locks in the raised transport position.  
To lower, push down slightly on the lift handle and  
pull the trigger. With the trigger pulled, slowly lower  
the snow thrower until it reaches the ground.  
CAUTION: Do not operate the snow  
thrower without the rear weight attached  
to the tractor to provide extra traction  
and stability.  
If the snow thrower becomes clogged with snow or  
jammed with a foreign object, disengage the snow  
thrower immediately and shut off the tractor engine.  
Unclog the snow thrower before resuming opera-  
tion.  
REMOVING SNOW  
Snow removal conditions vary greatly from light fluffy  
snowfall to wet heavy snow. Operating instructions  
must be flexible to fit the conditions encountered. The  
operator must adapt the lawn tractor and snow thrower  
to depth of snow, wind direction, temperature and  
surface conditions.  
DANGER: Shut off engine and  
disengage snow thrower before  
unclogging discharge chute. Unclog  
using a wooden stick, not your hands.  
Before beginning operation, thoroughly inspect the  
area of operation and remove all door mats, sleds,  
boards, wires and other foreign objects.  
OPERATING TIPS  
The spiral auger speed is directly related to engine  
speed. For maximum snow removal and discharge,  
maintain high engine r.p.m. (full throttle). It is  
advisable to operate the lawn tractor at a slow  
ground speed (1st gear) for safe and efficient snow  
removal.  
Discharge snow down wind whenever possible.  
To help prevent snow from sticking to the snow  
thrower, allow the snow thrower to reach outdoor  
temperature before using it. A light coat of wax may  
also be applied to the inside surface of the snow  
thrower housing and discharge chute.  
In deep, drifted or banked snow it will be necessary  
to use full throttle and a slow ground speed (1st  
gear). Drive forward into the snow, depress the  
tractor's clutch-brake pedal and allow the spiral  
auger to clear the snow. Repeat this method until a  
path is cleared. On the second pass, overlap the  
first enough to allow the snow thrower to handle  
the snow without repeated stopping and starting of  
forward motion.  
Use tire chains to improve traction.  
Use rear wheel weights to improve traction.  
Before the first snowfall, remove all stones, sticks  
and other objects which could become hidden by  
the snow. Permanent obstacles should be marked  
for visibility.  
Overlap each pass slightly to assure complete  
snow removal.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
LIFT RELEASE CABLE ADJUSTMENT  
CAUTION: Before servicing or adjusting  
If the lift rod does not lock the snow thrower  
securely in the transport position, loosen the upper  
hex nut on the lift bracket a few turns and tighten  
the lower hex nut. Refer to figure 16 on page 10.  
If the lift rod fails to unlock completely to lower the  
snow thrower, loosen the lower hex nut on the lift  
bracket a few turns and tighten the upper hex nut.  
Refer to figure 16 on page 10.  
the snow thrower, shut off the engine,  
remove the spark plug wire(s), set the  
parking brake and remove the key from  
the tractor ignition.  
REPLACING AUGER BELT  
Release spring tension from the upper drive belt.  
Lower the snow thrower to the ground.  
Remove the attachment pin.  
Lock the snow thrower's lift handle in the down  
position to decrease auger belt tension.  
SPIRAL AUGERS  
Release spring tension from the lower auger belt.  
Remove the auger drive belt from the clutch/idler  
assembly and from the spiral auger housing.  
Install new belt over top of large auger drive pulley  
and under the two side idler pulleys. Twist the belt  
1/4 turn to seat the "V" of the belt in the groove of  
each idler pulley. Refer to figure 22 on page 12.  
Assemble the belt onto the clutch/idler assembly.  
Refer to figures 23 and 24 on page 12.  
The spiral augers are secured to the auger shaft  
with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a  
foreign object or if ice jams the augers, the snow  
thrower is designed so that the bolts will shear.  
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the shear  
bolts have sheared. See figure 30. Two replace-  
ment shear bolts and hex lock nuts have been  
provided with the snow thrower. For future use  
order part number 710-0890A shear bolt and  
number 43064 hex lock nut.  
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT  
The skid shoes are mounted on each side of the  
spiral auger housing. They regulate the distance  
the scraper plate is raised above the plowing  
surface. When removing snow from a gravel  
driveway or and uneven surface, it is advisable to  
keep the scraper plate as high above the surface  
as possible to prevent possible damage to the  
spiral auger. On blacktop or concrete, keep the  
scraper plate as close to the surface as possible.  
Raise the snow thrower off the ground and place a  
block under each end of the scraper plate. Loosen  
the six hex nuts securing the skid shoes to the  
housing. Adjust the skid shoes up or down and  
retighten the nuts securely. Adjust both skid shoes  
to the same height to keep the housing and the  
scraper plate level. See figure 29.
