mise the safety of the snow thrower.

Operating Tips

1. For most efficient snow removal, remove snow

immediately after it falls.

2. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.

Slightly overlap each previous swath.

2. In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower

engine as instructed earlier in this section under the

heading Starting Engine. Make sure the throttle is set

in the FAST position.

3. Set the skid shoes 1/4” below the shave plate for

normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted

upward for hard-packed snow.

Operation

3. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the

snow thrower) engage the auger.

NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this

snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily

4. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately picked up and thrown by the auger causing personal

Repeat this several times.

injury and/or damage to the snow thrower.

4. If for some reason, you have to operate the snow

thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest

position for maximum clearance between the ground

and the shave plate.

5. With the engine running in the FAST position and the

auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to

the front of the machine.

WARNING

6. Confirm that the auger has completely stopped

rotating and shows NO signs of motion.

5. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

Engine

Listed below are general recommendations about

maintaining your snow thrower engine. For further details,

refer to the accompanying engine manual.

Servicing Augers

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with four

shear pins and cotter pins. If you hit a foreign object or

ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins

may shear. Refer to Figure 9.

1. Before operating snow thrower, check the oil level.

NOTE:

2. Change engine oil after first two hours of operation

and every 25 hours thereafter.

If auger continues to

rotate with the control

disengaged, shut off

engine and re-adjust.

If the augers do not turn, check if the pins have sheared.

Replace, if needed, with proper shear pins. Refer to

item 42 on page 17 for part number.

3. Clean spark plug and reset the electrode gap to

0.030” at least once a season or every 100 hours of

operation; replace every 200 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear pins with

standard pins or fasteners. Any damage to the auger

gearbox or other components, as a result of doing so,

will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.

Check V-Belts

Follow instructions below to check condition of drive belts

every 50 hours of operation.

1. Remove the plastic belt cover on the front of the engine

by removing the self-tapping screw and pressing the

plastic tabs to release the belt cover. See Figure 11

Lubrication

For a view of the lubrication points on the snow thrower,

see Figure 10.

2. Visually inspect for frayed, cracked, or excessively

worn out belts. Replace, if necessary, following

instructions on page 13.

1. Lubricate pivot points on the auger control and drive

control with a light engine oil once a season.

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 possibility 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.

WARNING: Do not drain carburetor if

using fuel stabilizer. Never use engine or

carburetor cleaning products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an accept-

able 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.

Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
