Auger Control Test
IMPORTANT: Perform the following test before operating
the snow thrower for the first time and at the start of each
winter season.
NOTE: When engaging the electric starter, a slight hesita-
tion of a few seconds may occur before the engine starts
to turn. This is normal and is not harmful to the engine.
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, but should NOT be tight.
10

WARNING: Do not over-tighten the
cable. Over-tightening may prevent the
auger from disengaging and compro-
mise the safety of the snow thrower.
Operating Tips
•
•
•
For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
5
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly
overlap each previous path.
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.
Set the skid shoes 1/4-inch 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 picked up
and thrown by the auger causing personal injury and/or
damage to the snow thrower.
4. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately
10 seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat
this several times.
•
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
Do not over-tighten the
cable. This may prevent the
auger from disengaging
and compromise
the safety of the snow
thrower.
6. Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows NO signs of motion.
•
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
IMPORTANT: 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
readjusting the auger control cable as shown in the
“Setup and Adjustment” section.
Cleaning The Chute Assembly
The clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of
the auger housing with a mounting clip. When snow and
ice collect in the chute assembly during operation, use
this tool to safely clean the chute and chute opening.
Stop engine by moving
throttle lever to stop posi-
tion and wait for all moving
parts to stop before using
the clean-out tool.
Clearing The Snow
CAUTION: Check the area to be cleared for foreign
objects. Remove, if any.
WARNING: Stop engine by moving
throttle lever to stop position and wait
for all moving parts to stop before using
the clean-out tool.
1. Start the engine following starting instructions.
1. Release both auger and drive controls.
2. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes as
the engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
2. Stop the engine by moving throttle lever to stop
position.
Never use your hands to
clean snow and ice from
the chute assembly or
auger housing.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures
it to the rear of the auger housing.
3. Rotate the chute assembly to the desired direction,
away from bystanders and/or buildings.
4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has
formed in and near the chute assembly.
4. Making certain no bystanders or obstacles are in
front of the unit, squeeze the auger control completely
against the upper handle to fully engage the augers.
When preparing to clear
snow, be sure to check
the area to be cleared for
foreign objects. Remove
objects, if any.
WARNING: Never use your hands to
clean snow and ice from the chute
assembly or auger housing.
5. While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the drive
control completely against the upper handle to engage
the wheels. Do not “feather” the drive control.
6. As the snow thrower begins to move, maintain a firm
hold on the handle, and guide the snow thrower along
the path to be cleared.
5. Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the
rear of the auger housing.
7. Release the auger and drive controls to stop the snow
throwing action and forward motion.
NOTE: Your unit is equipped with a clutch in the transmis-
sion. If the wheels stop turning while trying to discharge
large volumes of snow, immediately disengage the drive
control and allow the rotating augers to discharge snow
from the housing. Reduce the clearing width and continue
operation.
8. On each succeeding pass, readjust the chute
assembly to the desired position and slightly overlap
the previously cleared path.

MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY FOR
The limited warranty set forth below is given by MTD LLC with respect
to new merchandise purchased and used in the United States, its
possessions and territories.
e. MTD does not extend any warranty for products sold or exported
outside of the United States, its possessions and territories, except
those sold through MTD’s authorized channels of export distribution.
“MTD” warrants this product against defects in material and workman-
ship for a period of two (2) years commencing on the date of original
purchase and will, at its option, repair or replace, free of charge, any
part found to be defective in materials or workmanship. This limited war-
ranty shall only apply if this product has been operated and maintained
in accordance with the Operator’s Manual furnished with the product,
and has not been subject to misuse, abuse, commercial use, neglect,
accident, improper maintenance, alteration, vandalism, theft, fire, water,
or damage because of other peril or natural disaster. Damage resulting
from the installation or use of any part, accessory or attachment not
approved by MTD for use with the product(s) covered by this manual
will void your warranty as to any resulting damage.
Normal wear parts are warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase.
Normal wear parts include, but are not limited to items such as: batter-
ies, belts, blades, blade adapters, grass bags, rider deck wheels, seats,
snow thrower skid shoes, shave plates, auger spiral rubber and tires.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE: Warranty service is available, WITH
PROOF OF PURCHASE, through your local authorized service
dealer. To locate the dealer in your area, check your Yellow Pages,
or contact MTD LLC at P.O. Box 361131, Cleveland, Ohio 44136-

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of mer-
chantability of fitness for a particular purpose, applies after the
applicable period of express written warranty above as to the
parts as identified. No other express warranty, whether written or
oral, except as mentioned above, given by any person or entity,
including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any product, shall
bind MTD. During the period of the warranty, the exclusive remedy
is repair or replacement of the product as set forth above.
The provisions as set forth in this warranty provide the sole and
exclusive remedy arising from the sale. MTD shall not be liable
for incidental or consequential loss or damage including, without
limitation, expenses incurred for substitute or replacement lawn
care services or for rental expenses to temporarily replace a
warranted product.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.
In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the amount of the
purchase price of the product sold. Alteration of safety features of
the product shall void this warranty. You assume the risk and liability
for loss, damage, or injury to you and your property and/or to others and

This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than the original
purchaser or to the person for whom it was purchased as a gift.
HOW STATE LAW RELATES TO THIS WARRANTY: This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
This limited warranty does not provide coverage in the following cases:
a. The engine or component parts thereof. These items may carry a
separate manufacturer’s warranty. Refer to applicable manufacturer’s
warranty for terms and conditions.
b. Log splitter pumps, valves, and cylinders have a separate one year

c. Routine maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade
sharpening, tune-ups, brake adjustments, clutch adjustments, deck
