Skid Shoes

The space between the skid shoes and the ground can

be adjusted. See Figure 6.

• For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise

skid shoes higher on the auger housing.

• Use a middle or lower position when the area to be

cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.

Making

Adjustments

To adjust the skid shoes:

1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and

carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position.

2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is

against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid

shoes.

3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Figure 6

Chute Bracket Adjustment

If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control

is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute

bracket can be adjusted. To do so:

1. loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket

and reposition it slightly. See Figure 7.

WARNING

2. Retightening the nuts.

Loose gravel can be picked

up and thrown by the auger,

causing injury to the operator

and bystanders and/or

damage to the snow thrower

and surrounding property.

Tire Pressure

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pres-

sure to between 15 psi and 20 psi.

If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may

pull to one side or the other.

auger pulley. Reassemble auger belt by following

instructions in reverse order.

NOTE: Although

multi-viscosity oils

(5W30, 10W30 etc.)

improve starting in cold

weather, these multi-

viscosity oils also result

in higher oil consump-

tion when used above

32ºF. Check your snow

thrower’s engine oil

level more frequently to

avoid possible engine

damage from running

low on oil.

NOTE: Do NOT forget to reinstall the shoulder screw

and reconnect the spring to the frame after installing a

replacement auger belt.

NOTE: Do not sand-

blast spark plug. Spark

plug should be cleaned

by scraping or wire

brushing and washing

with a commercial

solvent.

IMPORTANT

NEVER replace the

auger shear pins with

standard pins. Any

damage to the auger

gearbox or other com-

ponents, as a result of

doing so, will NOT be

covered by your snow

thrower’s warranty.

Augers

• The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two

shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike a

foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed

so that the pins may shear. Refer to Figure 9.

• If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have

sheared. One set of replacement shear pins has been

provided with the snow thrower. When replacing pins,

spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new

pins.

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 posses-

sions 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 workmanship

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 warranty 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: batteries,

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 44136-0019, or

call 1-800-800-7310 or 1-330-220-4683 or log on to our Web site at

www.mtdproducts.com.

f. Replacement parts that are not genuine MTD parts.

g. Transportation charges and service calls.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchant-

ability of fitness for a particular purpose, applies after the applicable

period of express written warranty above as to the parts as identi-

fied. 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 their

property arising out of the misuse or inability to use the product.

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 war-

ranty 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

warranty.

c. Routine maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade

sharpening, tune-ups, brake adjustments, clutch adjustments, deck

adjustments, and normal deterioration of the exterior finish due to use

or exposure.

IMPORTANT: Owner must present Original Proof of Purchase to obtain

warranty coverage.

d. Service completed by someone other than an authorized service

dealer.
