WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with
a three-wire power cord and plug, and is designed
to operate on 120 volt AC household current. It
must be properly grounded at all times to avoid the
possibility of electric shock which may be injurious
to the operator. Follow all instructions carefully.
Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not certain. If your house wiring system is not a
three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric
starter under any conditions. If your system is
grounded and a three-hole receptacle is not
available at the point your starter will normally be

engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid,
continuous full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering
sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.
3. To stop engine, remove the ignition key. Do not
turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from
the spark plug to prevent accidental starting
while equipment is unattended.
NOTE: Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a safe
place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.
4. Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the control levers. Also,
move control levers back and forth several
times. Leave throttle control lever in the STOP
or OFF position. Leave choke control in the
FULL choke position.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few
minutes as the engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperature.
WARNING: Temperature of muffler
and surrounding areas may exceed
o
150 F. Avoid these areas.
1. For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
2. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
3. Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar
for normal usage. The skid shoes may be
adjusted upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the
Assembly Instructions to adjust the traction drive
clutch. If you are uncertain that you have reached
the correct adjustment, the adjustment can be
physically checked as follows.
To adjust the auger clutch, refer to the Final
Adjustments section page 9.
With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain the gasoline or place plastic film under the gas
cap if the snow thrower has already been operated),
remove the frame cover underneath the snow
thrower by removing four self-tapping screws.
With the traction drive clutch released, there must
be clearance between the friction wheel and the
drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. With the
traction drive clutch engaged, the friction wheel
must contact the drive plate. See figure 17.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock nut on
the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or
out as necessary. Tighten the lock nut to secure the
cable when correct adjustment is reached.
Reassemble the frame cover.
SHIFT ROD ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the shift rod, remove the hairpin clip and
flat washer which secure the ferrule to the shift
lever, beneath the handle panel. Refer to figure 9.
Refer to the Final Adjustments section page 9.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: If any adjustments are
made to the engine while the engine is
running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of
all moving parts. Be careful of heated
surfaces and muffler.
NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with
your unit for carburetor adjustment information.

Oil or spray lubricant into axle bearings at the
housing at least once a season.
TRACTION DRIVE/AUGER CLUTCH LOCK
CHUTE CRANK
The cams on the ends of the control rods which
interlock the traction drive and auger drive clutches
must be lubricated at least once a season or every
twenty-five hours of operation. The cams can be
accessed beneath the handle panel. Use a multi-
purpose automotive grease.
The gear on the end of the chute crank should be
greased with multi-purpose automotive grease once
a season.
AUGER SHAFT
At least once a season, remove shear bolts on
auger shaft. Oil or spray lubricant inside shaft. See
figure 18. Also lubricate the auger bearings at least
once a season.
GEAR CASE
The gear case is lubricated with grease at the
factory and does not require checking. If
disassembled for any reason, lubricate with 2
ounces of Shell Alvania grease EPR00, part number
737-0168. Before reassembling, remove old sealant
and apply “Loctite 5699” or equivalent.

SECTION 11: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) 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 carburetor. Do not drain carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
WARNING: Never store engine with
fuel in tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may
reach an open flame, spark or pilot
light as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel
tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on
these parts and causing possible malfunction of
engine.
2. Remove spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of
engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder.
Crank engine several times to distribute oil.
Replace spark plug.
3. Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and
equipment.
a. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and
engine stops due to lack of fuel.
b. Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl
drain, located below the carburetor cover.
4. Follow lubrication recommendations on page 14.
5. Store in a clean, dry area.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment
in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care
should be taken to rust proof the equipment. Using
a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially
any chains, springs, bearings and cables.
WARNING: Drain fuel into approved container
outdoors, away from open flame. Be certain
engine is cool. Do not smoke. Fuel left in engine
during warm weather deteriorates and will cause
serious starting problems.

option, repair or replace, for the original purchaser,
free of charge, any part or parts found to be
defective in material or workmanship. This warranty
covers units which have been operated and
maintained in accordance with the operating
instructions furnished with the unit, and which have
not been subject to misuse, abuse, commercial use,
neglect, accident, improper maintenance or
alteration.
Units exported out of the United States: MTD
PRODUCTS INC does not extend any warranty
for products sold or exported outside of the United
States of America, its possessions and territories,
except those sold through MTD PRODUCTS INC’s

separate warranties from their manufacturers.
Please refer to the applicable manufacturer’s
warranty on these items.
2. *Batteries are covered by a 90-day replacement
warranty.
3. Log splitter pumps, valves and cylinders or
component parts thereof are covered by a one
year warranty.
4. All other warranties, express or implied,
including any implied warranty of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose, are hereby
expressly disclaimed in their entirety.
5. The provisions as set forth in this warranty
provide the sole and exclusive remedy of MTD
PRODUCTS INC’s obligations arising from the
sales of its products. MTD PRODUCTS INC will
not be liable for incidental or consequential loss
or damage.
Normal wear parts or components thereof are
subject to separate terms as noted below in the “No
Fault Ninety Day Consumer Warranty” clause.
All normal wear part failures will be covered on this
product for a period of 90 days regardless of cause.
After 90 days, but within the two year period, normal

limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state. Certain disclaimers are not allowed in
some states and therefore they may not apply to
you under all circumstances.
NOTE: This warranty does not cover routine
maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade
sharpening and tune-ups, or adjustments such as

adjustments. Nor does this warranty cover normal
