and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug
to prevent someone from accidentally starting the en-
gine.
7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting
the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or
out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust
fumes are dangerous.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Handcontactwiththerotatingimpellerinsidethedischarge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis-
charge chute. To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes
dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.
9. Neveroperatethesnowthrowerwithoutproperguards,
and other safety protective devices in place and work-
ing.
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas
where property damage can occur. Keep children
and others away.
11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting
to clear snow at too fast a rate.
12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
operating in reverse.
13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.
14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel
weights, counterweights, or cabs).
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
15. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 13)
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool to
dislodge this blockage.
•
Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain all controls are disengaged and the
auger/impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
keep the wire away from the spark plug to pre-
vent accidental starting.
NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers
are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the
auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow
you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust
the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow

for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a 5 mm clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.

•
Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 17)
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se-
riouspersonalinjuryordamagetoyour
snow thrower could result.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert
the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

ture on the engine.
IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much
rope out of the starter as possible.
2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or
use the electric starter.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
•
Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to
adjust speed.
•
•
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-
diately after it falls.
The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
•
•
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.

CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep snow thrower
housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your
snow thrower after each use.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F/0°C. Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.
WARNING: Removesafetyignitionkey
and disconnect spark plug wire from
spark plug and place wire where it can-
not come in contact with plug.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least
once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours
in one year.

Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-
imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
SNOW THROWER
When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,
clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.
Store in a clean, dry area.
1. Clean entire snow thrower (See “CLEANING” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-
gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of
this manual).
CYLINDER
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE-
PLACEBELTS”intheServiceandAdjustmentssection

OTHER
•
•
•
Remove safety ignition key; store in a safe place.
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
•
•
If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover
it to protect it from dust and dirt.
Cover your snow thrower with a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe, which allows condensation to
form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
carburetor, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-
nol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-
age the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/
exhaust area is still warm.
