6. Whencleaning,repairingorinspectingthesnowthrower,  
stop the engine and make certain the collector/impel-  
ler 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  
engine.  
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.  
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.  
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.  
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.  
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.  
9. Neveroperatethesnowthrowerwithoutproperguards,  
and other safety protective devices in place and work-  
ing.  
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.  
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas  
where property damage can occur. Keep children and  
others away.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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.

OPERATION  
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)  
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open flame.  
NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be  
used to adjust the skid plates.  
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing  
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the  
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called  
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-  
tract moisture which leads to separation and  
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas  
can damage the fuel system of an engine while  
in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel  
system should be emptied before storage of  
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start  
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines  
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next  
season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional  
information. Never use engine or carburetor  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.  
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 1/8" clearance between the scraper  
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface  
to be cleared is uneven.  
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower  
overgravelorrockysurfaces.Objectssuchasgravel,rocks  
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the  
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property  
damage or damage to the snow thrower.  
If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,  
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted  
to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)  
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from  
the factory, already filled with oil.  
TO START ENGINE  
Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position.  
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt  
A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter  
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is  
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.  
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.  
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  
“FULLmark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.  
Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire  
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a  
licensed electrician.  
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”  
in the Maintenance section of this manual.  
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18)  
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.  
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-  
fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with  
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.  
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30  
days to assure fuel freshness.

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.  
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts  
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.  
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.  
2. Place throttle control in FAST position.  
3. Rotate choke control to FULL position.  
4. Connect the power cord to the engine.  
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or  
use the electric starter.  
5. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole  
grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.  
6. Push the primer three (3) times.  
7. Push starter button until engine starts.  
SNOW THROWING TIPS  
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at  
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.  
Goslowerindeep,freezingorheavywetsnow.Usethe  
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, 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.  
IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five con-  
tinuous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait  
5 to 10 seconds between each attempt.  
8. When the engine starts, release the starter button and  
slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.  
9. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first,  
then from the engine.  
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will  
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-  
ing temperature.  
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all  
snow will be removed.  
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER  
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.  
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the  
OFF position.  
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow  
conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this  
section of this manual.  
Forextremelyheavysnow,reducethewidthofsnowre-  
movalbyoverlappingpreviouspathandmovingslowly.  
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This  
will help air flow and extend engine life.  
Aftersnow-throwingiscompleted,allowenginetorunfor  
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.  
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER  
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts  
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.  
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.  
2. Place throttle control in FAST position.  
3. Rotate choke control to FULL position.  
4. Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is  
below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between  
15° and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is  
not necessary.  
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each  
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.  
WARNING: Do not operate snow  
throwerifweatherconditionsimpairvis-  
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,  
windysnowstormcan blind you and be  
hazardous to the safe operation of the  
snow thrower.  
NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the  
engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few  
minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the  
primer.  
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter  
rope to snap back.  
6. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter  
handle and slowly move the choke control to the OFF  
position.  
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will  
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-  
ing temperature.  
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER  
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF  
position. DO NOT push the primer.  
BEFORE STOPPING  
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-  
ture on the engine.

case.  
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1  
grease.  
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM  
DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow  
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction  
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings  
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.  
2. Clean area around drain plug.  
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.  
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.  
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
NOTE: To seal punctures or prevent flat tires due to slow  
ENGINE SPEED  
leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts  
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.  
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set  
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above  
the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will  
void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high  
speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center,  
which has proper equipment and experience to make any  
necessary adjustments.  
ENGINE  
See engine manual.  
CARBURETOR  
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance  
should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134  
meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to  
suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower  
to a qualified service center.  
STORAGE  
Immediately prepare your unit for storage at the end of the  
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.  
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting  
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.  
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in  
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.  
WARNING: Never store the snow  
throwerwithgasolineinthetankinside  
a building where fumes may reach an  
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a  
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or  
gasappliance. Allowtheenginetocool  
before storing in any enclosure.  
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 drain 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).  
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE-  
PLACEBELTSintheServiceandAdjustmentssection  
of this manual).  
3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this  
manual.  
ENGINE OIL  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine  
oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this  
manual).  
CYLINDER  
1. Remove spark plug.  
2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole  
into cylinder.  
3. Pullrecoilstarterhandleslowlyafewtimestodistribute  
oil.  
4. Besurethatallnuts,bolts,screws,andpinsaresecurely  
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage  
and wear. Replace if necessary.  
4. Replace with new spark plug.  
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
OTHER  
Remove safety ignition key; store it 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  
See engine manual.  
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. Also, alcohol blended  
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can  
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation  
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel  
system of an engine while in storage.  
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/ex-  
haust area is still warm.
