Preparation
where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light
(e.g. furnace, water heater, space heater, clothes
dryer etc.).
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used. Remove all door mats, newspapers, sleds,
boards, wires and other foreign objects which could be
tripped over or thrown by the auger/impeller.
2. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during
operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can
cause serious injury to the eyes.
j. Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before
storing.
Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts, in the auger/
impeller housing or discharge chute. Contact with the
rotating parts can amputate hands and feet.
3. Do not operate without wearing adequate winter outer
garments. Do not wear jewelry, long scarves or other
loose clothing which could become entangled in moving
parts. Wear footwear which will improve footing on
slippery surfaces.
4. Use a grounded three wire extension cord and receptacle
for all units with electric start engines.
5. Adjust collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed
rock surfaces.
6. Disengage all clutch levers before starting the engine.
7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while engine is
running, except where specifically recommended in the
operator’s manual.
2. The auger/impeller clutch lever is a safety device. Never
bypass its operation. Doing so, makes the machine
unsafe and may cause personal injury.
3. The clutch levers must operate easily in both directions
and automatically return to the disengaged position when
released.
4. Never operate with a missing or damaged discharge
chute. Keep all safety devices in place and working.
5. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated
area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas.

6. Do not operate machine while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
7. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do
not touch.
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel surfaces. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
9. Exercise caution when changing direction and while
operating on slopes.
10. Plan your snow throwing pattern to avoid discharge
towards windows, walls, cars etc. To avoid property
damage or personal injury caused by a ricochet.
11. Never direct discharge at children, bystanders and pets
or allow anyone in front of the machine.
12. Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear
snow at too fast of a rate.
13. Never operate this machine without good visibility or
light. Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold
on the handles. Walk, never run.
14. Disengage power to the auger/impeller when
transporting or not in use.
15. Never operate machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Look down and behind and use care
when in reverse.
16. If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine, disconnect the spark plug and ground it against
the engine. Inspect thoroughly for damage. Repair any
damage before starting and operating.
17. Disengage all clutch levers and stop engine before you
leave the operating position (behind the handles). Wait
until the auger/impeller comes to a complete stop before
unclogging the discharge chute, making any
adjustments, or inspections.
18. Never put your hand in the discharge or collector
openings. Always use a clearing tool to unclog the
discharge opening.
19. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the
manufacturer (e.g. wheel weights, tire chains, cabs etc.).
20. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual,
use care and good judgment. Contact your dealer or
telephone 1-800-528-1009 for assistance and the name
of your nearest servicing dealer.
Maintenance & Storage
1. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
2. Disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until
the auger/impeller come to a complete stop. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to
prevent unintended starting before cleaning, repairing, or
inspecting.
3. Check bolts, and screws for proper tightness at frequent
intervals to keep the machine in safe working condition.
Also, visually inspect machine for any damage.
4. Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed
the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine.
5. Snow thrower shave plates and skid shoes are subject to
wear and damage. For your safety protection, frequently
check all components and replace with original
equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts only. “Use of
parts which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!”
6. Check clutch controls periodically to verify they engage
and disengage properly and adjust, if necessary. Refer to
the adjustment section in this operator’s manual for
instructions.
7. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
8. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas,
oil, etc. to protect the environment.
9. Prior to storing, run machine a few minutes to clear snow
from machine and prevent freeze up of auger/impeller.
10. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as a water
heater, furnace ,clothes dryer etc.
11. Always refer to the operator’s manual for proper
instructions on off-season storage.

Your snow thrower uses a two cycle engine that
requires a mixture of gasoline and two cycle engine
oil. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for proper oil
and fuel recommendations.
•
•
Adjust the upper discharge chute up or down as
shown in Figure 10. Then use the chute crank to
position the discharge chute in order to discharge
snow with the wind.
After making sure no bystanders or obstacles are in
front of the unit, engage the auger control handle.
See Figure 11. As the snow thrower starts to move,
maintain a firm hold on the handle, and guide the
snow thrower along the path to be cleared.
Release the auger control handle to stop the snow
throwing action and the forward motion.

under any conditions.
If your home electrical system is grounded, but
a three-hole receptacle is not available, one should
be installed by a licensed electrician before using
the electric starter.

Stopping Engine
•
Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry any moisture on the engine.
To stop engine: Turn ignition key to OFF position
and remove it from the snow thrower.
•
IMPORTANT: Keep the ignition key in a safe place.
Engine will not start without it.

•
Wipe all snow and moisture from the unit. Move the
choke lever back and forth several times and leave
it in the ON position.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will
result in premature wear on the rubber auger blades
which would not be covered by warranty.
•
Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry any moisture on the engine.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
Operating Tips
•
•
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previously cleared path.
Lifting up on the handle will allow the rubber on the
augers to propel the snow thrower forward. Pushing
downward on the handle will raise the augers off
the ground and stop the forward motion.
WARNING: Muffler, engine and surrounding
areas become hot and can cause a burn. Do
not touch.
•
SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: NEVER attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running, except
where specified in the operator’s manual.
Shave Plate
•
To check the adjustment of the shave plate, place
the unit on a level surface. See Figure 12. The
wheels, shave plate and augers should all contact
level surface. Note that if the shave plate is
adjusted too high, snow may blow under the
housing. If the shave plate wears out excessively,
or the unit will not self-propel, the shave plate may
be adjusted too low.
Nuts & Bolts
Figure 13
NOTE: On new units or units with a new shave plate
installed, the augers may be slightly off the ground.
Belt Tension
Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be required
due to normal stretch and wear on the belt. If augers
hesitate while turning although engine maintains same
speed, adjust tension following instructions below.
•
The upper hole in the control handle provides
adjustment for belt tension. To adjust, disconnect
the “Z” end of control cable from the bottom hole in
the control handle. See Figure 14 . Hook the cable
into the upper hole in control handle as shown.
