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 used, one should be  
installed by a licensed electrician.  
WARNING: Read, understand, and follow  
all instructions and warnings on the machine  
and in this manual before operating.  
The spark plug wire was disconnected for safety  
purposes during assembly. Attach spark plug wire  
to spark plug before starting.  
Gas And Oil Fill-Up  
When connecting the power cord, always connect the  
cord to the starter on the engine first, then plug the  
other end into a three-hole grounded receptacle.  
IMPORTANT: Although your snow thrower comes  
shipped with oil already in the engine, you MUST check  
the engine oil level as instructed in the separate engine  
manual packed with your unit BEFORE starting the  
engine for the first time. Read instructions carefully.  
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug the  
end from the three-hole grounded receptacle first.  
To Start Engine  
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as  
instructed in the separate engine manual packed with  
your snow thrower. Read instructions carefully.  
IMPORTANT: If the unit shows any sign of motion  
(traction drive or augers) with the controls disengaged,  
shut the engine off immediately. Readjust as instructed  
under Final Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual.  
WARNING: Use extreme care when  
handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely  
flammable and the vapors are explosive.

The engine will not develop full power until it reaches  
operating temperature.  
WARNING: Muffler and surrounding areas  
of the engine become hot and can cause a  
burn. Do not touch.  
Recoil Starter: With the engine running, pull the  
starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke  
three or four times. Pulling the starter rope will pro-  
duce a clattering sound, which is not harmful to the  
engine or the recoil starter.  
To stop the engine, push the throttle control lever  
down to the stop position. Remove the ignition key  
by pulling it straight out of the keyhole and  
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug  
to prevent accidental starting while the equipment  
is unattended.

bolts and washers are reinstalled correctly. Also, make  
certain the skid shoes are adjusted so the flat surface is  
sitting level on the ground. The skid shoes can be  
rotated on this machine 180° so both flat surfaces of the  
skid shoe can be utilized for wear.  
Augers/Shear Bolts  
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two  
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. Refer to Figure 14. If you  
hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is  
designed so that the bolts may shear.  
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts have  
sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex lock  
nuts have been provided with the snow thrower. For  
future use, order kit number OEM-710-0890 which  
contains four replacement shear bolts and  
To remove the shave plate, remove the carriage bolts,
