Operation 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Starting the Engine 4. Check the snow discharge chute by turning it fully in both directions. The discharge chute should rotate freely. Read instructions carefully. WARNING 1. Make sure the engine safety key is inserted into the key hole (Fig. 13A). Ensure the R pin is positioned as shown in Fig. 12B. 2. Move the fuel valve lever to the on position (Fig. 13A). 3. Move choke lever depending on unit’s temperature (Fig. 13A): OPERATION 3a.
Operation 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower 6. Stand back and to the right of the unit, pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently (Fig. 13C). WARNING Never fill fuel tank indoors, with engine running, or until the engine has been allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes after running. CAUTION To prevent damaging the electric starter, do run it not more than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off.
Operation 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Adjusting the Snow Discharge Direction and Height Self drive control handle Change discharge direction: Auger control handle Turn the lever counter-clockwise – the snow discharge guide turns to the left. Turn the lever clockwise – the snow discharge guide turns to the right. Figure 14 Change discharge height: Drive System 1. Loosen the locking knob to adjust the snow discharge deflector to a suitable height (Fig. 16).
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Adjusting the Snow Shoes CAUTION Set the height of the auger housing above the ground using the shoes. Do not at any time make any adjustment to machine without first stopping the engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire. Adjust the shoes to suit the ground conditions: –– On flat ground, e.g. asphalt, the shoes should be adjusted to about 1⁄5 in. (5 mm) (the distance from the auger to the ground) (Fig. 17A).
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower EACH USE WARNING Check oil level Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when refueling. EVERY MONTH OR 20 HOURS –– Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Change oil –– Refuel only outdoors. EVERY 6 MONTHS OR 100 HOURS –– Gasoline is poisonous, be careful not to touch or breathe in the vapor. Change oil Check/clean spark plug Clean spark arrester Engine Oil Level Check 1.
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Oil Change Drain the engine oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely. 1. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel spillage. 2. Place a suitable container below the snowblower to catch the used oil. 3. Remove the drain bolt and drain the oil into the container by slightly tipping the engine toward the oil cap/dipstick (Fig. 20).
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Adjusting Auger Control Cable Replace Traction Drive Belt - Splitting The Snowblower Body Check the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. Make sure that the tension on the auger control cable is adjusted so it has between 1⁄4-3⁄8 in. (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. This movement can be acquired by measuring the distance the engagement paddle moves from its starting position and the point it becomes taut and starts to engage the auger.
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower 3. Remove the 2 bolts (20 mm/30 mm) holding the belt guard (Fig. 24D). Note the spring is loose at this point. Figure 26B 7. Slip the new auger drive belt into the compartment from the bottom of the snowblower placing it around the bottom of the auger drive pulley and slipping it around the front pulley on the engine. Ensure the belt is positioned between the bottom belt guard and the bottom of the auger drive pulley.
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower 8. Ensure belt is seated below the belt guide on the idler pulley pivot arm (Fig. 28). 11. Reassemble the support rod by pushing back into place and ensure that it is properly engaged into the friction disc assembly and replace the washer and clip (Fig. 31). Figure 28 Figure 31 9. With the belt properly placed on both the front pulley and the auger drive pulley, pull the auger idler pulley back away from the belt and slip the belt inside the pulley.
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Repair or Replace Friction Disk 3. Remove the right wheel (2) by removing the axle pin on it (Fig. 33C). NOTICE 2 If the snowblower fails to drive with the drive control engaged, and performing the drive control cable adjustment fails to correct the problem, the friction disc may need to be replaced. Tools required: –– Size 10 wrench (included). –– Size 17 wrench (not included).
Maintenance 100434 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Storage 6. Unscrew the six M6 × 16 bolts (6) of the friction disc assembly to discard the worn friction wheel rubber ring (7) and replace with a new one (Fig. 35). Never store the machine with gasoline in the fuel tank in a confined area with bad ventilation. Gasoline fumes could reach open flames, sparks and cigarettes etc.
