IMPORTANT Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Snow Throwers This snow thrower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury. WARNING: Snow throwers have exposed rotating parts, which can cause severe injury from contact, or from material thrown from the discharge chute. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, small children and pets at all times including startup.
6. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow thrower, stop the engine and make certain the collector/impeller 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. 8.

OPERATION TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 13) The choke control is located on the engine. Use the choke control whenever you are starting a cold engine. Do not use to start a warm engine. • To engage choke, turn knob clockwise. Slowly turn knob counterclockwise to disengage. The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
OPERATION TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 17) SELF-PROPELLING, forward and reverse movement of the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control lever located on the left side handle. • Squeeze traction drive control lever to handle to engage the drive system. • Release traction drive control lever to stop the forward or reverse movement of the snow thrower. SPEED and DIRECTION are controlled by the drive speed control lever.
OPERATION • TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 19) 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 for current surface conditions.
OPERATION 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. • Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a licensed electrician. 6.
• • • • For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow removal by overlapping previous path and moving slowly. Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life. After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine. Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use. WARNING: Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions impair visibility.
MAINTENANCE SNOW THROWER Always observe safety rules when performing maintenance. TIRES • Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14–17 P.S.I. / 19-24.5 N-m). • Keep tires free of gasoline / oil, which can harm rubber. NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: To avoid serious injury, before performing any service or adjustments: 1. Be sure throttle is in STOP position. 2. Remove safety ignition key. 3. Make sure the augers and all moving parts have completely stopped. 4. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug. 1. Disengage all controls and move throttle control to STOP position. Wait for all moving parts to stop. 2.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TO REPLACE BELTS (See Fig. 24) The auger and traction drive belts are not adjustable. If the belts are damaged or begin to slip from wear, they should be replaced. It is recommended that the belt(s) be replaced by a qualified service center. NOTE: It is recommended that both the auger and traction drive belt be replaced at the same time.
TO REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 25) • Remove the klik pin and remove wheel from axle. IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the axle hole closest to the end of the shaft – do not use the hole in the wheel hub (if equipped). Inner hole in axle and hole in wheel hub are not used for your model snow thrower. KLIK PIN (INSTALL IN OUTER HOLE OF AXLE ONLY) OUTER HOLE AXLE WHEEL HUB WHEEL FIG.
