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 The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your snow thrower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles. 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.
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. TO THROW SNOW (See Fig. 15) The auger rotation is controlled by the auger control lever located on the right side handle.
OPERATION BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE 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 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 operating temperature. WARM START - RECOIL STARTER Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the “OFF” position. DO NOT push the primer.
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION CHART GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as instructed in this manual. Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.
MAINTENANCE TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil change. All oil must meet API service classification SG–SL. • Be sure snow thrower is on level surface. • Oil will drain more freely when warm. • Catch oil in a suitable container. NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and placement of a suitable container.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS To replace the capscrew/shear bolts: 1. Disengage all controls and move throttle control to STOP position. Wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come in contact with spark plug. 3. Align holes in impeller hub with holes in impeller shaft and install two (2) new 1/4-20 x 1-5/8" capscrew/shear bolts. Install 1/4-20 locknuts and tighten securely.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS HINT: Insert a 3/8" drive ratchet (in the “ON” position) into the square hole in idler arm and rotate ratchet clockwise to relieve tension. 8. With tension relieved on idler, install new traction drive belt around pulleys and inside belt keepers. 9. Place auger belt around and inside the groove of auger pulley only. 10.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS ENGINE 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) See engine manual. CARBURETOR Your carburetor is not adjustable.
STORAGE Immediately prepare your snow thrower 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. • Use fresh fuel next season. NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
