IMPORTANT MANUAL Do Not Throw Away OWNER'S MANUAL MODEL NUMBER: PP208E24 SNOW THROWER WARNING: Read the Owner's Manual and follow all Warnings and Safety Instructions. Failure to do so can result in serious injury. Always Wear Eye Protection During Operation 428496 Rev 1 07.10.09 TH Printed in the U.S.A.
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 CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE (See Figs.
OPERATION TO THROW SNOW (See Fig. 13) The auger rotation is controlled by the auger control lever located on the right side handle. • Squeeze auger control lever to handle to engage the auger and throw snow. • Release the auger control lever to stop throwing snow. TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 15) SELF-PROPELLING, forward and reverse movement of the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control lever located on the left side handle.
OPERATION TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 16) 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.
MAINTENANCE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS LUBRICATION CHART 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. At least once a season, check to see if you should make any of the adjustments described in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
MAINTENANCE V-BELTS Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special construction and should be replaced by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) belts available from your nearest dealer.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS 3. Make sure the augers and all moving parts have completely stopped. 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.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TO REPLACE BELTS (See Fig. 20) 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 service center/department. NOTE: It is recommended that both the auger and traction drive belt be replaced at the same time.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TO ADJUST CABLE TENSION (See Fig. 22) Adjust cable tension by turning the adjuster turn buckle, located on the right hand cable. Grasp the long section tightly and turn the short section to lengthen the adjuster. Adjust until cable is snug. TO REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 21) • Remove the klik pin and remove wheel from axle. IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the innermost hole in axle and the wheel hub hole.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING See appropriate section in manual unless directed to an authorized service center/department. PROBLEM Does not start CAUSE 1. Fuel shut-off valve (if so equipped) in OFF position. 2. Safety ignition key is not inserted. 3. Out of fuel. 4. Throttle in STOP position 5. Choke in OFF position. 6. Primer not depressed. 7. Engine is flooded. 8. Spark plug wire is disconnected. 9. Bad spark plug. 10. Stale fuel. 11. Water in fuel. CORRECTION 1. Turn fuel shut-off valve to OPEN position. 2.
