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. The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled by the discharge chute control lever.
OPERATION USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 14) In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may become clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool to dislodge this blockage. CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever when traction drive control lever is engaged. Damage to the snow thrower can result. • Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower.

OPERATION TO START ENGINE 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. 5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter rope to snap back. 6.
MAINTENANCE 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 1. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug. 2. Clean area around drain plug. 3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container. 4. Install drain plug and tighten securely. 5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine. 6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil).
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: To avoid serious injury, before performing any service or adjustments: 1. Be sure the on/off switch is in the OFF 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. SNOW THROWER 2. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TO REPLACE BELTS (See Fig. 21) 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 REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 22) • 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) TO ADJUST CABLE TENSION (See Fig. 23) Adjust cable tension by turning the adjuster turn buckle, located on the right hand cable.
STORAGE Immediately prepare your unit 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 (or ON/OFF switch is OFF). 5. Choke in OFF position. 6. Primer not depressed. 7. Engine is flooded. 8.
