Record your model name/number, manufacturer's identification numbers, and engine serial numbers in the space provided for easy access.
Features,Controls,& Operation Please take a moment and familiarize yourself with the name, location, and function of these controls so that you will better understand the safety and operating instructions provided in this manual \ t CONTROL LOCATIONS Manual Rotator Model Electric Rotator Model The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, and driving require the combined use of several controls appfied in specific sequences.
Features & Controls Auger r_ Control Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. the control stops the auger/impeller. Chute Direction Releasing Fuel tank filler cap (see illustration). Note: The fuel shut off valve is located under the fuel tank or on the front of the engine. Close the valve when the snowthrower is not in use. Open the valve before starting. Control Models with Electric Chute Rotator: Depressing the chute rotator switch rotates the chute left or right.
Operation GENERAL OPERATION CHECKS WARNING BEFORE EACH START-UP This unit is a "two-stage" snowthrower. The first stage is the auger, which feeds the snow back into the impeller housing. The second stage is the impeller, which throws the snow out the discharge chute. If bodily contact is made with the auger or impeller when they are rotating, severe personal injury will occur. 1. Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts, bolts and clips are secure. 2.
Operation STARTING CONTROLS See Figure 1for the following instructions. Units A, with Optional Electric Start Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter handle. The Electric Start Button operates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by connection to the extension cord provided with units equipped with this feature. Connect this extension cord ONLY to a properly grounded 3 prong electrical outlet.
Operation OPERATING THE SNOWTHROWER WARNING 1. Rotate the discharge chute to the desired direction. When BOTH levers are depressed, the FreeHand TM Control is activated. This allows Auger Engage Control to be released -- YET AUGER ROTATION WILL CONTINUE -- until the FreeHand TM Control is released. 2. Set the speed selector to the desired forward speed. 3. Fully press and hold the auger engage control (C, Figure 2) on the right-hand grip to begin auger rotation.
Operation DEFLECTOR The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled by the position of the deflector. (Engine speed also affects distance of discharge.) The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will be thrown. Models with Chute Deflector Knob See Figure 3. 1. Loosen the deflector knob, tilt the deflector UP or DOWN. 2. Retighten the knob when desired angle has been chosen. Figure 3. Chute Deflector Adjustment (Some Models) A. Chute Deflector Knob B.
Operation FULL TRACTION EASY TURN _r'_ TM TRACTION "_EasyTurn Easy TurnTM Lever Lever Released Both Wheels TM Engaged Right Wheel Freewheels, Left Wheel Drives Drive i Figure 6. Easy Turn Control EASY TURN TRACTION While Clearing TM FREEWHEELING AND DRIVE LOCK Snow: For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn TM lever (Figure 6). Engaging the Easy Turn TM lever releases the right traction wheel but allows the left wheel to continue driving (Figure 6).
Storage AFTER EACH USE WARNING Normal use of the snowthrower may result in a build-up of packed snow in and around the starter cord housing and around engine controls. Heat from the engine will usually prevent the snow from freezing solid while the unit is running, but after the engine is shut down, some snow may continue melting from engine heat, and later freeze around some moving parts as the unit cools.
RegularMaintenance MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FREQUENCY NOTES Check auger gear case lubrication.** 25 Hours Winter Weight Worm Gear Oil Lubricate 10 Hours snowthrower. Check tire pressure. Change Monthly engine oil.*+ Clean or replace spark plug.+ Check drive linkage/belt Lubricate Axle Shafts. Check / Lubricate Lubricate tension. 10W Oil and Grease 20 psi (1.37 bar) 50 Hours+ See Engine Manual Yearly See Engine Manual 4-6 Hours N/A Yearly Free-Hand Linkage.
Regular Maintenance LUBRICATION IMPORTANT NOTE It is very important that grease fittings on the auger shaft are lubricated regularly. If auger rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur if shear pins do not break. To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also necessary to remove the wheels and grease the axles regularly. Remove wheels and grease axles once each year. Figure 10. Chute Lubrication Apply medium weight (10W) oil to points shown (See Figures 10-13).
RegularMaintenance CHECK / LUBRICATE LINKAGE FREE-HAND Check the function of the Free-Hand controls: the controls should function as described in the CONTROLS section. It is critical for the safe operation of the unit that the controls disengage when released. If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them. If lubrication does not rectify the problem, see your dealer. Under no circumstances should the unit be used if the controls are not functioning properly. Figure 14.

Troubleshooting, Adjustments, Service TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING This section provides troubleshooting and service instructions• Locate the problem and check the possible cause/remedy in the order listed• Also, refer to the engine manufacturer's for additional information• Before performing any adjustment or service to snowthrower, stop the engine and wait for moving parts to stop. Remove the key. To prevent accidental starting, disconnect the spark plug wire and fasten away from the plug.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY 1. Chute deflector too low. 1. Adjust deflector as necessary. 2. Engine speed too slow• 2. Set speed to full throttle• 3. Ground speed too fast• 3. Use slower speed selector setting• 4. Snowthrower discharge chute clogged• 4.. STOP engine and REMOVE the key. DISCONNECT the spark plug wire. Clear auger using clean-out tool. See warning in SAFETY RULES• 5. Auger belt loose or worn• 5. Check auger drive belt adjustment Poor traction 1.
Adjustments SPEED SELECTOR ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen the two nuts (C, Figure 17). 2. Place the shift lever in 5th gear. 3. Push the lower rod into the housing and tighten the two nuts (C). Do not lift up or down on rods while tightening. Make sure the shoulders of the carriage bolts (B) are in the slots. 4. Always check traction drive tension and auger drive tension after adjusting speed selector. AUGER DRIVE TENSION WARNING Figure 17. Speed Selector Linkage A. Shift Rod B. Carriage Bolts C.
Adjustments TRACTION DRIVE TENSION Initial Adjustment 1.With the drive lever released there should be no slack in the cable when moved slightly from side to side, but bellcrank arm remains in fully down position. 1. To adjust tension on the cable loosen adjustment hex nut (D, Figure 19) by holding the adjusting flats (A). Turn the adjustment screw. The adjustment screw is a phillips screw and the head can be held or turned by inserting a screwdriver through the traction drive clutch cable spring O 3.
Adjustments MANUAL DISCHARGE CHUTE CONTROL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT Pinion Gear Adjustment If the discharge chute is difficult to operate, first lubricate the pinion gear (A, Figure 20) and ring gear (F). If it is still difficult to operate, adjust as follows: NOTE: If the discharge chute will not stay in position, adjust the pinion gear (,4) closer to the ring gear (F). 1. Loosen the nut (G, Figure 20) which holds the pinion gear bracket in the slotted hole. 2.
Adjustments & Service EASY TURN TM CABLE ADJUSTMENT If the Easy Turn TM cable has stretched, the gears will not disengage when the control lever is activated. Adjust the cable using the following procedure. 1. Turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug wire. 2. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 23). 3. Turn the adjustment nut (A) to lengthen or shorten the cable.
Adjustments & Service BELT REPLACEMENT 1. Turn off the engine, remove the spark plug wire, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Rotate the spout full right. Loosen the two screws (B, Figure 25) securing the belt cover. 2. Tilt the cover forward and work it off the snowthrower. 3. Move the belt guides (B, Figure 26) by loosening the two capscrews (A). 4. Remove the auger drive belt as follows: a.
Service 6. Reverse the procedure to install the belts. Be sure there are no twists and the belts are properly seated in the grooves. Adjust the belt stops so there is 1/8" (3mm) clearance between belt and stop. The pattern for both belts is shown in Figure 28. Slide the right axle left fully before tightening the set collar (E, Figure 27). 7. Check the traction drive tension and auger drive tension. Follow the procedures under AUGER/TRACTION DRIVE TENSION.
