Filling the Fuel Tank DANGER Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others. Figure 17 1. Snow cleanout tool (attached to the handle) • To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or machine on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object. Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. • Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
PAGE 14
Starting the Engine 1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to Checking the Engine Oil Level in Maintenance. 2. Turn the fuel shutoff valve 1/4 turn counterclockwise to open it (Figure 21). Figure 21 g018889 Figure 20 1. 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) 3. Insert the ignition key (Figure 22). g018890 Figure 22 1.

Operating the Traction Drive CAUTION If you leave the machine plugged into a power outlet, someone can inadvertently start the machine and injure people or damage property. CAUTION If the traction drive is not properly adjusted, the machine may move in the direction opposite of what you intended, causing injury and/or property damage. Unplug the power cord whenever you are not starting the machine.
PAGE 17
Operating the Auger/Impeller Drive 1. To engage the auger/ impeller drive, squeeze the right hand (auger/ impeller) lever to the handgrip (Figure 31). Figure 32 Moving the Discharge Chute Figure 31 Hold the blue trigger cap down and move the Quick Stick to the left to move the discharge chute to the left; move the Quick Stick to the right to move the discharge chute to the right (Figure 33). 2. To stop the auger and impeller, release the right hand lever.

from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove all ice and snow from the machine. • With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle several times and push the electric-starter button once to prevent the recoil and electric starters from freezing up. Operating Tips DANGER When the machine is in operation, the impeller and auger rotate and can injure or amputate hands or feet.
PAGE 19
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 2 hours • Inspect the traction cable and adjust it if necessary. • Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust it if necessary. After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • Check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
PAGE 20
Checking and Adjusting the Skids and Scraper Yearly—Inspect the traction cable and adjust or replace it if necessary. If the machine does not drive in the forward or reverse speeds or it drives when you release the traction lever, adjust the traction cable. Service Interval: Yearly—Check the skids and the scraper and adjust them if necessary. Check the skids and the scraper to ensure that the auger does not contact the paved or gravel surface.
PAGE 21
Checking and Adjusting the Auger/Impeller Cable Checking the Auger Gearbox Oil Level Service Interval: After the first 2 hours—Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust it if necessary. Service Interval: Yearly—Check the auger gearbox oil and add oil if necessary. 1. Move the machine to a level surface. Yearly—Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust or replace it if necessary. 2. Clean the area around the pipe plug (Figure 41). 1. Loosen the jam nut. 2.
PAGE 22
Changing the Engine Oil 5. Fill the crankcase with oil. Refer to Filling the Engine Crankcase with Oil. Service Interval: After the first 5 hours—Change the engine oil. Lubricating the Hex Shaft Every 25 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first)—Change the engine oil. Service Interval: Yearly—Lubricate the hex shaft. If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil because warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
PAGE 23
6. Move the speed selector lever to Position 6. 7. Lubricate the other end of the hex shaft. 8. Move the speed selector lever forward and rearward a few times. 9. Install the back cover and return the machine to the operating position. Replacing the Spark Plug Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Replace the spark plug. Use a Champion QC12YC or equivalent spark plug. Note: To access the spark plug, you must first remove the upper snow hood (Figure 46). Figure 47 1. Spark-plug wire 3. Thumb screw 2.
PAGE 24
Adjusting the Discharge Chute Latch Storage If the discharge chute does not lock into the desired position or does not unlock so that you can move it to another position, adjust the discharge chute latch. WARNING • Gasoline vapors can explode. • Do not store gasoline more than 30 days. 1. Loosen the clamp fastener on the chute support plate until the cable is free. • Do not store the machine in an enclosure near an open flame. • Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
PAGE 25
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Electric starter does not turn (electric-start models only) 1. The power cord is disconnected at the outlet or the machine. 1. Connect the power cord to the outlet and/or the machine. 2. The power cord is worn, corroded, or damaged. 3. The power outlet is not energized. 2. Replace the power cord. 1. The key is not in the ignition or is in the Stop position. 1. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the On position. 2.
PAGE 26
Problem Engine runs, but the machine discharges snow poorly or not at all Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. The throttle is not in the Fast position when throwing snow. 1. Move the throttle to the Fast position. 2. The machine is moving too fast to clear the snow. 3. You are trying to remove too much snow per swath. 4. You are trying to remove extremely heavy or wet snow. 5. The discharge chute is plugged. 6. The auger/impeller drive belt is loose or is off the pulley. 2.
