ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CHECK AUGER GEAR BOX OIL (Fig. 10} 1. Move snow thrower to a level surface. 2. Clean area around pipe plug sa dirt is removed. 3. Remove pipe plug from gear box. 4. Check oil level in gear box. Ol must be at point of overflowing in filler opening. 5. Multilevel of oil is Iow, add GLIB or GLIB SAE 8595 EP transmission oil to the gear box until point of overflow. Note: Do not use synthetic gear oil. 6. Reinstall pipe plug in gear box. Figure 10 1.
BEFORE OPERATING space is for expansion of fuel, DANGER: Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be used when storing or handling it. Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running, hot, or when unit is in an enclosed area. Keep away from open flame and electrical spark. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibility of an explosion. Always fill fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline.

STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS TO START ENGINE Note: If engine is operated when temperature is +40° higher, remove carburetor heater box. However, the heater box (Fig. 17) must be reinstalled when temperature falls below +40° remove heater box: Figure 17 1. Mounting scow 2. Hardhat box A. Remove {2) mounting screws securing heater box in place. Grasp choke knob and pull it off mounting pin, B. Lift heater box up and away from the engine, and reinstall choke knob on mounting pin.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS POWER SHIFT OPERATION Wheels will shift forward {or rearward) with every other movement of the shift control. Move wheels to the rear Power Shift position in heavy and/or drifted snow. Leave wheels in the front position for light snow or for transporting snow thrower. 1. Release traction drive lever, 2. To move wheels to front or rear position, move shift control fully forward to Power Shift position and hold (Fig. 18). 3.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9. Move wheals to the rear Power Shift position and shift to a lower gear in heavy and/or drifted snow ta prevent the auger housing from riding up over the snow. 10. Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed) wham throwing snow. 11, In wet or slushy conditions, clogging of the discharge chute will be reduced by maintaining maximum engine speed and by not overloading the engine.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3. Hack scraper adjustment ¢ ensure that the auger does not contact the pavement; refer to Adjusting Scraper, page 15, 4. Move the wheals to the REAR Power Shift position. 5. Support the scraper to be 1/8 inch above a revel surface if the snow thrower is to be used on smooth pavement. Note: The scraper should be higher than 3/16 inch shove the pavement if the pavement surfaces are cracked, rough or uneven. 8.
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATING SNOW THROWER 1. Annually lubricate drive chain with chain lubricant {Fig. 25). Wipe up any excess oil. Figure 25 1. Drive chain CHANGING CRANKCASE OIL (Fig. 26) Initially, change oil after the first 2 hours of engine operation; thereafter, change oil after every 25 hours of engine operation or annually. If possible, run engine just before changing oil because warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants than cold oil. 1.
MAINTENANCE i Figure 28 1. Upper belt cover 2. Cable cover 3. Flange head cap screw (3} 3. Depress the auger/impslier control! ravel on the right hand grip. Hold the lever and insert a 010" (.28 mm) feeler gauge between a coil in the center of the spring (Fig. 29). Adjust the cable to achieve 010" (.26 mm) gap between the coifs. Figure 29 1. Feeler gauge 2. Center of spring 4. Loosen upper jam nut securing auger/impelier cable to mounting bracket (Fig. 30). 18 Figure 30 1. Montpelier cable {outer cable) 2.
MAINTENANCE 10. Check tension of belt by operating the auger. if belt still slips, replace the veil. " 1/8" Min. o Figure 31 1. Impeller idler arm 2, Brake arm ADJUSTING TRACTION DRIVE BELT (Fig. 30) If the wheals do not turn when the traction lever is depressed, the traction bat tension should be increased. Whenever the belt is replaced, an adjustment Is required. 1. Loosen upper jam nut securing traction cable to mounting bracket. 2. Rotate bottom jam nut upward 1o increase belt tension.
MAINTENANCE * IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT MAY CAUSE INJURY IF AUGER/IMPELLER TURNS WHEN DISENGAGED, * ROTATING IMPELLER OR AUGER CAN CUT OFF OR INJURE FINGERS OR HANDS. & KEEP FACE, HANDS, FEET AND ANY OTHER PART OF YOUR BODY OR CLOTHING AWAY FROM CONCEALED, MOVING OR ROTATING PARTS. * MAKE CERTAIN THAT IMPELLER BRAKE ARM CLEARANCE IS MAINTAINED, » DO NOT ADJUST THE AUGER/IMPELLER DRIVE BELT TOO TIGHT BECAUSE IT MAY CAUSE THE AUGER/IMPELLER TO TURN WHEN THE CONTROL LEVER IS IN THE DISENGAGED POSITION.
MAINTENANCE B. Rotate ball joint up or down until gear shift lever is aligned with Power Shift soot. C. Reinstall ball joint to transmission lever and tighten jam nut. Figure 38 1.

Transmission lever ADJUSTING CARBURETOR (Fig. 37) The carburetor has been adjusted at the factory, but an occasional adjustment may be required. 1. Remove carburetor heater box: see To Start Engine, paragraph one, steps A & B, page 13.
MAINTENANCE 7. Rotate idle mixture screw clockwise—in—1/8 turn at a time until engine begins to miss because of a lean mixture. Then rotate screw counterclockwiseg—out—1/8 turn; at a time until engine runs unevenly because of rich mixture. Next, rotate die mixture screw clockwise, back to the mid-point between rich and lean settings. Note: Wait several seconds between each 1/8 turn setting so engine can adjust to the new fuel mixture. 8. Again, rotate idle speed screw until engine idles at 1750 rpm, 9.
