Mounting flange 5. Check operation. Move gear slightly outward it binding is evident. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE IMPORTANT: Check pressure of tires because they are overinflated at the factory for shipping. Therefore, before the snow thrower is operated, reduce pressure in both tires to 7—15 psi equally. INSTALL SKIDS 1.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CHECK AUGER GEAR BOX OIL (Fig. 10) 1. Move snow thrower to a level surface. 2. Clean area around pipe plug so dirt is removed. 3. Remove pipe plug from gear box. 4. Check oil level in gear box. Oil must be at point of overflowing in filler opening. 5. if lever of oil is low, 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 A\ WARNING DANGER: Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be used when storing or handing 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. Do not fill tank full.

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: a7 Figure 17 1. Mounting sower 2. Heater 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 wheels to the rear Power Shift position and shift to a lower gear in heavy and/or drifted snow to prevent the auger housing from riding up over the SNOW. 10. Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed) when 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. Check scraper adjustment to ensure that the auger does not contact the pavement; refer to Adjusting Scraper, page 15. 4. Move the wheels to the REAR Power Shift position. 5. Support the scraper to be 1/8 inch above a level surface if the snow thrower is to be used on smooth pavement. Note: The scraper should be higher than 3/16 inch above the pavement if the pavement surfaces are cracked, rough or uneven. 6.
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 ail after the first 2 hours of engine operation; thereafter, change oil after every 25 hours of engine operation or annually. If possible, tun engine just before changing oil because warm ofl flows better and carries more contaminants than cold oil. 1.
MAINTENANCE 168 Figure 28 3. Flange head careworn (3} 1. Upper belt cover 2. Cable cover 3. Depress the auger/impeller contort lever on the right hand grip. Hold the lever and insert a .010” (.25 mm) feeler gauge between a coil in the center of the spring {Fig. 28). Adjust the cable to achieve .010” {25 mm) gap between the coils. /! Figure 29 1. Feeler gauge 2. Center of spring 4. Loosen upper jam nut securing auger/impelier cable to mounting bracket (Fig. 30}. EN-18 Figure 30 1.
MAINTENANCE 10. Check tension of belt by operating the auger. If belt still slips, replace the belt. 1/8” Min. 1. impeller idler arm 2. Brake arm ADJUSTING TRACTION DRIVE BELT (Fig. 30) If the wheels do not turn when the traction lever is depressed, the traction belt tension should be increased. Whenever the belt is replaced, an adjustment is required. 1. Loosen upper jam nut securing traction cable to mourning bracket. 2. Totals bottom jam nut upward to increase belt tension.
MAINTENANCE A DANGER e IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT MAY CAUSE INJURY IF AUGER/IMPELLER TURNS WHEN DISENGAGED. © ROTATING IMPELLER 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 FARTS. * 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 slot. €. Reinstall ball joint to transmission lever and tighten jam nut. Next, rotate idle mixture screw 1-1/2 full turns counterclockwise. w38 Figure 36 1. Shift rod $. Lockout 2. Ball joint 8. Jam nut 3, Shift bracket 7.

MAINTENANCE 7. Rotate idle mixture screw clockwise—in—1/8 furn at a time until engine begins ta miss because of a lean mixture. Then rotate screw counterclockwise—out—1/8 tum 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 ipm. 9.
