DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal words used to identify the level of hazard. However, regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful. DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause serious injury or death if the recommended precautions are not followed. WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or death if the recommended precautions are not followed. CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or moderate injury if the recommended precautions are not followed.
A. Use an approved gasoline container. B. C. Fill fuel tank outdoors, not indoors. NEVER ADD FUEL TO AN ENGINE THAT IS RUNNING OR HOT. Engine must be cool to reduce potential fire hazard. Open doors if engine will be started in the garage because exhaust fumes are dangerous and could possibly be deadly. Do not run engine indoors. D. Wipe up any spilled gasoline. Reinstall gasoline container cap and snowthrower fuel tank cap securely before starting the engine. While Operating 12.
25. Never operate snowthrower at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when backing. Maintaining Snowthrower 26. Perform only those maintenance instructions described in this manual. Shut engine off before performing any maintenance service or adjustment. Additionally, pull wire off spark plug and keep wire away from plug to prevent accidental starting. If major repairs are ever needed, contact your local Authorized TORO Service Dealer for assistance. 27.
BEFORE OPERATING Read and understand the contents of this manual before operating the snowthrower. Become familiar with all controls and know how to stop the engine quickly. CAUTION: IMPROPER USE MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF FINGERS, HANDS OR FEET.

Assembly Install Shift Rod (Fig. 5) 1. Note: Determine left and right sides of snowthrower by standing in the normal operating position. Insert upper shift rod ball joint stud through front of shift bracket and secure with 3/8-24 locknut. Note: Mount Auger Housing 1. Remove (2) flange head capscrews securing idler pulley assembly to engine frame. Remove idler pulley assembly. 2. Align auger housing and engine frame mounting holes (Fig. 2). 3. Route impeller belt around impeller pulley. 4.
4. Make sure chute rotates freely on ring. If chute binds, move right hand retainer outward to ease operation. Install Chute Control Gear (Fig. 7) 1. Position worm gear into bracket, align holes and insert chute gear rod through bracket and gear. 3. Loosely mount worm gear and bracket to mounting flange with carriage bolt, flat washer, and locknut. 4. Slide worm gear into teeth of chute gear and tighten locknut. 5. Check operation. Move gear slightly outward if binding is evident.
Note: 6. Do not use synthetic gear oil. Fill Fuel Tank With Gasoline Reinstall pipe plug in gear box. Before Starting POTENTIAL HAZARD • In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage. Fill Crankcase With Oil HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD The engine is shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase.
OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT. Toro also recommends that Toro Stabilizer/Conditioner be used regularly in all Toro gasoline powered products during operation and storage seasons. Toro Stabilizer/Conditioner cleans the engine during operation and prevents gum-like varnish deposits from forming in the engine during periods of storage. Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline.
Recoil Starter (Fig. 17)—Recoil starter is on back side of engine. Pull recoil starter to start engine. 7. Starting/Stopping Engine Grasp recoil starter handle (Fig. 17) and pull it out slowly until positive engagement results; then pull vigorously to start the engine. Keep firm grip on starter handle and return the rope slowly. Note: Starting Note: If engine is operated when temperature is +40_F (4_C) or higher, remove carburetor heater box. However, the heater box (Fig.
Move wheels to the rear Power Shift position in heavy and/or drifted snow. 2. Remove snow as soon as possible after it falls. This produces best snow removal results. Leave wheels in the front position for light snow or for transporting snowthrower. 3. When in the rear Power Shift position, push down on handles to increase traction if necessary. 4. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible, and overlap each swath to ensure complete snow removal.
POTENTIAL HAZARD • When snowthrower is in operation, impeller and auger can be rotating. 6. Support the auger blades so that the auger is 1/8 - 1/4 inch off the ground. 7. Move the scraper so that it contacts the flat surface all the way across, then tighten the two rear flanged cap screws securing scraper and skids to the side plates. This temporarily locks the scraper in the proper position so that the remainder of the fasteners can be tightened without affecting adjustment. 8.
For Gravel Surfaces For gravel or crushed rock surfaces, adjust the skids to prevent picking up rocks. POTENTIAL HAZARD • Gasoline is highly flammable. 1. • Gasoline can be ignited and cause serious WHAT CAN HAPPEN Pull wire off spark plug and make sure wire does not contact plug accidentally. 2. personal injury. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Drain gasoline outdoors. • Drain gasoline from a cold engine only. • Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
3. After all oil is drained, reinstall oil drain cap securely. 4. Position snowthrower on a level surface. Next, fill crankcase with oil: see Fill Crankcase With Oil, page 10. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled. Auger Gear Box Oil The auger gear box oil level must be checked at setup, after every 10 hours of use, and upon removal from annual storage. To check the auger gear box oil level: 1. Position snowthrower on a level surface. 2. Clean area around pipe plug so dirt is removed. 3.
Adjusting Traction Drive Belt (Fig. 25) 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. 2. Loosen upper jam nut securing traction cable to mounting bracket. Remove capscrew and lockwasher securing half sheave to front of pulley assembly. 6. Slide half sheave and auger/impeller belt off crankshaft and remove belt from impeller pulley. 7.
Adjusting Drive Chain (Fig. 28-30) 7. The drive chain must be adjusted to maintain 1/8-3/8 of an inch deflection mid span between transmission and axle sprocket. Check chain deflection after every 25 hours of operation. 1. Pull wire off spark plug and make sure wire does not contact plug accidentally (Fig. 31). 2. Make sure wheels are positioned in rear position, move shift control into 2nd gear, and tip snowthrower up onto front edge of auger housing.
Storage 1. cylinder head, but do not install wire on the plug. Then pull recoil starter slowly to distribute oil on inside of cylinder. FUEL SYSTEM PREPARATION– Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. • Add Toro Stabilizer/Conditioner to the fuel tank (one ounce per gallon of fuel). • Run engine for ten minutes to distribute conditioned fuel through fuel system. • Stop engine, allow it to cool, and drain fuel tank or run engine until it stops.
