Assembly Note: Determine left and right sides of snowthrower by standing in the normal operating position. Note: Shift rod to be positioned with bend rearward. 2. Insert bottom ball joint stud through right side of transmission lever and secure with 3/8-16 locknut. 3. Mount Auger Housing Shift into 2nd gear and check shift rod alignment with Power Shift slot. 1. Remove (2) flange head capscrews securing idler pulley assembly to engine frame. Remove idler pulley assembly. Note: 2.
Install Chute Control Gear (Fig. 7) 1. Insert the 5/16-18 x 1” lg. carriage bolt into gear bracket mounting hole. 2. 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. 4. Install (2) flange bolts thru front slots in skids and thru sideplates.
Before Starting Fill Crankcase With Oil The engine is shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase. Therefore, before starting the engine, oil must be added to the crankcase. Fill Fuel Tank With Gasoline 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.
10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE, 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.
Primer (Fig. 14)—Press primer to pump a small amount of gasoline into engine for improved cold weather starting. Fuel Shut-Off Valve (Fig. 15)—Valve is located under fuel tank. Close valve to stop fuel flow from fuel tank and open valve to allow fuel to flow to the carburetor. Close valve when snowthrower is not used. 3. Open fuel shut-off valve below fuel tank (Fig. 15). 4. Move choke to ON choke position (Fig. 14). 5. Rotate ignition key to ON (Fig. 13). 6.
Stopping 1. Release traction and auger/impeller drive controls (Fig. 13). 2. Move throttle to slow and rotate ignition key to OFF. 3. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operator’s position (behind the handles). Free Wheeling Or Self-propelled Drive The snowthrower can be free wheeled or engaged for self-propelled operation. There are two holes in each end of the axle. When axle pins are thru outer axle holes and not thru wheel hub (Fig. 22), snowthrower free wheels.
Operating Tips 1. When snowthrower is not being used, close fuel shut-off valve and remove key from the switch. 2. Remove snow as soon as possible after it falls. This produces best snow removal results. 3. POTENTIAL HAZARD • When snowthrower is in operation, impeller and auger can be rotating. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • ROTATING IMPELLER OR AUGER CAN CUT OFF OR INJURE FINGERS OR HANDS. When in the rear Power Shift position, push down on handles to increase traction if necessary.
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. Secure the scraper using carriage bolts and nylon locknuts. 9. Adjust the skids; refer to Adjusting Skids, page 15. 3.
Maintenance POTENTIAL HAZARD • If you leave the wire on the spark plug, someone could start the engine. 2. Place a clean drain pan under shut-off valve. 3. Loosen hose clamps securing fuel line to valve and slide line off valve (Fig. 15). 4. Open valve allowing fuel to flow into drain pan. 5. Reinstall fuel line and secure with hose clamp. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Accidental starting of engine could seriously injure you or other bystanders.
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: 4. Loosen upper jam nut securing auger/impeller cable to mounting bracket (Fig. 28). 5. Rotate bottom jam nut upward to increase belt tension. 6. Tighten upper jam nut against bracket. 1. Position snowthrower on a level surface. 2. Clean area around pipe plug so dirt is removed. 7.
Adjusting Traction Drive Belt (Fig. 28) 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. 5. 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. 31-33) 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. 34). 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: 3. Lubricate the snowthrower: refer to Lubricating Snowthrower, page 16. Change crankcase oil: see Changing Crankcase Oil, page 16. 4. Clean the snowthrower. Touch up chipped surfaces with paint. Toro Re-Kote paint is available from an Authorized TORO Service Dealer.
