Figure 22 1. Snow-cleanout tool (attached to the handle) Operation Before Operation Safety • Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer for all machines with electric-starting motors. g01881 1 Figure 23 • Do not operate the machine without wearing adequate 1. Do not fill above the bottom of the fuel-tank neck. winter garments. Avoid loose-fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts.

• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine • • • • • • • 3. Insert the ignition key all the way in (Figure 25). is running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer). Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. After striking a foreign object, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage, and repair the damage before starting and operating the machine.

5. Move the choke to the CHOKE position (Figure 27). g018812 Figure 29 1. Electric-start button 2. Electric-start plug-in 3. Recoil-start handle To use the electric starter (electric start only), connect a power cord to the electric-start plug-in first and then to a power source with a residual-current device (RCD). Use only a H05VV-F or H05RN-F power cord recommended for outdoor use that is not longer than 15 m (for a 1.0 mm2 cord) or 30 m (for a 1.5 mm2 cord).
PAGE 14
Shutting Off the Engine Operating the Handwarmers 1. Move the throttle to the SLOW position, and then to the STOP position (Figure 30) to shut off the engine. You can also shut off the engine by pulling the ignition key outward to the middle position. Operate the handwarmers as follows: • Flip the switch to the ON position to turn on the handwarmers. • Flip the switch to the OFF position to turn off the handwarmers. STOP G016505 Figure 30 Figure 32 2.

Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right wheel-clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments to keep the machine going in a straight line, especially in deep snow. Squeezing both wheel-clutch levers simultaneously disengages the drive to both wheels. This enables you to manually move the machine backward without stopping to shift it into a reverse gear. It also allows you to maneuver and transport the machine more easily when the engine is not running.
PAGE 16
• If the chute does not turn as far to the left as it does to the WARNING right, ensure that the cable is routed to the inside of the handles. Refer to 1 Installing the Upper Handle (page 5). If the auger and impeller continue to rotate when you release the auger/impeller lever, you could seriously injure yourself or others. • If the chute does not lock into place when you release the trigger cap, refer to Adjusting the Discharge-Chute Latch (page 23). Do not operate the machine.
PAGE 17
Operating Tips After Operation DANGER Safety When the machine is in operation, the impeller and auger can rotate and cut off or injure hands and feet. • Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present, such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
PAGE 18
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 19
Note: If the pavement is cracked, rough, or uneven, adjust the skids to raise the scraper. For gravel surfaces, adjust the skids further down to prevent the machine from picking up rocks. 1 5. Move the skids down until they are even with the ground. 2 6. Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids to the auger sides. Note: To quickly adjust the skids if they loosen, support the scraper 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) off the pavement, then adjust the skids down to the pavement.

3. Tighten the jam nut (Figure 44). Figure 46 Figure 44 1. Jam nut 1. Tab 2. 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) 2. Turnbuckle 4. If the auger/impeller cable is not properly adjusted, do the following steps: Checking and Adjusting the Auger/Impeller Cable 5. Loosen the jam nut (Figure 47). Service Interval: After the first 2 hours—Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust it if necessary. Yearly—Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust or replace it if necessary. 1.
PAGE 21
Checking the Auger-Gearbox-Oil Level Service Interval: Yearly—Check the auger-gearbox oil and add oil if necessary. 1. Move the machine to a level surface. 2. Clean the area around the pipe plug (Figure 48). Figure 49 1 Engine Oil Capacities G016782 Figure 48 1. Pipe plug Model Engine Oil Capacity 38823 0.89 to 0.95 L (30 to 32 oz) 1. Clean the area around the oil-drain plug (Figure 50). 3. Remove the pipe plug from the gearbox. 4. Check the oil level in the gearbox.

Note: Do not spill oil around the oil-fill tube; oil could leak onto traction parts and cause the traction to slip. Replacing the Spark Plug G016646 Figure 53 Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Replace the spark plug. WARNING 3. Remove and discard the old spark plug.
PAGE 23
Adjusting the Discharge-Chute Latch Note: The latch is spring loaded and naturally moves into the teeth of the gear (Figure 57). 4. Remove any slack in the cable by pulling the cable conduit rearward. 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. 5. Tighten the bolt on the cable clamp, being careful not to strip the plastic part. 1.

Storage WARNING • Fuel vapors can explode. • Do not store fuel more than 30 days. Figure 60 • Do not store the machine in an enclosure near an open flame. 4. Insert a new bulb into the back of the headlight (Figure 61). • Allow the engine to cool before storing it. Preparing the Machine for Storage 1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel. Note: Fuel should not be stored longer than suggested by the fuel stabilizer manufacturer. Figure 61 2.
PAGE 25
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause The electric starter does not turn (electric start 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 The 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.
