• The operation of any powered machine can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair. Danger Contact with the rotating impeller/auger can cause severe injury or death. Operation • Stay away from the discharge and auger openings while operating the snowthrower. • Keep your hands, feet, and any other part of your body or clothing away from concealed, moving, or rotating parts.
• To ensure the best performance and safety, purchase only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories to keep the Toro all Toro. Do not use will fit replacement parts and accessories as they could cause a safety hazard. Maintenance and Storage • Check fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. • Always refer to the operator’s manual for important details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an extended period.
Safety and Instruction Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost.

Adjusting Discharge Chute Removing the Snowthrower Important Save all hardware, washers and hairpin cotters for reuse when installing snowthrower. Danger 1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the key. Contact with rotating auger and thrown debris can cause severe injury or death. • Stay away from the discharge and auger openings while operating the snowthrower.

The snowthrower is designed to clean snow down to the contact surface, but there are times when the front of the snowthrower may tend to ride up. If this happens, reduce forward speed. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible, and overlap each pass to ensure complete snow removal. If wheels slip, shift into a lower gear to reduce forward speed. 1 2 3 Run snowthrower for a few minutes after clearing snow so moving parts do not freeze.
Caution If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) before you do any maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug. Greasing and Lubrication Oiling the Drive Chain Service Interval/Specification 1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to off.
4. Raise or lower skids equally on both sides, to obtain level scraping action, and tighten nuts (Fig. 25). Note: On smooth, paved surfaces, the scraper blade can be close to the surface. On uneven, gravel or crushed rock surfaces, adjust skids to raise scraper. This will prevent catching or picking up rocks. 2 3 2 4 1 1281a Figure 26 1. Nut 2. Washer 3. Carriage bolt 4.

Note: Install belt in the outside pulley groove for the snowthrower. 2. Remove hairpin cotters from trunnion and bottom of yoke (Fig. 30). 6. Install the PTO stop back into the clutch (Fig. 28). 3. Unlatch and remove clevis pin that secures yoke assembly to clutch shaft. Pivot yoke out and forward to remove from clutch shaft and engagement plate (Fig. 30). 7. Install the clutch connector (Fig. 28). 4 4. Place belt in outer pulley (Fig. 30). 5 5.
Adjusting the Drive Chain Tension 8. Store the machine in a clean, dry garage or storage area. Cover the machine to protect it and keep it clean. Check the drive chain tension after every 25 operating hours or once a year, whichever occurs first. Adjust as necessary to maintain proper tension. 1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the key. 2. To adjust, loosen the bolt that secures the idler sprocket to left side of the housing (Fig. 32). 3.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM Snow does not discharge g Auger does not rotate. Abnormal vibration. POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION 1. Discharge chute plugged. 1. Clean chute with a stick. 2. Auger does not rotate. 2. See auger does not rotate. 3. Auger speed to low. 3. Move throttle to fast. 4. Forward speed to slow. 4. Increase ground speed. 1. Snow frozen to auger or housing. 1. Scrape snow off with a stick. 2. Drive belt tension low. 2. Adjust belt tension. 3.
