SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER Unpacking • • • • • Remove staples from the top, sides, and ends of the shipping crate. Set panels aside to avoid tire punctures or personal injury. Remove and discard plastic bag that covers unit. Roll the unit out of the crate. Check the crate for loose parts before discarding. • • Loose Parts • The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts.
PAGE 6
• Cable With the traction control released, push the snow thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine should move freely. • Engage the traction control and attempt to move the machine both forward and back, resistance should be felt. • Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) position and repeat the previous two steps.
PAGE 7
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires) The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes. Auger Control • Check tire pressure. Maintain pressure between 10 and 14 psi. NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in all tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other. WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times.

Traction Control / Auger Control Lock Chute Crank The traction control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the traction control to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop. The chute crank is located on the left hand side of the snow thrower. Use it to change the direction in which snow is thrown. Avoid targetting persons, animals or cars and buildings. This same lever also locks the auger control so you can operate the chute crank without interrupting the snow throwing process.

SECTION 4: OPERATING YOUR SNOW THROWER Before Starting • Read and understand all instructions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating. • Gas & Oil Fill-Up • Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the engine manual shipped with the snow thrower. • • WARNING: Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
PAGE 10
• • Recoil Starter: With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three or four times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering sound, which is normal. Move throttle control to “stop” or “off” position. Remove ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended. WARNING: The temperature of the muffler and the surrounding areas may exceed 150°F. Avoid these areas.

SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS • WARNING: NEVER attempt to clean chute Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on the auger housing. See Figure 9. or make any adjustments while engine is running. Frame Cover Shift Rod Ferrule Hairpin Clip Flat Washer Auger Housing Shift Arm Shift Rod Figure 9 • • Figure 8 • • • • • • • Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the shift handle under the handle panel. See Figure 8. Place shift lever in sixth (6) position or fastest forward speed.
PAGE 12
Skid Shoe Chute Assembly The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes. • For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in the low position. Use the middle or high position when the area to be cleared is uneven. When operating on gravel, always put skid shoes in the high position. See Figure 11.
PAGE 13
SECTION 6: MAINTAINING YOUR SNOW THROWER Auger Shaft WARNING: Before lubricating, repairing, or • inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. At least once a season, remove the shear bolts from the auger shaft and spray lubricant inside the shaft. See Figure 13.
PAGE 14
Friction Wheel Rubber Follow the instructions below to check the condition of the friction wheel rubber every 25 hours of operation. • • Chute Crank Spirals • • Lube under chute base Remove the six self-tapping screws from the frame cover underneath the snow thrower. Visually inspect the friction wheel rubber for excessive wear, cracks, or loose fit on the friction wheel drive hub. Also engage the traction control and check if the friction wheel is making contact with friction plate. Refer to Figure 10.
