SAFETY  INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY DEFINITIONS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and their explanations, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
 CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates information considered important, but not hazard-related (e.g., messages relating to property damage).

GENERAL SAFTEY
– Read the operating and service instruction manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
– Never allow children under 16 years old to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.
– Thrown objects can cause serious injury. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets. Plan your snow discharge pattern to prevent throwing material toward cars, structures, roads and people.
– Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse.
– Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
– Never use the snowblower under the influence of alcohol, medication, or recreational drugs, or if you are tired or ill.

PREPARATION FOR USE
– Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
– Disengage all clutch handles before starting the motor.
– Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
– Adjust the auger housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.
– Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except where specifically recommended in the manual).
– Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow.
– 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.
– Inspect the auger and impeller before starting to ensure that there is no ice build up.

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLNE
To avoid severe injury or property damage use high levels of care while handling gasoline. Gasoline is an extremely flammable substance and the vapours are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes, which can ignite. If you come into contact with gasoline, wash affected areas of skin and change clothing immediately.
– Use only an approved gasoline container.
– Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition prior to working with or near gasoline.
– Never refuel machine within closed spaces.
– Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running.
– Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
– Do not over fill fuel tank. Keep fuel level at least ½” (1.27 cm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion.
– Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
– If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
– Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light (e.g., furnace, water heater, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).
– Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
– Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
– If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
– Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use gas cans with nozzle lockopen devices.

OPERATION
– Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
– Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
– After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the snowblower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snowblower.
– If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Vibration typically indicates a mechanical problem has occurred.
– Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the auger housing or discharge guide, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.
– Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing any parts of the snowblower, ensure the auger has stopped moving. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
– Before leaving the machine unattended, disengage all control levers, stop the engine and remove the safety key.

CAUTION: To prevent damaging the electric starter, do not run it more than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off. If the engine does not start after this series of attempts, allow the starter to cool for at least 40 minutes before trying to start it again. If the engine still does not start, contact customer service centre for assistance 1.866.523.5218. Once started, disconnect the plug from the power supply and the starter.
OPERATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power will be reduced approximately 3  ½% for every 1000′ (304 m) of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling. To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power loss, we can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet at an additional cost.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the following table. In order to select the correct  high altitude main jet, it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.

STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine in an emergency or during normal operation, remove the engine key (safety lock out) from the keyhole.

ADJUSTING SELF-DRIVE CONTROL HANDLE CABLE
The cables are preset by the factory. Proper tension is important because you will want your snowblower to move forward properly in heavy snowfalls. You will want to perform this test when temperatures are above freezing before snow season sets in. There are 2 levels of tension in the control handles. It is best to run this test while the engine is on. Shut down the engine once you’re ready to make any adjustments. Stage 1 there is no tension, the transmission is disengaged. Stage 2 there is tension, the transmission is engaged.

If there is no stage 2, the friction disc is near end of life. Stage 1 increases slightly during long-term usage. If stage 1 is most of the control handle movement, the wheels will not rotate properly. Make adjustments as follows.
Tighten the cable and reduce the length of stage 1 to approximately what is shown above visually. Do not reduce the length of stage 1 to almost none, there will be a risk of no disengagement. Loosen the nut counterclockwise, then loosen the center bolt clockwise. Test function. Tighten the nut clockwise against the long sleeve bolt.

If the snowblower fails to drive with the drive control engaged and performing the drive control cable adjustment fails to correct the problem, the friction disc may need to be replaced. See ‘Repair or Replace Friction Disc’
If the friction disc is ok, then you should replace the cable.
If you find the wheel drives when the handle is not pressed, or when you press the handle and the wheels do not drive or rotate, the cable is most likely frozen. You should replace the cable or wait until it thaws out to test.
ADJUSTING SELF-DRIVE SPEED CONTROL HANDLE CABLES

1. Make sure all fluids are removed and spark plug is disconnected.

2. Locate the speed control cables. There are 2 cables.

3. Move the speed control lever to the fastest (top) and slowest (bottom) position. If you are able to move the lever to these 2 positions, go to the next step. If not, adjust the center bolt and nut to loosen the cable, then you can set the handle to either the fastest or slowest speeds. Loosen the nut counterclockwise, then loosen the center bolt clockwise. Test function. Tighten the nut clockwise against the long sleeve bolt.

4. If you are able to adjust the speed lever to top most or bottom most position, move the lever to rest on the boss between R1 and R2 (both reverse speeds), then adjust the center bolt and nut until the cable is tight on the top most cable as shown. Do not over tighten the bolt and nut. Do not do adjust the other cable.

5. Set the handle to the boss between D5 and D6 (top 2 forward speeds), then adjust the center bolt and nut until the cable is tight as shown. Do not over tighten the bolt and nut.

6. Try the speed control lever in any position, both cables should be straight, but not overly tight in any position. If not, repeat step 3 through 5.

7. Perform a speed test to confirm everything is in working order. If you’re still experiencing issues, please look at the next steps.
   8. A slow speed of D1 (slowest forward speed) will be helpful for thick snow. If you want to decrease D1 speed, loosen about 1 or 2 threads for cable 1, then tighten about 1 or 2 threads for cable 2. Do not adjust too much which could set D1 in reverse.

8. Check the cable is always straight when the handle at any position, then tighten these two pair of bolts and nuts.

 If the snowblower speed control adjustment fails to correct the problem or the speed control will not move even with the engine on, the shift fork steering assembly may need to be replaced. See “Replace Shift Fork Steering Assembly”.
ADJUSTING AUGER CONTROL CABLE
Proper tension is important because you will want your snowblower to maximize belt life in heavy snowfalls. The belt tension controlled by the auger cable is preset by the factory. During regular usage, the auger belt will lose tension over time and need to be adjusted. If you notice your auger is not engaging, follow these steps to correct performance.

1. Locate the auger control cable, connected to the auger control lever on the right-hand side from the user position.
2. Locate and adjust the bolt and nut on the cable. Lengthening this nut connection will create more tension with the auger belt. Do not over adjust the cable, too much tension on belt will not allow the belt to separate from the pulley when disengaging. If the belt isn’t allowed to disengage properly, you could cause premature wearing
   of the belt and ultimately cause belt failure. 3. With a helper, operate the auger control on and off with the control lever, and make sure the auger visually isn’t turning when released (Your helper would need to be a
   safe distance to help you determine if the adjustments are working. They will need to view the auger or impeller rotation while you press down or release the control  lever). If when released, there is a slightly turning of the auger, make slight adjustments to fine tune performance to stop the rotation when released, but working when pressed down.

ADJUSTING DISCHARGE CHUTE CABLES
The snow discharge chute cables control the left and right motion of the snow discharge chute.
When you notice, either the chute isn’t turning or not turning completely, locate and adjust the bolt and nut on the cable.

1. Adjust the right cable to increase turn to max.
2. Adjust the left cable to increase turn to max. Loosen the nut counterclockwise, then loosen the center bolt clockwise. Test function. Tighten the nut clockwise against the long sleeve bolt.

REPLACE DISCHARGE CHUTE DEFLECTOR CABLE
Make sure all fluids are removed and spark plug is disconnected.
To remove and replace your snowblower’s chute deflector cable, proceed as follows:

1. Adjust the deflector in its full, upright position.
2. Remove the B pin.
3. Remove the anchor pin by sliding it off.
4. On the control panel side, press the cable busing tabs and pull it out. Be careful not to damage the tabs.
5. On the chute side, press the cable busing tabs and pull it out. Be careful not to damage the tabs.
6. Remove the cable end from the bracket.
7. Follow the reverse steps to replace the cable.

REPLACE SELF-DRIVE CONTROL HANDLE CABLE

1. Carefully pivot the snowblower up and forward so that it rests on the auger housing. Place a piece of cardboard or moving blanket on the ground before tipping forward. Make sure all fluids are removed and spark plug is disconnected.
2. Remove the base frame cover (1) from the underside of the snowblower by removing the six M6 × 16 screws which secures it.
3. Locate the self-drive cable.
4. Unhook the spring from the drive plate hole (1).
5. Squeeze and remove the strain relief from the machine side (2).
6. Unhook the connector in the control handle. You may have to move the control handle to make these easier to remove (3).
7. Squeeze and remove the strain relief from the control handle side (4).
8. Perform the steps in reverse with the new cable.

VALVE ClEARANCE
If set in summer: (if set at room temperature about 50°F – 86°F (10°C-30°C) intake clearance 0.10~0.15mm (.004”-.006”) exhaust clearance 0.15~0.20mm (.006”-.008”)
If set in winter: (if set in cold at < 32°F (0°C) then recommend setting a little tighter at: intake clearance 0.05~0.10mm (.002”-.004”) exhaust clearance 0.10~0.15mm (.004”-.006”)
LUBRICATION
No parts inside the gearbox are to be lubricated. All bearings and bushings are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance. Lubricating these parts will only result in the grease getting on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which could damage the rubber clad friction wheel.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
Never store the machine with gasoline in the fuel tank in a confined area with bad ventilation. Gasoline fumes could reach open flames, sparks, cigarettes, etc.
To avoid the engine freezing and problems starting the engine, leave the engine running for 5-10 minutes after your work has been completed. This will ensure all moisture will disappear that would otherwise cause starting problems.
If the machine is to be stored for a longer period than 30 days, the following procedures are recommended.

1. Mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline according to fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions.
2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops due to lack of fuel.
3. Change the engine oil if it has not been done for 3 months.
4. Remove the spark plug and empty a little engine oil (about 1 oz {30 mL}) in the hole. Crank the engine a couple of times. Replace the spark plug.
5. Clean the whole machine thoroughly.
6. Inspect the machine for damage, and repair if necessary.
7. Apply rust protection to the metal surfaces.
8. Store the machine indoors if possible.

TRANSPORTING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the machine on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
REGUlAR SERVICE PERIODS
Perform at every indicated month or operating hour interval, whichever comes first.
