CAUTION: Do not move speed con trol le ver when traction drive control lever is en gaged. Damage to the snow thrower can result.

• Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It is recommended that you use a slower speed until you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)
NOTE : The wrench provided in your parts bag may be used to adjust the skid plates.

Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in normal con di tions, such as a paved driveway or side walk, place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper clear ance) to give a 1/8″ clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface to be cleared is uneven.

NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property dam age or damage to the snow thrower.
If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface, use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.

1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2.  Adjust skid plates by loosening the hex nuts, then moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely

SCRAPER BAR
The scraper bar is not adjustable, but is reversible. After con sid er able use it may become worn. When it has worn almost to the edge of the housing, it can be reversed, providing additional service before requiring replacement. Replace a dam aged or worn scrap er bar.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from the factory, already filled with oil.

1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until “FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
   • To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL” in the Main te nance sec tion of this manual.

ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18)

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.
  

WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas- o hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and for- ma tion of acids dur ing storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied be fore stor age of 30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage In struc tions for ad di tion al information. Never use engine or car bu re tor cleaner products in the fuel tank or per ma nent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE

• Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position. Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
• Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire ground ed system. If you are uncertain, consult a li censed electrician.
  
  WARNING: Do not use the electric start er if your house is not a 120 Volt

1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back against the starter.
   If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or use the electric starter.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

• Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
• Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.
• It is easier and more efficient to remove snow im me – di ate ly after it falls.
• The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming tem per a tures.
• Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be removed.
• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• Ad just the skid plates to proper height for current snow con di tions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this section of this manual.
• For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow removal by over lap ping previous path and moving slowly.
• Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life.
• After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
• Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.

WARNING: Do not operate snow
thrower if weather conditions im pair visibility. Throwing snow dur ing a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL REC OM MEN DA TIONS LUBRICATION CHART
The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been sub ject ed to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as in struct ed in this manual. Some ad just ments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. At least once a season, check to see if you should make any of the adjustments described in the Service and Ad- just ments section of this manual.

• At least once a year, you should replace the spark plug and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help your engine run better and last longer.
• Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the unit to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.

BEFORE EACH USE

1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check for loose fasteners.
3. Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly.

LUBRICATION
Keep your snow thrower well lubricated (See “LU BRI CA TION CHART”).

SNOW THROWER
Always observe the safety rules when performing any main te nance.

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14–17 P.S.I. / 19-24.5 N-m).
• Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and cor ro sion.

V-BELTS
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not ad just able. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion and should be replaced by original equipment man u fac tur er (OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to the snow thrower.

AUGER GEAR CASE

• The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs attention is if service has been performed on the gear case.
• If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.
  

TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.

CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above com po – nents can cause contamination of the friction wheel and damage to the drive system of your snow thrower.

ENGINE
See engine manual.
LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SG–SL. Select the oil’s SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fill cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

1. O CHANGE ENGINE OIL
   Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil
   change. All oil must meet API service classification SG–SL.
   • Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
   • Oil will drain more freely when warm.
   • Catch oil in a suitable container.

NOTE : The left side wheel may be removed from snow thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and placement of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil trapped inside the engine. (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

1. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2. Clean area around drain plug.
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt to enter the engine.
8. Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pourslowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this man u al.
9. Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.
10. Wipe off any spilled oil.

Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could cre ate a fire haz ard and/or dam age.

SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug at the beginning of each season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PROD UCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this manual.

CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep snow thrower housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your snow thrower after each use.

WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it can not come in contact with plug.

Both right and left-hand augers are secured to the auger shaft with a shoulder/shear bolt and hex nut. Should a foreign object or ice become lodged in the augers, the shear bolts are designed to break, preventing damage to any other com po nents. If one or both augers do not turn when auger control lever is engaged, check to see if one or both of the bolts have sheared. To replace the shear bolts:

1. Disengage all controls and move throttle control to STOP position. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

2. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.

3. Align hole in auger hub with hole in auger shaft and install a new 1/4-20 x 2″ shoulder/shear bolt and spacer. Install 1/4-20 lock nut and tighten securely.
   CAUTION: Do not sub sti tute. Use only original equip ment shear bolts as sup plied with your snow thrower.

4. Connect spark plug wire to spark plug. Replace safety ignition key

IMPELLER SHEAR BOLTS
The impeller is secured to the impeller shaft with two (2) capscrew/shear bolts and hex nuts. Should a foreign object or ice become lodged in the impeller, the capscrews are de signed to break, preventing damage to any other com- po nents. If impeller does not turn when auger control lever is engaged, check to see if the capscrews have sheared. To replace the capscrew/shear bolts:

1. Disengage all controls and move throttle control to STOP position. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug  wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
3. Align holes in impeller hub with holes in impeller shaft and install two (2) new 1/4-20 x 1-5/8″ capscrew/shear bolts. Install 1/4-20 locknuts and tighten securely.

1. Remove the two (2) screws securing belt cover to frame.
2. Remove belt cover.
3. Replace belt cover by installing cover and screws and tighten securely

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TO REPLACE BELTS (See Fig. 21)
The auger and traction drive belts are not adjustable. If the belts are damaged or begin to slip from wear, they should be replaced. It is recommended that the belt(s) be replaced by a qualified service center.

NOTE: It is recommended that both the auger and traction drive belt be replaced at the same time.

The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion and should be replaced by original equipment man u fac tur er (OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to the snow thrower.
WARNING: Belt replacement requires separation of the snow thrower. While separating the auger housing from the frame assembly, it is important that an assistant stand in the operating po si tion and hold the snow thrower han dles. Serious personal injury and/or damage to the unit could occur if the snow thrower should fall during the belt chang ing process.

1. REMOVE GASOLINE FROM FUEL TANK – Drain
   gasoline from fuel tank into a suitable container, outdoors, away from fire or flame. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.

2. REMOVE DISCHARGE CHUTE – Loosen locknut se cur ing chute rotator head to mounting bracket only enough to allow chute rotator head to be raised and dis charge chute to be removed from snow thrower.

3. REMOVE BELT COVER – See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in this section of this manual.

4. REMOVE ENGINE PULLEY – Remove bolt, lock wash er and flat washer securing pulley to engine crankshaft. Remove outside (auger) pulley only from crank shaft.

5. SEPARATE SNOW THROWER – With your assistant standing in the operating position holding the handles, re move the two (2) bolts holding auger housing and frame together.
   WARNING: As the last bolt is removed, have your assistant carefully lower the han dles down to the ground.

6. REMOVE AUGER BELT from around pulley.

7. RELIEVE TENSION ON TRACTION DRIVE BELT IDLER and remove traction drive belt from around pulleys.

8. HINT : Insert a 3/8″ drive ratchet (in the “ON” position) into the square hole in idler arm and rotate ratchet clockwise to relieve tension.

9. With tension relieved on idler, install new traction drive belt around pulleys and inside belt keepers.

10. Place auger belt around and inside the groove of auger pulley only.

11. While your assistant slowly raises handles to rejoin the auger hous ing and frame assembly, pull up on the auger belt and squeeze sides together above pulley so belt is fully seated in groove of pulley.

12. Bring snow thrower completely together and check carefully for proper routing of belts. If auger belt has become dislodged from the pulley (by catching the idler arm bracket while bringing snow thrower together), separate the snow thrower and re peat step 10. Belt must be fully seated in pulley groove when bring ing the snow thrower together.

13. Install the two (2) hex bolts and tighten securely.

14. INSTALL ENGINE PULLEY – Place belt in pulley groove and slide pulley on crankshaft. Install flat washer, lockwasher and bolt and tighten securely (30-35 ft. lbs. torque). Make sure belt is inside belt keeper.

15. INSTALL BELT COVER and two (2) screws. Tighten securely.

16. INSTALL DISCHARGE CHUTE – See “INSTALL DISCHARGE CHUTE / CHUTE ROTATER HEAD” in the As sem bly / Pre-Operation section of this manual.

TO REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 22)

• Remove the klik pin and remove wheel from axle.

IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the innermost hole in axle and the wheel hub hole. To dis en gage drive system from the wheels (for pushing or trans port ing the snow thrower), remove klik pin from wheel hub and insert pin into the outermost hole in axle only.

NOTE: To seal punctures or prevent flat tires due to slow
leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and cor ro sion.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134
meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower
to a qualified service center.

ENGINE SPEED
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Over speeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary ad just ments.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your snow thrower for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

WARNING: Never store the snow thrower with gaso line in the tank in side a build ing where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a fur nace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas ap pli ance. Allow the engine to cool be fore storing in any enclosure.

SNOW THROWER
When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thor oughly, re move all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire snow thrower (See “CLEANING” in the Main te nance section of this manual).
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO REPLACE BELTS” in the Service and Adjustments sec tion of this manual).
3. Lubricate as shown in the Main te nance sec tion of this man u al.
4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely fas tened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if nec es sary.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

ENGINE
See engine manual.
FUEL SYS TEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting it run until the fuel lines and car bu re tor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min- i miz ing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 min utes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this man ual).

CYLINDER

1. Remove spark plug.
2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into cylinder.
3. Pull recoil starter handle slowly a few times to dis trib ute oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Remove safety ignition key; store it in a safe place.
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
• Cover your snow thrower with a suitable pro tec tive cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe, which allows con den sa tion to form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/exhaust area is still warm.
