SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This safety alert symbol means CAUTION – PER­SONAL SAFETY IN­ STRUCTION. Read the in­ instructions because it has to do with safety. Failure to comply with the instruc­tion may result in personal injury.
The snow thrower is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service, provided it is operated in strict accordance with the follow­ ing Safety Instructions, Failure to comply with the following instructions MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
BEFORE OPERATING

  1. Never allow children to operate the snow­ thrower. Adults should operate the snowthrower only after READING THIS MANUAL and receiv­ ing proper instructions.

  2. Familiarize yourself with the controls. Know how to stop the engine quickly.

  3. Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from the area of operation.

  4. Wear adequate winter clothing and footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

  5. Since fuel is highly flammable, handle it with care. Fill the fuel tank with a mixture of gasoline and oil before trying to start the engine.
    A. Use an approved fuel container for storing the gasoline/oil mixture.
    B. Fill the fuel tank outdoors, not indoors. The fuel tank must not be filled when the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
    C. Install the gasoline container cap and fuel tank cap, and wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting the engine.

  6. Thoroughly inspect the area where the snow­ thrower will be used. Remove all door mats, sleds, boards, wires, and any other foreign objects.

  7. Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield or safety device is defective, make all repairs before operating the snow thrower. Also, tighten loose nuts and bolts. and screws.

  8. Start the engine and let it warm up outdoors for about two minutes to adjust to outdoor tempera­ture before clearing snow.
    WHILE OPERATING

  9. Never operate the snowthrower without good visi­ ability or light. Always maintain secure footing and keep a firm grip on the handle when clearing snow: walk never run. DO NOT USE A SNOW ROWER ON A ROOF.

  10. Do not run the engine indoors.

  11. Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of your body or clothing away from concealed, mov­ ing, or rotating parts. Stay behind the handle while operating the snow thrower. STAY CLEAR OF THE DISCHARGE AREA AT ALL TIMES.

  12. Do not attempt to make adjustments while the engine is running.

  13. Use extreme caution when clearing snow from a walk, road, or gravel drive. Push down on the handle to raise the skid and impeller blades so rocks are not picked up and thrown. Stay alert for hidden hazards and traffic on roads.

  14. Never direct discharge or operate the snowthrower near bystanders, glass enclosures, automobiles and trucks, window wells, or a drop-off without proper adjustment of the snow discharge angle. Keep children and pets away.

  15. Never direct snow discharge at bystanders, and do not allow anyone in front of the snow thrower.

  16. Never clear snow from steep slopes. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

  17. Do not overload the snowthrower by clearing snow at too fast a rate.

  18. If a solid object is hit or if the snowthrower vibrates abnormally, turn the key to OFF and wait for the engine and all moving parts to stop. Next, check the snow thrower for possible damage, obstruction, or lose parts. Repair damage before starting and operating the snow thrower.

  19. Before leaving the operator’s position — behind the handle — shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove the key from the switch if the snow­ thrower will be left unattended.

  20. Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, and inspecting the snow thrower, or before unclogging the discharge area, shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to stop.

  21. Let the engine run for a few minutes after clearing the snow so moving parts do not freeze.
    MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

  22. Never leave fuel in the snowthrower fuel tank when the snowthrower is stored in a building where there is flame or spark present. Allow the engine to cool before storing. Never store snowthrowers in the house or basement, as gasoline and fumes are amiable, explosive, and dangerous if inhaled.

  23. Before performing any maintenance or servic­ ing the snowthrower, turn-key OFF and wait for the engine and all moving parts to stop. Remove the key from the switch.

  24. Reinstall the fuel cap when the top cover is removed for maintenance procedures. Perform maintenance and use storage instructions described in this manual.

  25. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to assure the snow thrower is in safe working condition. Be sure to check the impeller and engine mounting bolts.

  26. ALWAYS USE TORO REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES TO ASSURE SAFETY AND OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE. NEVER USE “WILL-FIT” REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.

SAFETY DECALS
Safety and instruction decals are located on the impeller housing and just beneath the control panel. Replace any decal that is damaged.

PREPARATION BEFORE STARTING

CAUTION
Gasoline is flammable and caution must be used when handling or storing it. Do not fill the fuel tank while the snowthrower is running, hot, or when the snowthrower is in an enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, and electric sparks, and DO NOT SMOKE while mixing fuel or filling the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to within 1/4 — 1/2 inch (6.3 — 12.7 mm) from the top of the tank to provide space for the expansion of fuel. Never fill the fuel tank to the top of the filler neck. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep the cap in place on the container. Keep the gaso­ line in a cool, well-ventilated place; never in the house. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gaso­ line to assure volatility. Gasoline is intended to be used as a fuel for internal combustion engines; therefore, do not use gasoline for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gasoline, keep it out of their reach because the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as explosive.
MIX GASOLINE AND OIL
Tools Required: Gas Can, Funnel, and Clean Rag The two-cycle engine used in the S140 requires a mixture of GASOLINE and OIL for lubrication of bearings and other moving parts. The correct fuel mixture ratio is 32:1,
Note: Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean gasoline container. Never mix gasoline and oil indoors or in the snow thrower fuel tank. Always use fresh gasoline.
Store the oil indoors, so it will be at room temper­ature (above 50° F [10° C]) and will more readily mix with the gasoline.
Note: The Toro_Company recommends the_use of TORO 2cycle engine oil for optimum performance and engine longevity. is oil has been specially formulated To use in the S-140 snowthrower and may be obtained from your local TORO dealer.
CAUTION
Do not store the oil near an open flame or in an extremely warm environment as the oil is flammable.
IMPORTANT: When mixing fuel be sure to use the correct amounts of oil and gasoline depending on the units of measurement being used: U.S. Gallons, Imperial Gallons, or Liters. Using an incorrect fuel mixture may result in damage to your snow­ thrower. Do not use premium_g°, gasohol, white gas, or gasoline additives, Lead Regular gasoline is recommended; if not available, use unleaded gasoline.
U.S. GALLONS

  1. Add 1 U.S. quart of leaded REGULAR or unleaded gasoline to a gasoline container (Fig. 5).
  2. Pour 1/2 cup — 4 o. — of two-cycle engine oil into the gasoline container (Fig. 5). DO NOT use multi-viscosity oils.
  3. Shake the gasoline container vigorously so oil mixes with gasoline (Fig. 5). Remember to install a cap on the gasoline container before shaking.
  4. Add an additional 3 U.S. quarts of gasoline to the premixed gasoline (Fig. 5). Fuel mixture is now ready to use in our S140 Swwth:owe:TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 5

IMPERIAL GALLONS

  1. Add 1 Imperial quart of leaded REGULAR or unleaded gasoline to a gasoline container (Fig. 5B).
  2. Pour 5 Imperial oz. of two-cycle engine oil into the gasoline container (Fi. 5BJ. DO NOT use multi-viscosity oils,
  3. Shake the gasoline container vigorously so oil mixes with gasoline (Fig. 5B). Remember to install a cap on the gasoline container before shaking.
  4. Add an additional 3 Imperial quarts of gaso­line to the gasoline container {Fig. 5B}TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 6

LITERS

  1. Add 250 milliliters of leaded REGULAR or unleaded gasoline to a gasoline container (Fig. 5C).
  2. Pour 32 milliliters of two-cycle engine oil into the gasoline container (Fig. 5C D NOT use multi-viscosity oils
  3. Shake the gasoline container vigorously so oil mixes with gasoline (Fig. 5C). Remember to install a cap on the gasoline container before shaking.
  4. Add an additional 750 milliliters of gasoline to the gasoline container (Fig. 5C).TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 7

FILL FUEL TANK
Tools Required: Funnel and Clean Rag
IMPORTANT: Do not fill the fuel tank with gasoline that does not have oil mixed in it.

  1. Mix gasoline and oil; refer to Mix Gasoline and Oil.

  2. Clean the area around the snowthrower fuel tank cap so foreign matter does not get into the fuel tank. Remove the cap from the fuel tank.

  3. Shake the fuel mixture in the gasoline container; then fill the snowthrower fuel tank to within 1/4. 1/2 inch (6.3- 12.7 mm) from the top of the tank, not the filler neck.
    Note: When filling the fuel tank with a gasoline/oil mixture that has been sitting for some time, shake the mixture first because the oil may have settled.

  4. Install the cap securely on the snow thrower fuel tank.

STARTING AND STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

TO START THE ENGINE:

  1. Check the impeller and blades. There must not be an obstruction: the impeller must be free to rotate.

  2. Pull choke out (Fig, 6)TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 8

  3. Put your thumb on the center of the primer so the hole is covered and sealed (Fig. 6). Depending upon the temperature at which the machine is stored, push the primer one to two times. For temperatures above (F (-18°C) use one prime and below OF (-18°C), use two primes. In colder conditions, more primes may be necessary.
    Note: If the engine is hot, do not use a primer. Only use primer when the engine is cold. However, pull the choke out to start a hot engine.

  4. Turn the ignition key to ON (Fig. 6).

  5. To start S140 Recoil Start, put one hand on the lower handle to steady the snow thrower. Next, grasp the recoil starter handle (Fig. 6) and pull vig­orously to start the engine. If the engine does not start after four pulls, prime the engine again as described and pull the recoil starter handle four more times. Repeat this procedure until the engine starts.

  6. When the engine starts push the choke in. If the engine does not start, starts hard, or operates erratically a carburetor adjustment may be required: refer to Adjusting Carburetor, page 10. If the engine will not start or runs erratically after adjustment, contact your local Authorized Toro Service Dealer.

TO STOP THE ENGINE:

  1. Turn the ignition key to OFF (Fig. 6).
  2. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operator’s position –behind handles.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ADJUSTING VANES
Rotate the vane direction control (Fig. 7) to direct the discharge of snow to either side or to the front. After clearing snow, rotate the vane control so vanes are in the forwarding position,_not to either_side. If vanes are allowed to remain in a side position, the vanes may distort and take a somewhat permanent set. he set affects the normal and efficient discharge of snowTORO
S140 Snowthrower - Fig 9

OPERATING TIPS

  1. Use only a 32:1 gasoline/oil mixture ratio for running the engine.
  2. The snow thrower is designed to operate at temperatures not to exceed +45° F (7° C). When the unit is operated in temperatures above 445° F(7° C), the engine may overheat.
  3. Thoroughly inspect areas where snow throwers will be used. Remove door mats, sleds, toys, boards, wires, and anything else that may have been covered by the snow. While clearing snow, objects such as the preceding ones could be picked up and thrown by the impeller blades.
  4. For most efficient snow throwing, keep vanes vertical, discharge snow downwind, and overlap each swath slightly.
  5. When clearing snow from steps or cutting through deep drifts, hold the snow thrower by the upper and lower handles and use a sweeping side-to-side motion.
  6. The snowthrower will self-propel itself when it is tilted forward so impeller blades contact the ground. However, the depth and weight of the snow govern the forward speed of the snow thrower.
  7. Before storing the snow thrower, let the engine run for a few minutes so ice does not form on moving parts. Wipe ice and snow off the control panel and top of the upper shroud so control linkages do not freeze.
  8. Move vanes to a vertical position when storing the snow thrower. Hang the snow thrower by the upper handle for convenient storage.
  9. Keep the skids and drive chain properly ad­ just.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION
Your S140 is shipped from the factory properly lubricated for normal plowing conditions. No Hubris cation should be required during the initial use of the machine except for the oil that must be mixed! with gasoline.
All the bearings used in the S140 are pre-lubricated for life at the factory and require no additional lubrication.
A few drops of light machine oil placed on the drive chain once a year will adequately lubricate the chain and sprockets.
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
If chain tension is too loose, the chain will drag on the housing, causing excessive noise and wear. If the chain is too tight, the drive assembly may bind, damage, or break parts. When properly ad­ just, the chain should be snug with no more than 1/8 inch deflection or slack. If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

  1. Remove the chain guard from the left-hand side of it by removing three (3) self-tapping screws (Fig. 8)
  2. Remove the upper and lower shrouds by removing the fuel cap and mounting screws on the front panel Lift the covers off and reinstall the fuel cap. Disconnect the spark plug lead wire.TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 11
  3. Leason four (4) engine mounting nuts on the left-hand side of the engine (Fig, 10).TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 12
  4. Loosen the engine mounting bolt on the right-hand sid¢ of the unit (Fig. 11)TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 13
  5. Put the engine back unit chain is snug. Hana­ tighten four mounting nuts to hold the engine in place and to maintain proper chain tension (Fig. 12). Then tighten the nuts to 170-220 in./lbs using the tightening sequence shown in the illustration below. Tighten the bolt on the right side of the engine.TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 14

IMPORTANT: It is absolutely necessary that this tightening sequence be used to prevent damage to the engine crankshaft. Do not over-tighten the four nuts because the engine casting will break. Never attempt to install the chain on the engine sprocket by rolling the chain onto the sprocket when the engine is mounted firmly in place. 6. Replace the lower shroud, chain guard, spark plug lead wire, and upper shroud, making sure self-tapping screws are secure. Ensure the front panel is snapped into grooves in upper and lower shrouds before tightening the screws.

SKID ADJUSTMENT
Check for clearance of approximately 1/16″ to 1/8″ between the edges of both impeller blades and the forward edge of the skid. To adjust, proceed as follows:

  1. Loosen the front skid adjusting nut on both sides of the unit (Fig. 13).
  2. Adjust the skid to the proper position and fasten the skid adjusting the nut securely.
  3. Repeat the adjustment on the opposite side of the unit.

TORO S140 Snowthrower - Fig 15 Note: Adjust both sides equally. A parallel between the impeller blade and the ground should be maintained,
REPLACING SPARK PLUG
Use a Champion R418Y, or equivalent, for re­ placement. Check and reset the gap at .035 inches every 25 hours of operation. Apply a light coating of graphite grease on the threads before replacing the plug.  if the condition of the plug is doubtful, install a new pig. ADJUSTING CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been adjusted at the factory, but an adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, and altitude.
IMPORTANT: Do not close the power-adjusting screw too tight because the screw and seat will likely be damaged.

  1. Power Adjusting Screw (Fig. 15) — Close the screw by gently rotating it clockwise until a slight seating resistance is felt. Next, rotate the power-adjusting screw 7/8 of a turn counterclockwise.
    IMPORTANT: Do not close the idle by adjusting the screw too tight because the screw and seat will likely be damaged.

  2. Idle Adjusting Screw (Fig. 15) — Close the screw by gently rotating it clockwise until a slight seating resistance is felt. Next, rotate the idle adjusting screw 1 full turn — 360° counterclockwise.
    Note; The setting for the power-adjusting screw is approximate; however, this setting will allow the engine to be started so the carburetor can be fine-tuned — steps 3-4,

  3. Start the engine and let it warm up for approx­ imately 3.5 minutes. Do not adjust the carburetor when engine is cold. Be sure to perform carburetor adjustments while at a temperature that will be the average outdoor temperature at which the machine will be used.
    CAUTION
    The engine must be running so the final adjust­ ment of the carburetor can be perform­ ed. Stay away from the rotor because it turns while the engine is running. To guard against possible personal injury, keep hands, feet, and face away from con­ sealed, moving, or rotating parts.

  4. The power adjusting screw can be fine-tuned only while the engine is under load; that is, actually throwing snow. If the engine does not produce enough power while throwing snow, cease snow-throwing operation and rotate the power adjusting screw counterclockwise -out 1/8 turn at a time until enough power is produced. Repeat “loading” by throwing snow to confirm the adjustment.
    Note: If the engine smokes significantly, the car­ carburetor setting is too rich, To correct this condition, rotate the power adjusting screw clockwise.

PREPARING SNOWTHROWER FOR STORAGE

  1.  Remove the cap from the snowthrower fuel tank and tip the snowthrower upside down so the fuel drains into a container. After the fuel is drained, install a cap on the fuel tank. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.

  2. Start the engine and let the engine run until it stops because there is no fuel. When engine sput­ters, pull the choke out so fuel in the carburetor is ex­pended.
    CAUTION
    Because the gasoline/oil mixture in the snow­ thrower fuel tank is explosive, the fuel mixture must be drained outdoors, away from fire or flame. Do not smoke while draining gasoline. If fuel mixture ex­ provides, personal injury may result.
    Note: After fuel is drained from the fuel tank, there may not be enough fuel in the fuel system to start the engine. Nevertheless, the fuel must be expended to prevent [um-like varnish deposits from the Torrin Tecarburetoruel line, and fuel tank. Nuclleposits,
    If allowed to form will cause starting_problems next snow season. Therefore, if the engine will not start, pull the recoil starter handle 5 – 10 times to expend all fuel in the system.

  3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head: refer to Replacing Spark Plug, page 10. Next, pour two teaspoons of engine oil into the spark plug hole in the cylinder head. Pull the recoil starter slowly to distribute oil on the inside of the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug in the cylinder head and tighten it to 15 ft-lb.

  4. Clean the impeller, impeller housing, and exterior of the snow thrower.

  5. Remove the chain guard and oil chain and sprockets with a few drops of light machine oil. Wipe up ex­ cess and replace the guard.

  6. Tighten all screws and nuts. If any part is dam­ aged, repair or replaces it.

  7. Store the snowthrower in a clean, dry place, and cover it to give protection. Never store snow­ thrower in the house or basement.
