Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting   the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or   out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust   fumes are dangerous.   16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.   Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute   Handcontactwiththerotatingimpellerinsidethedischarge   chute is the most common cause of injury associated with   snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis-   charge chute. To clear the chute:   1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!   2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have   stopped rotating.   8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.   3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.   9. Neveroperatethesnowthrowerwithoutproperguards,   and other safety protective devices in place and work-   ing.   Maintenance and Storage   1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals   for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe   working condition.   10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas   where property damage can occur. Keep children and   others away.   2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank   inside a building where ignition sources are present   such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes   dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any   enclosure.   3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details   if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended   period.   4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as   necessary.   5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow   to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.   11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting   to clear snow at too fast a rate.   12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds   on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when   operating in reverse.   13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow   thrower is transported or not in use.   14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by   the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel   weights, counterweights, or cabs).   15. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility   or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm   hold on the handles. Walk; never run.   CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a new snow   thrower.

Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height   for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in   normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,   place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper   clearance) 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.   WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or   fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline   near an open flame.   CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gaso-   hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract   moisture which leads to separation and forma-   tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can   damage the fuel system of an engine while in   storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel   system should be emptied before storage 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.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole   grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.   NOTE: Do not use primer when starting engine with the   SNOW THROWING TIPS   electric starter.   • Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use   the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to   adjust speed.   6. Push starter button until engine starts.   IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five continu-   ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to   10 seconds between each attempt.   7. When the engine starts, release the starter button and   slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.   • • It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-   diately 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 ex-   posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.   8. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first,   then from the engine.   • Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all   snow will be removed.   Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will   not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-   ing temperature.   • • Throw snow downwind whenever possible.   Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow   conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this   section of this manual.   WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER   Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the   “OFF” position.   • For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow   removal by overlapping previous path and moving   slowly.   COLD START - RECOIL STARTER   1. Insert safety ignition key (tied to recoil start cord) into   ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep   the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.   2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position.   3. Rotate choke control to “FULL” position.   4. Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is   below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between   15° and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is   not necessary.   • • • Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This   will help air flow and extend engine life.   Aftersnow-throwingiscompleted,allowenginetorunfor   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 impair   visibility.

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.   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 corrosion.   ENGINE SPEED   KLIK PIN   OUTER HOLE   Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set   for proper engine speed. Overspeeding 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 adjustments.   INNER   HOLE   WHEEL   WHEEL HUB   FIG. 21   TO ADJUST CABLE TENSION (See Fig. 22)   Adjust cable tension by turning the adjuster turn buckle,   located on the right hand cable. Grasp the long section   tightly and turn the short section to lengthen the adjuster.   Adjust until cable is snug.   ADJUSTER TURN   BUCKLE   FIG. 22   17   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Allowtheenginetocool   before storing in any enclosure.   ENGINE OIL   Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine   oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this   manual).   SNOW THROWER   When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,   clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.   Store in a clean, dry area.   1. Clean entire snow thrower (See “CLEANING” in the   Maintenance section of this manual).   2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE-   PLACEBELTS”intheServiceandAdjustmentssection   of this manual).   CYLINDER   1. Remove spark plug.   2.

Replace if necessary.   • • • 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.   5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand   lightly before painting.   • • If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover   it to protect it from dust and dirt.   Cover your snow thrower with a suitable protective   cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.   Plastic cannot breathe, which allows condensation to   form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.   ENGINE   See engine manual.   FUEL SYSTEM   IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/ex-   haust area is still warm.   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 carburetor are empty.   Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in   the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.   Use fresh fuel next season.   18   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
