RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
IMPORTANT
WARNING: Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot make contact with
spark plug to prevent accidental starting during: Preparation, Maintenance, or Storage of your
snowthrower.
Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers
As Recommended By: American National Standards Institute.
a. Use an approved fuel container.
b. Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel to a running en-
gine (motor) or hot engine (motor).
Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and
certain vehicle components contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.
c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel
tank indoors.
d. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
e. Never store fuel or snowthrower with fuel in the tank
inside of a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
f. Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space for
expansion as the heat of the engine (motor) and/or sun
can cause fuel to expand.
Battery posts, terminals and related accesso-
ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
5. For all units with electric starting motors use electric
starting extension cords certified CSA/UL. Use only with
a receptacle that has been installed in accordance with
local inspection authorities.
6. Adjust the snowthrower height to clear gravel or crushed
rock surface.
7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the en-
gine (motor) is running (except when specifically recom-
mended by manufacturer).
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence
controls to minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is
equipped with such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the
function of the operator presence control under any cir-
cumstances.
8. Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor
temperatures before starting to clear snow.
9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during oper-
ation or while performing an adjustment or repair to pro-
tect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from
the snowthrower.
Training
1. Read the operating and service instruction manual care-
fully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never
allow adults to operate the equipment without proper
instruction.

ards or traffic.
5. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor),
remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly inspect
snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage
before restarting and operating the snowthrower.
6. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

thrower unattended. Disengage the auger/ impeller, stop
engine (motor), and remove key.
3. Always refer to operator’s guide instructions for import-
ant details if the snowthrower is to be stored for an ex-
tended period.
10.Do not run the engine (motor) indoors, except when
starting the engine (motor) and for transporting the
snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside
doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CAR-
BON MONOXIDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
5. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after throwing
snow to prevent freeze- up of the auger/impeller.
11. Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do

OPERATION
The operation of any snowthrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snowthrower
Operation. We recommend standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles.
SNOWTHROWER OPERATION
TO THROW SNOW
The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established
by experience, taking into consideration the terrain, wind
conditions and building location which will determine the
direction of the discharge chute.
1. Push down the auger driver lever (right hand). See
Figure 13.
2. To stop throwing snowl, release the auger drive lever.
NOTE: When clearing wet, heavy snow, it is
recommended that the ground speed of the unit be
reduced, maintain full throttle and do not attempt to
clear the full width of the unit.
NOTE: Do not blow snow toward a building as hidden
objects could be blown with sufficient force to cause
damage.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Check the oil
into engine and spark plug wire is attached to spark plug.
If torque wrench is available, torque plug to 18-23 ft-lbs.
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled
with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
WARNING: Gasoline is flammable. Always use
caution when handling or storing gasoline. Do
not add gasoline to the fuel tank while snow-
thrower is running, hot, or when snowthrower is in an
enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical
sparks and DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank.
Never fill the fuel tank completely; but fill the fuel tank
to within 1/4-1/2 inch (6.5-12.5 mm) from the top to pro-
vide space for the expansion of the fuel. Always fill fuel
tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spil-
ling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before start-
ing the engine.
Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep
the cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline in a
cool well ventilated place; never in the house. Never
buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline 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 be-
cause the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as be-
ing explosive.
1. Make sure the unit is level.
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick. Check the oil.
NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the
engine runs.
3. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark
on the oil fill/cap dipstick (see Figure 16). Do not add too
much oil.
NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of 0_F
(-18 _ C) and below, use a synthetic 0W30 motor oil for
easier starting.

thrown by the machine.
OPERATING TIPS
1. For optimum snowthrower efficiency, adjust ground
speed, not the throttle. REMEMBER - if the wheels slip,
forward speed will be reduced. The engine is designed
to deliver optimum performance at full throttle and must
be run at this power setting at all times.
7. After the snowblowing job has been completed, allow the
engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice ac-
cumulated on the engine.
2. Most efficient snowblowing is accomplished when snow
is removed immediately after it falls.
8. Remove ice and snow accumulation from the entire
snowthrower to prevent obstructions and possible dam-
age when snowthrower is subsequently operated.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath
previously taken.
4. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever pos-
sible.
9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and
impeller for ice accumulation and/or debris, which could
result in snowthrower damage.
5. For normal usage, set the skids one-eighth inch (3 mm)
below the scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow
surfaces, the skids may be adjusted upward to insure
cleaning efficiency.
10. Check oil level before every start. fill to “SAFE” indication
prior to operating snowthrower.

OFF SEASON STORAGE
Maintenance section).
WARNING: Never store the engine, with fuel in
the tank, indoors or in a poor ventilated enclo-
sure where fuel fumes could reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer, etc.
6. Insure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fas-
tened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage,
breakage, and wear. Replace if necessary.
Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and
careless use could result In serious fire damage to your
person and /or property.
Drain fuel into approved containers outdoors, away
from open flame.
7. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly
before painting.
8. Cover the bare metal parts of the blower housing auger,
and the impeller with rust preventative.
If the snowthrower is to be stored for thirty (30) days or more
at the end of the snow season, the following steps are
recommended to prepare your snowthrower for storage.
9. If possible, store your snowthrower indoors and cover it
to give protection from dust and dirt.
10. On models with folding handles, loosen the fasteners
that secure the upper handle. Rotate the upper handle
back.
NOTE: Gasoline must be removed or treated to prevent
gum deposits from forming in the tank, filter, hose, and
carburetor during storage.
1. To remove gasoline, run engine until tank is empty and
engine stops.
11. If the machine must be stored outdoors, block up the s-
nowthrower and insure the entire machine is off the
ground. Cover the snowthrower with a heavy tarpaulin.
If you do not want to remove the gasoline, add fuel stabilizer
to any gasoline left in the tank to minimize gum deposits and
acids. If the tank is almost empty, mix stabilizer with fresh
gasoline in a separate container and add some to the tank.
ALWAYS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON STABILIZER
CONTAINER. THEN RUN ENGINE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES
AFTER STABILIZER IS ADDED TO ALLOW MIXTURE TO
REACH CARBURETOR. STORE SNOWTHROWER IN
SAFE PLACE.
REMOVING THE SNOWTHROWER FROM
STORAGE
When removing the snowthrower from storage, follow the
steps below.
1. Put the upper handle in the operating position, tighten the
knobs that secure the upper handle.
2. You can help keep your engine (4-cycles only) in good
operating condition by changing oil before storage.
2. Fill the fuel tank with a fresh fuel.
3. Lubricating the piston/cylinder area. This can be done by
first removing the spark plug and squirting clean engine
oil into the spark plug hole. Then cover the spark plug
hole with a rag to absorb oil spray. Next, rotate the engine
by pulling the starter two or three times. Finally, reinstall
spark plug and attach spark plug wire.
3. Check the spark plug. Make sure the gap is correct. If the
spark plug is worn or damaged, replace before using.
4. Make sure all fasteners are tight.
5. Make sure all guards, shields, and covers are in place.
