Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.  
Keep clear of the discharge opening and front auger  
area at all times.  
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting  
to clear snow at too fast a rate.  
Never operate the machine at high transport speeds  
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when  
backing up.  
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or cross-  
ing gravel drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden  
hazards or traffic.  
Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone  
in front of the unit.  
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor),  
remove wire from the spark plug, thoroughly inspect  
snow thrower for any damage, and repair the damage  
before restarting and operating the snow thrower.  
Disengage power to the auger/impeller when snow  
thrower is transported or not in use.  
Use only attachments and accessories approved by  
the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel  
weights,counterweights,cabs,tirechains,electricstart  
kits, etc.).  
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.  
Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the oper-  
ating position, before unclogging the auger/impeller  
housing or discharge chute and when making any  
repairs, adjustments, or inspections.  
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.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times.  
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain  
all controls are disengaged and the auger/impeller and  
all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark  
plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug  
to prevent accidental starting.  
This snow thrower is for use on sidewalks, driveways  
and other ground level surfaces.

OPERATION  
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 19)  
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or  
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline  
near an open ame.  
NOTE:Thewrenchprovidedinyourpartsbagmaybeused  
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 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.  
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called  
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-  
tract moisture which leads to separation and  
formation 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. Drain the gas tank, start  
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines  
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next  
season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional  
information. Never use engine or carburetor  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.  
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  
damage 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 clearance) position.

COLD START - RECOIL STARTER  
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at  
1. Insert safety ignition key into the ignition slot until it  
clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep the extra safety  
ignition key in a safe place.  
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.  
2. Place throttle control in FAST position.  
3. Rotate choke control to FULL position.  
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-  
diately after it falls.  
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.  
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.  
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all  
snow will be removed.  
NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the  
engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few  
minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the  
primer.  
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.  
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter  
rope to snap back.  
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow  
removal by overlapping previous path and moving  
slowly.  
6. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter  
handle and slowly move the choke control to the OFF  
position.  
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use.This  
will help air flow and extend engine life.  
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will  
not develop full power until it has reached normal operating  
temperature.  
Aftersnow-throwingiscompleted,allowenginetorunfor  
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.  
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER  
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each  
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.  
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF  
position. DO NOT push the primer.  
BEFORE STOPPING  
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-  
ture on the engine.  
WARNING: Do not operate snow  
throwerifweatherconditionsimpairvis-  
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,  
windy snowstorm can blind you and be  
hazardous to the safe operation of the  
snow thrower.  
To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, proceed as fol-

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. Checkcontrolstobesuretheyarefunctioningproperly.  
LUBRICATION  
Keep your snow thrower well lubricated (See “LUBRI-  
CATION CHART”).  
SNOW THROWER  
Always observe the safety rules when performing any  
maintenance.  
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  
corrosion.

MAINTENANCE  
V-BELTS  
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL  
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50  
hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts  
are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from  
wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service  
and Adjustments section of this manual).  
Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil  
change. All oil must meet API service classification SF-SJ.  
Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.  
Oil will drain more freely when warm.  
Catch oil in a suitable container.  
TheV-beltsonyoursnowthrowerareofspecialconstruction  
andshouldbereplacedbyoriginalequipmentmanufacturer  
(OEM)beltsavailablefromyournearestdealer.Usingother  
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to  
the snow thrower.  
NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow  
thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place-  
ment 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).  
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.  
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place  
wire where it cannot come in contact with spark plug.  
2. Clean area around drain plug.  
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.  
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.  
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.  
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM  
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.  
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.  
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).  
CAUTION:Anylubricatingoftheabovecompo-  
nents can cause contamination of the friction  
wheel and damage to the drive system of your  
snow thrower.  
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. Pour  
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see  
“PRODUCTSPECIFICATIONSsectionofthismanual.  
ENGINE  
See engine manual.  
9. Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be  
sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate  
reading. Keep oil at “FULLline on dipstick.  
LUBRICATION  
10. Wipe off any spilled oil.  
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service  
classification SF-SJ. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade  
according to your expected operating temperature.  
MUFFLER  
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could create a  
fire hazard and/or damage.  
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.  
SPARK PLUG  
Replacesparkplugatthebeginningofeachseasonorafter  
every100hoursofoperation, whicheveroccursrst. Spark  
plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PRODUCT
