OPERATION
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
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.

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.

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.

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
“PRODUCTSPECIFICATIONS”sectionofthismanual.
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 “FULL” line 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, whicheveroccursfirst. Spark
plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual.
Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least
once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 50 hours
in one year.
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: Disconnectsparkplugwire
