Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
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 pre-
vent accidental starting.
NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers
are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the
auger control lever in the engaged position.This will allow

OPERATION
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 20)
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 22)
NOTE:Thewrenchprovidedinyourpartsbagmaybeused
to adjust the skid plates.
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.
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.
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert
the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
•
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
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.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 22)
•
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-
fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
•
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.
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Adjust skid plates by loosening the rear 1/2" hex nut
only,thenmovingskidplatetodesiredposition.Besure
both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas-
ohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and for-
mation 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.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
•
•
•
•
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
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.
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.
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the
OFF position.
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER
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.
2. Place throttle control in FAST 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

wire where it cannot come in contact with 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

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.
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.
WARNING: Disconnectsparkplugwire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with plug.
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.
