6. Whencleaning,repairingorinspectingthesnowthrower,  
stop the engine and make certain the collector/impel-  
ler and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect  
the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the  
plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the  
engine.  
7. 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. It has been designed, engineered and manufac-  
tured to give best possible dependability and performance.

OPERATION  
USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 14)  
CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever  
when traction drive control lever is engaged.  
Damage to the snow thrower can result.  
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-  
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool  
to dislodge this blockage.  
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 au-  
ger/impellerandallmovingpartshavestopped.  
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the  
wire away from the spark plug to prevent ac-  
cidental 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  
you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust  
the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow  
throwing process.

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 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. 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  
overgravelorrockysurfaces.Objectssuchasgravel,rocks  
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the

5. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole  
grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.  
1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much  
rope out of the starter as possible.  
2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back  
against the starter.  
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or  
use the electric starter.  
NOTE: Do not use primer when starting engine with the  
electric starter.  
6. Push starter button until engine starts.  
SNOW THROWING TIPS  
Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use  
the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to  
adjust speed.  
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.  
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will  
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-  
ing temperature.  
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all  
snow will be removed.  
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.  
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.  
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER  
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts  
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.  
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.  
2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position.  
3. Rotate choke control to “FULLposition.  
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.  
WARNING: Do not operate snow  
thrower if weather conditions impair  
visibility. Throwing snow during a  
heavy, windysnowstormcanblindyou  
andbehazardoustothesafeoperation  
of the snow thrower.  
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.

STORAGE  
Immediately prepare your unit for storage at the end of the  
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.  
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.  
WARNING: Never store the snow  
throwerwithgasolineinthetankinside  
a building where fumes may reach an  
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a  
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or  
gasappliance. Allowtheenginetocool  
before storing in any enclosure.  
Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-  
imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.  
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.  
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.  
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to  
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the  
gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.  
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).  
ENGINE OIL  
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine  
oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this  
manual).  
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE-  
PLACEBELTSintheServiceandAdjustmentssection  
of this manual).  
3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this  
manual.  
4. Besurethatallnuts,bolts,screws,andpinsaresecurely  
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage  
and wear. Replace if necessary.  
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
CYLINDER  
1. Remove spark plug.  
2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole  
into cylinder.  
3. Pullrecoilstarterhandleslowlyafewtimestodistribute  
oil.  
4. Replace with new spark plug.  
OTHER  
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.  
ENGINE  
See engine manual.  
FUEL SYSTEM  
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.  
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.  
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/ex-  
18  
haust area is still warm.
