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 en-
gine.
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.

OPERATION
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)
NOTE:Thewrenchprovidedinyourpartsbagmaybeused
to adjust the skid plates.
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.
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.
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.
•
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
overgravelorrockysurfaces.Objectssuchasgravel,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. 18)
•
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 skidplatesbylooseningthehexnuts, thenmov-
ing skid plate to desired position. Be sure both plates
are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.
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.

OPERATION
TO START ENGINE
•
SNOW THROWING TIPS
Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the “OPEN” position.
•
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with a recoil starter.
COLD START
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
•
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.
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
15° and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is
not necessary.
•
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
•
•
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
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.
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
6. Whentheenginestarts,releasetherecoilstarterhandle
and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this
section of this manual.
•
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.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
WARM START
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the “OFF”
position. DO NOT push the primer.
WARNING: Do not operate snow
throwerifweatherconditionsimpairvis-
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,
windysnowstormcan blind you and be
hazardous to the safe operation of the
snow thrower.
BEFORE STOPPING
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-
ture on the engine.
IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
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.

MAINTENANCE
AUGER GEAR CASE
•
•
•
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Catch oil in a suitable container.
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.
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).
•
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1
grease.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
1. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come
in contact with spark plug.
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.
2. Clean area around drain plug.
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
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).

plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual.
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.
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.

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.
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuelhose,ortankduringstorage.Also,alcoholblendedfuels
(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.
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
