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,
andothersafetyprotectivedevicesinplaceandworking.
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas
where property damage can occur. Keep children and
others away.
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.
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.
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.
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a new snow
thrower. It has been designed, engineered and manufac-
tured to give best possible dependability and performance.

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.

OPERATION
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 16)
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 17)
used 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. 17)
•
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 hex nuts, then
moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure both
plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.
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. Empty 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
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt
A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
6. Whentheenginestarts,releasetherecoilstarterhandle
and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
•
Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER
WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C.three-wiregroundedsystem. Seri-
ous personal injury or damage to your
snow thrower could result.
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.
COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER
IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
1. Insert safety ignition key (tied to recoil start cord) into
ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep
the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position.
3. Rotate choke control to “FULL” position.
4. Connect the power cord to the engine.
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.
•
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
•
•
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.
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER
1. Insert safety ignition key (tied to recoil start cord) into
ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep
the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” 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.
•
•
•
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.
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.

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).
1. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come
in contact with plug.
•
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.
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1
grease.
•
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
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.
CAUTION:Anylubricatingoftheabovecompo-
nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.
6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to
install klik pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO
REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TO REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 22)
Remove the klik pin and remove wheel from axle.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
•
IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the in-
nermost hole in axle and the wheel hub hole. To disengage
drive system from the wheels (for pushing or transporting
the snow thrower), remove klik pin from wheel hub and
insert pin into the outermost hole in axle only.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134
meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower
to a qualified service center.
NOTE: To seal punctures or 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.
ENGINE SPEED
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above
the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will
void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high
speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center,
which has proper equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.

•
•
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.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
•
•
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.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/ex-
haust area is still warm.
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.
•
•
•
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.
Use fresh fuel next season.
