AUGER BELT  
ASSEMBLING THE BELTS  
Make sure the auger belt is correctly assembled to  
the snow thrower. The belt must pass over the top  
of the auger pulley and then twist 1/4 turn to pass  
underneath the two side idler pulleys on the snow  
thrower. The "V" side of the belt must seat in the  
grooves of all three pulleys. See figure 22.  
IMPORTANT: The tapered "V" section of the belts must  
be seated into the grooves of the V-pulleys.  
DRIVE BELT  
Remove the two outside 1/8" hairpin clips which are  
assembled to the L.H. and R.H. tension adjusting  
chains outside of the clutch idler assembly frame.  
(The clips will be reinstalled after both belts have  
been assembled.) Do not remove the 3/32" hairpin  
clips assembled to the chains on the inside of the  
assembly frame. See figure 21.  
AUGER PULLEY  
Assemble the drive belt onto the tractor's engine  
pulley and then onto the upper rear pulley on the  
clutch/idler assembly. Keep the flat idler pulley on the  
outside of the belt. See figure 21.

BEFORE STARTING  
HOW TO START YOUR SNOW THROWER  
Use the end of assembly checklist to verify that all  
instructions have been properly completed.  
Make sure the skid shoes are adjusted to maintain  
adequate ground clearance between the snow  
thrower and the type of surface to be cleared. The  
skid shoes are factory adjusted for clearing a smooth  
surface. (Refer to the Service and Adjustments  
section in this manual.)  
The tractor should be sitting with the engine running  
at full throttle. Pull the attachment clutch switch out to  
the engaged position, starting the snow thrower before  
starting the tractor in motion.  
HOW TO STOP YOUR SNOW THROWER  
To stop the snow thrower, push in the attachment  
clutch switch on the tractor. Refer to the Operation  
section in your tractor owner's manual.  
Make sure the tractor engine has the correct oil for  
winter operation. Refer to your tractor owner's manual.

In extremely deep snow, raise the snow thrower from  
the ground to remove the top layer and drive forward  
only until the tractors front tires reach the uncleared  
bottom layer of snow. Depress the tractor's clutch-  
brake pedal and allow the spiral auger to clear the  
snow. Reverse the tractor and lower the snow thrower  
to the ground. Drive the tractor forward until the snow  
again becomes too deep. Repeating this process into  
and out of drifts will eventually clear even the deepest  
of snow piles.  
HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER  
CAUTION: Never direct discharge  
towards bystanders or windows. Do not  
allow anyone in front of unit.  
CONTROLLING SNOW DISCHARGE  
To control the direction snow is thrown, the discharge  
chute has 180 degrees of rotation. Turn the crank rod  
clockwise to rotate the chute to the right. Turn the  
crank rod counterclockwise to rotate the chute to the  
left.  
If the snow thrower becomes clogged with snow or  
jammed with a foreign object, disengage the snow  
thrower immediately and shut off the tractor engine.  
Unclog the snow thrower before resuming operation.  
To control the distance snow is thrown, the upper  
section of the discharge chute pivots up and down.  
Push forward on the chute tilt handle to pivot the  
chute down, decreasing the distance snow is thrown.  
Pull back on the handle to pivot the chute up,  
increasing the distance snow is thrown.  
DANGER: Shut off engine and  
disengage snow thrower before  
unclogging discharge chute. Unclog using  
a wooden stick, not your hands.  
RAISING AND LOWERING  
To raise, push down on the lift handle until the snow  
thrower locks in the raised transport position.  
To lower, push down slightly on the lift handle and pull  
the trigger. With the trigger pulled, slowly lower the  
snow thrower until it reaches the ground.  
OPERATING TIPS  
CAUTION: Do not operate the snow  
thrower without the rear weight attached  
to the tractor to provide extra traction and  
stability.  
Discharge snow down wind whenever possible.  
To help prevent snow from sticking to the snow  
thrower, allow the snow thrower to reach outdoor  
temperature before using it. A light coat of wax may  
also be applied to the inside surface of the snow  
thrower housing and discharge chute.  
Use tire chains to improve traction.  
Use rear wheel weights to improve traction.  
Before the first snowfall, remove all stones, sticks  
and other objects which could become hidden by the  
snow. Permanent obstacles should be marked for  
visibility.  
REMOVING SNOW  
Snow removal conditions vary greatly from light fluffy  
snowfall to wet heavy snow. Operating instructions must  
be flexible to fit the conditions encountered. The operator  
must adapt the lawn tractor and snow thrower to depth of  
snow, wind direction, temperature and surface conditions.  
Overlap each pass slightly to assure complete snow  
removal.  
Before beginning operation, thoroughly inspect the  
area of operation and remove all door mats, sleds,  
boards, wires and other foreign objects.  
The spiral auger speed is directly related to engine  
speed. For maximum snow removal and discharge,  
maintain high engine r.p.m. (full throttle). It is advisable  
to operate the lawn tractor at a slow ground speed  
(1st gear) for safe and efficient snow removal.  
In deep, drifted or banked snow it will be necessary to  
use full throttle and a slow ground speed (1st gear).  
Drive forward into the snow, depress the tractor's  
clutch-brake pedal and allow the spiral auger to clear  
the snow. Repeat this method until a path is cleared.  
On the second pass, overlap the first enough to allow  
the snow thrower to handle the snow without repeated  
stopping and starting of forward motion.

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS  
LUBRICATION  
Before each use make a thorough visual check of the  
snow thrower for any bolts and nuts which may have  
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.  
Oil all pivot points on snow thrower lift mechanism.  
Oil upper and lower idler arm pivot points on the  
clutch/idler assembly.  
Apply a good grade of spray lubricant to the trigger  
assembly on the lift handle and the chute tilt control  
assembly and cables on the crank support tube. See  
figure 26.  
Apply a small amount of oil between the inside of the  
discharge chute and the top of the discharge opening  
on the auger housing as needed to maintain easy  
rotation of the discharge chute. See figure 26.  
CHECK BELTS FOR WEAR  
Visually check both of the "V" belts on the snow  
thrower for wear or damage. Replace if the belt cover  
has become torn, frayed of is worn through.  
CHECK SCRAPER AND SHOES FOR WEAR  
(Refer to figures 27 and 28 on page 18.)  
The scraper plate, skid shoes and leveling shoes on  
the snow thrower are subject to wear through normal  
use. To prevent damage to the spiral auger housing,  
replace plate and shoes before wear is excessive.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
CAUTION: Before servicing or adjusting  
SKID SHOE, LEVELING SHOE ADJUSTMENT  
(The snow thrower must be attached to the tractor for  
correct adjustment of the shoes.)  
the snow thrower, shut off the engine,  
remove the spark plug wire(s), set the  
parking brake and remove the key from the  
tractor ignition.  
The skid shoes regulate the distance the scraper  
plate is raised above the plowing surface. They are  
mounted on each side of the spiral auger housing.  
The leveling shoes help maintain the snow thrower  
in a level position. They are mounted just behind the  
auger housing.  
When removing snow from a gravel driveway or an  
uneven surface, it is advisable to keep the scraper  
plate as high above the surface as possible to prevent  
possible damage to the spiral auger. On a smooth  
blacktop or concrete surface, keep the scraper plate  
as close to the surface as possible.  
To adjust the skid shoes, raise the snow thrower off  
the ground and place a wood block under each end  
of the scraper plate. Loosen the six hex nuts securing  
the skid shoes to the housing. Adjust the skid shoes  
up or down to the desired position and tighten the  
nuts securely. Both skid shoes should be the same  
height to keep the housing and the scraper plate level.  
See figure 28.  
REPLACING AUGER BELT  
Raise the snow thrower to the transport position.  
Release the spring tension on the drive belt idler.  
Release the spring tension on the auger belt idler.  
Remove the belt cover and loosen the belt keeper  
bracket (items 18 and 19 on page 20).  
Remove the auger belt from the clutch/idler assembly  
and from the spiral auger housing.  
Install new belt around top of auger drive pulley and  
underneath the two side idler pulleys. Twist the belt  
1/4 turn to seat it in each idler pulley.  
Reinstall the belt cover and tighten the belt keeper  
bracket (items 18 and 19 on page 20).  
Assemble the belt onto the clutch/idler assembly as  
instructed for figure 23 on page 13.  
LIFT RELEASE CABLE ADJUSTMENT  
If the lift rod does not lock the snow thrower  
securely in the transport position, loosen the upper  
hex nut on the lift bracket a few turns and tighten the  
lower hex nut. See figure 17 on page 10.  
The skid shoes may be turned to face either in or  
out. In order to obtain the lowest setting, where the  
scraper blade fully contacts the ground, the skid  
shoes must be facing out as shown in figure 28.  
Before adjusting the leveling shoes, make sure the  
skid shoes are properly adjusted. With the snow  
thrower in the lowered position, loosen the bolts which  
fasten the leveling shoes to the thrower and adjust the  
leveling shoes to solidly contact the ground. Retighten  
the bolts. See figure 28.  
If the lift rod fails to unlock completely to lower the  
snow thrower to the ground, loosen the lower hex nut  
on the lift bracket a few turns and tighten the upper  
hex nut. Refer to figure 17 on page 10.  
SPIRAL AUGERS  
The spiral augers are secured to the auger shaft with  
two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a foreign  
object or if ice jams the augers, the snow thrower is  
designed so that the bolts will shear.  
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the shear  
bolts have sheared. See figure 27. Two replacement  
shear bolts and hex lock nuts have been provided with  
the snow thrower. For future use order part number  
710-0891 shear bolt and number 43064 hex lock nut.

PARTS TO REMOVE AT END OF SEASON  
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS  
Remove the "V" belt from the engine pulley and the  
clutch/idler assembly. See figure 21 on page 12.  
Remove the clutch/idler assembly. (The two hanger  
brackets and the two frame brackets should not create  
any interference with the mower deck and may be left  
attached to the tractor frame.)  
Lower the snow thrower to the ground and remove it  
from the tractor.  
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly. Wash off any salt  
deposits which may have dried on the thrower and  
housing.  
Any bare metal that has become exposed should be  
painted or coated with a light oil to prevent rust.  
Store in a dry place.  
If a rear mounted attachment is to be used, remove  
the rear weight tray by removing the two bolts which  
fasten it to the tractor draw bar and by loosening the  
two bolts fastening the tray's brace arms to the tractor.  
Be sure to retighten the two bolts and nuts which  
fastened the brace arms to the tractor. See figure 24  
on page 13.  
If a front mounted attachment is to be used,  
remove the side plates from the front of the tractor.  
Be sure to reassemble the removed bolts and nuts to  
the tractor frame. See figures 1 and 2 on page 6.  
REMOVING THE SPIRAL AUGER HOUSING  
Raise the snow thrower to the transport position.  
Release the spring tension from the auger belt idler  
arm on the bottom of the clutch/idler assembly.  
Remove the auger drive belt from the clutch/idler  
assembly. See figure 23 on page 13.  
Lower the snow thrower to the ground.  
Remove the attachment pin and pull the auger  
housing assembly off of the tractor. Refer to figure 20  
on page 11.  
HINT: If the auger housing does not remove easily from
