Your snow thrower was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. If you violate any of these rules, you may cause serious injury to yourself or others.

1. TRAINING

• Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety before attempting to assemble or operate this machine. Be completely familiar with the controls and the proper use of this machine before operating it. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.

• Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a snow thrower. Children 14 years old and over should only operate snow thrower under close parental supervision. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use your snow thrower.

• No one should operate this unit while intoxicated or while taking medication that impairs the senses or reactions.

• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, especially small children and pets.

• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse.

2. PREPARATION

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all door mats, sleds, boards, wires and other foreign objects.

• Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting engine.

• Do not operate equipment without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Do not wear jewelry, long scarfs or other loose clothing which could become entangled in moving parts. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

• Before working with gasoline, extinguish all cigarettes and other sources of ignition. Check the fuel before starting the engine. Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Do not fill the gasoline tank indoors, while the engine is running, or until engine has been allowed to cool at least two minutes. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.

• Use a grounded three wire plug-in for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.

• Adjust collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.

• Never attempt to make any adjustments while engine is running (except where specifically recommended by manufacturer).

• Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperature before starting to clear snow.

• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine in any direction.

3. OPERATION

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of discharge opening and auger at all times.

• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry passengers.

• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove wire from spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow thrower.

3

• If the snow thrower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

• Stop engine whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge guide, and making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections. Never place your hand in the discharge or collector openings.

Use a stick or wooden broom handle to unclog the discharge opening.

• Take all possible precautions when leaving the unit unattended. Disengage the collector/impeller, stop the engine, and remove the key.

• When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect spark plug wire and keep away from plug to prevent accidental starting.

• Do not run engine indoors, except when starting engine and transporting snow thrower in or out of building. Open doors. Exhaust fumes are dangerous.

• Do not clear snow across the face of slopes.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.

• Never operate snow thrower without guards, plates, or other safety protection devices in place.

• Never operate snow thrower near glass enclosure, automobiles, window wells, drop off, etc., without proper adjustments of snow thrower discharge angle. Keep children and pets away.

• Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.

• Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when backing.

• Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front of unit.

• Disengage power to collector/impeller when transporting or not in use.

• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of snow thrower (such as wheel weights, counter weights, cabs, etc.).

• 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.

• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.

4. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, etc., at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present, such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

• Always refer to operator's manual instructions for important details if snow thrower is to be stored for an extended period.

• Run machine a few minutes after throwing snow to prevent freeze up of collector/impeller.

• Check clutch controls periodically to verify they engage and disengage properly and readjust if necessary. Refer to operator's manual for adjustment instructions.

Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move control levers back and forth several times. Leave throttle control lever in the STOP or

OFF position. Leave choke control in the FULL choke position.

TO ENGAGE DRIVE/AUGER

1.

With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever into one of the FORWARD or

REVERSE positions. Select a speed appropriate for the snow conditions that exist. Use the slower speeds until you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

2.

Squeeze the left hand auger control clutch to engage auger.

3.

While the left hand auger control clutch is engaged, engage the right hand traction control clutch.

NOTE:

NEVER move shift lever without first releasing the drive clutch.

TIRE CHAINS

(OPTIONAL)

Use tire chains when extra traction is necessary.

OPERATING TIPS

NOTE:

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes as the engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.

WARNING: Temperature of muffler and surrounding areas may exceed 150 o

F.

Avoid these areas.

• For most efficient snow removal, remove snow immediately after it falls.

• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly overlap each previous swath.

13

• Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when using on gravel or crushed rock.

• Be certain to follow the precautions listed under ‘‘To Stop Engine’’ in previous column to prevent possible freeze-up.

• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

SECTION 8: ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Never attempt to clean chute or make any adjustments while engine is running.

ADJUSTING CHUTE

You can control the distance that snow is thrown by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. The sharper the angle, the shorter the distance snow is thrown.

1.

To adjust the chute, loosen the hand knob. See

Figure 24.

2.

Pivot the top of the chute assembly to the position desired.

2.

Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the six self-tapping screws.

3.

With the traction control clutch released, check if there is clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. For correct adjustment there has to be enough clearance.

4.

With the traction control clutch engaged, check if the friction wheel is contacting the drive plate.

See Figure 25.

5.

If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable, and thread cable in or out as necessary.

Adjustments section before operating the snow thrower.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.

Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load.

Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit for carburetor adjustment information.

DRIVE WHEELS

The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the klick pins in one of two different holes on the right side of the unit. See Figure 26.

1.

One Wheel Driving—Place klick pin in the outside axle hole on the right side. This position gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver.

2.

Both Wheels Driving—Place klick pin in the hole in the hub next to the rim on the right side.

This position is good for heavy snow as there is power drive in both wheels.

MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY FOR:

The limited warranty set forth below is given by MTD

PRODUCTS INC (“MTD”) with respect to new merchandise purchased and used in the United States, its possessions and territories.

MTD warrants this product against defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) years commencing on the date of original purchase and will, at its option, repair or replace, free of charge, any part found to be defective in material or workmanship. This limited warranty shall only apply if this product has been operated and maintained in accordance with the Operator’s Manual furnished with the product, and has not been subject to misuse, abuse, commercial use, neglect, accident, improper maintenance, alteration, vandalism, theft, fire, water or damage because of other peril or natural disaster. Damage resulting from the installation or use of any accessory or attachment not approved by MTD Products Inc. for use with the product(s) covered by this manual will void your warranty as to any resulting damages.

Normal wear parts or components thereof are subject to separate terms as follows: All normal wear part or component failures will be covered on the product for a period of

90 days regardless of cause. After 90 days, but within the two year period, normal wear part failures will be covered

ONLY IF caused by defects in material or workmanship of

OTHER component parts. Normal wear parts and components include, but are not limited to, belts, blades, blade adapters, grass bags, rider deck wheels, seats, snow thrower skid shoes, shave plates and tires. Batteries are covered by a 90-day limited replacement warranty.

HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE: Warranty service is available, WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE THROUGH YOUR

LOCAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER. To locate the dealer in your area, please check for a listing in the Yellow

Pages or contact the Customer Service Department of

MTD PRODUCTS INC by calling 1-800-800-7310 or writing to P.O. Box 368022, Cleveland, Ohio 44136-9722. No product returned directly to the factory will be accepted unless prior written permission has been extended by the

Customer Service Department of MTD PRODUCTS INC.

This limited warranty does not provide coverage in the following cases:

a. The engine or component parts thereof. These items carry a separate manufacturer’s warranty. Please refer to the applicable manufacturer’s warranty on these items.

b. Routine maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade sharpening and tune-ups, or adjustments such as brake adjustments, clutch adjustments or deck adjustments; and normal deterioration of the exterior finish due to use or exposure.

c. Log splitter pumps, valves and cylinders have a separate one year warranty.

d. MTD does not extend any warranty for products sold or exported outside of the United States of America, its possessions and territories, except those sold through MTD’s authorized channels of export distribution.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, applies after the applicable period of express written warranty above as to the parts as identified. No other express warranty or guaranty, whether written or oral, except as mentioned above, given by any person or entity, including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any product shall bind MTD. During the period of the Warranty, the exclusive remedy is repair or replacement of

the product as set forth above. (Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.)

The provisions as set forth in this Warranty provide the sole and exclusive remedy arising from the sales. MTD shall not be liable for incidental or consequential loss or damages including, without limitation, expenses incurred for substitute or replacement lawn care services, for transportation or for related expenses, or for rental expenses to temporarily replace a warranted

product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.)

In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the amount of the purchase price of the product sold. Alteration of the safety features of the product shall void this Warranty. You assume the risk and liability for loss, damage, or injury to you and your property and/or to others and their property arising out of the use or misuse or inability to use the product.

This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than the original purchaser, original lessee or the person for whom it was purchased as a gift.

How State Law Relates to this Warranty: This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
