A WARNING
This unit is a “two-stage” snowthrower. The first stage
is the auger, which feeds the snow back into the
impeller housing. The second stage is the impeller
which throws the snow out the discharge chute. If
bodily contact is made with the auger orimpelier when
they are rotating, severe personal injury will occur. To
avoid injury, keep others and yourself away from the
auger and the discharge chute whenever the engine is
running. See Safety Rules on the following pages.

Important: After each use of the snowthrower, stop the engine,
remove the ignition key, remove all accumulated snow from the
snowthrower and wipe clean. Store the snowthrower in a
protected area.
Operation
SNOWTHROWER OPERATION
The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established by
experience, taking into consideration the terrain, wind
conditions and the depth and weight of the snow. It is the wind
conditions and building location which will determine the
direction of the discharge chute. Since the wind will tend to blow
the discharged snow back into the cleared area, it will be
necessary to change the chute direction to offset this condition.
NOTE
Do not throw snow towards a building as hidden objects
could be thrown with sufficient force to cause damage.
To engage the self-propelling drive mechanism, proceed as
follows:
1. Start the engine as described in paragraph To Start Engine.
2. Using the chute control rod (C, figure 1), position the
discharge chute so as to discharge the snow with the wind.
Set the discharge deflector (D, figure 1) for desired angle.
4. Select proper speed for snow conditions as outlined below
and set shift lever to desired position.
a. Number | position is for extra deep, wet heavy snow.
b. Number 2 position 1s for deep, wet heavy snow.
Experience will help make the choice between positions |
and 2.
c. Number 3 position is for light fluffy snow and for
transporting snowthrower over bare or cleared areas.

Normal Care
The snowthrower should be immediately prepared for storage at
the end of the season or if the snowthrower is to be unused for 30
days or more.
ÁN Warninc
Never store engine with fuel in tank indoors or in enclosed,
poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach
an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer, etc.
Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and
careless use could result in serious fire damage to your
person and/or property.
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from
open flame.
ENGINE STORAGE
Gasoline, if permitted to stand unused for extended periods (30
days or more), may develop gummy deposits which can adversely
affect the engine carburetor and cause engine malfunction. To
avoid this condition, add a gasoline stabilizer (available from
your dealer) or proceed as follows:
I. Prior to shutdown for 30 days or more, and for seasonal
storage, drain gasoline from fuel tank. It is not necessary to
drain tank if stabilizer is used.
2. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to
lack of fuel.
Remove fuel line at tank or carburetor and drain any
remaining gasoline from system.
Remove spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil -
through spark plug hole into cylinder. Crank engine several
times to distribute oil. Reinstall spark plug.
Clean the snowthrower thoroughly; remove all debris and
wipe the snowthrower dry. Coat all exposed bare metal parts
with a good quality paint (available from your dealer) or a
light film of grease; oil or automotive wax.
Inspect the snowthrower for worn or damaged parts; tighten
all loose hardware.
Oil all points described in paragraph Lubrication.
Store snowthrower in wheels down, operating position. If
stored in any other position, oil from crankcase cduld enter
cylinder head, causing a service problem. Store in protected
area and cover for additional protection.
4
Important: A yearly checkup or tuneup by your dealer is a good
way of insuring that your snowthrower will provide maximum
performance for the next season.
STARTING AFTER STORAGE
В
Remove spark plug and wipe dry. Crank engine a few times
to blow excess oil out of plug hole. Reinstall plug.
Fill gas tank with fresh gasoline (unless a gasoline stabilizer
was used).

12
Check crankcase oil level before starting engine and after
each 5 hours of continuous use. Add oil as required. Change
crankcase oil after first 2 hours of operation and every 25
hours of operation thereafter, or at beginning of each
season. To drain oil, proceed as follows:
a.

SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT
NOTE
Mfg. no. 1690900 has bolts rather than pins.
The auger assembly is made up of a right and left auger. Each is
secured with a shear pin (figure 9). These pins are designed to
break (to prevent damage to snowthrower) if an object becomes
lodged in the auger. Two shear pins have been furnished with
your snowthrower. If additional pins are required, order genuine
replacement pins. Use of a harder pin will destroy the protection
provided by this special pin. To replace a broken shear pin
