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.

If snowthrower is kept in a cold storage area, fill gas tank to prevent condensation. EB da Fel 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). 11 Normal Care Check to make sure engine is clean. 4. Start engine outdoors. Do not run engine at high speeds immediately after starting. 5. Check operation of controls. Lubricate as instructed in Lubrication Chart on page 13. LUBRICATION For lubrication points, frequency of lubrication and type of lubricant, see Lubricant Chart (figure 2). 1. 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. b. С. Remove oil fillcap/ dipstick. Remove oil drain cap. Tip snowthrower toward oil drain cap and drain oil into a suitable container. Oil will drain more freely when warm. . Reinstall oil drain cap and tighten securely and fill crankcase to proper level shown on dipstick (approximately 1Y4 pints). Reinstall oil fill cap/ dipstick. The transmission and auger gear case have been factory lubricated for life. If for some reason lubricant should leak out, have transmission or auger gear case checked by your dealer.
