(46 m) 16 14 Note: Do not use an extension cord longer than 150 feet (46 m). Before Starting Unlocking the Snowthrower Warning To unlock the snowthrower, push the key into the hole (Fig. 6), hold the key down, and turn the key counterclockwise. Contact with water while operating the snowthrower can cause electric shock, resulting in personal injury or death. • Don’t handle the plug or the appliance with wet hands or while standing in water. • Use only a UL-listed extension cord recommended for outdoor cold weather use. Refer to the Extension Cord Chart on page 6. 2 LOCKED UNLOCKED 1 Note: To prevent the extension cord from disconnecting during operation, tie it to the loop in the upper handle before you connect it to the snowthrower (Fig. 7). 1540 Figure 6 1. Key 2. Interlock tab 1 1535 Note: When you turn the key counterclockwise, the interlock tab (a safety device that prevents an unauthorized person from using the snowthrower) rotates away from the prongs and allows you to plug the extension cord into the snowthrower (Fig. 6). Figure 7 1. Extension cord Warning Note: Do not attempt to remove the key when it is in the unlocked position. The electrical cord can get damaged, causing a shock or fire. Securing the Power Supply Cord Thoroughly inspect electrical cord before using the snowthrower. If the cord is damaged, do not operate the snowthrower. Replace or repair the damaged cord immediately. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer for assistance. For safe and efficient use of your appliance, use only a UL-listed extension cord recommended for outdoor use. Refer to the Extension Cord Chart that follows. Your snowthrower has a polarized plug, with one prong in the handle socket being larger than the other (Fig. 8). When you insert the end of a suitable extension cord into 6 Operating Tips the handle socket, insert the enlarged prong into the wide slot in the extension cord end. Refer to Important Safety Instructions on page 3 for additional information. Warning 1 If snowthrower hits a foreign object while in operation, the object could be thrown in operator’s or bystander’s direction. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury. Keep the area to be cleared free of all foreign objects which may be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades. 1540 • Always keep children and pets away from the area of operation. Figure 8 1. Enlarged prong • Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other foreign objects which the rotor blades can throw. Such items could be covered by snowfall and go unnoticed. If the snowthrower strikes an obstruction or a foreign object during operation, stop the snowthrower, unplug the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and check the snowthrower for damage. Operation Check the condition of the snowthrower before operating it. Ensure that the rotor turns freely. • To adjust the discharge chute, rotate the chute crank clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left; counterclockwise to move the chute to the right. Starting and Stopping Note: The chute crank makes a noise as you turn the crank. This is normal. 1. To start the rotor, squeeze the control bar (Fig. 9). The deflector handle on top of the discharge chute controls the height of the snow stream (Fig. 10). Adjust the height of the snow stream by raising or lowering the chute deflector. 1 1 1535 Figure 9 1. Control bar 2. To stop the rotor, release the control bar. 1516 Figure 10 1. Chute deflector handle 7 Warning Warning A gap between the discharge chute and the chute deflector may allow snow and anything that can be picked up by snowthrower to fly in the direction of the operator. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury. When using the secondary handle, never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator or at bystanders. The snowthrower can throw foreign objects and cause serious personal injury. When using the secondary handle, always turn the discharge chute in the opposite direction from where you or bystanders are standing. • Do not force the chute deflector too far forward so that a gap appears between the discharge chute and chute deflector. • Do not overtighten the locknuts that hold the chute deflector in place so that you need to use excessive force to adjust the chute deflector. • Keep the extension cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects, and all moving parts. Do not pull sharply on cord or abuse it in any manner. Frequently inspect the extension cord for damage that may result in an electric shock. If the extension cord becomes damaged in any way, replace it. • Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet and work outward. Blow back and forth, not away from and toward the outlet. • In some cold and snowy weather conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. Therefore, when any control becomes hard to operate, stop the motor, disconnect the extension cord, and check for frozen parts. Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. Free all the controls and moving parts before operating. • When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord and turn the snowthrower. • Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow downwind when possible. • Shave down large banks of snow by placing the snowthrower on the bank. Lift the snowthrower by the primary and secondary handles only (Fig. 11). Let the weight of the snowthrower shave down the bank in a back-and-forth motion. • When operating the snowthrower, keep the wheels 1 inch (2.5 cm) off the pavement by tipping the snowthrower forward. This helps prevent the snow from building up on the wheels. • After clearing the snow, let the motor run for a few minutes so that the ice doesn’t freeze any moving parts. Then shut off the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop, and wipe the ice and snow off the snowthrower. Rotate the chute crank several times to remove the snow from the snowthrower. 1 2 • Lock the snowthrower when you are not using the snowthrower. Disconnect the extension cord. Hold the key down, turn it clockwise and remove it from the handle to prevent an unauthorized person from using the snowthrower. 1516 Figure 11 1. Primary handle 2. Secondary handle • When clearing steps or deep drifts, hold the snowthrower by the primary and secondary handles (Fig. 11) and use a swinging or sweeping motion. 8 Replacing the Rotor Maintenance 1. Remove the 3 screws that secure the right side cover and the skid to the snowthrower frame (Fig. 13). Note: Determine the left and right sides of the snowthrower by standing in the normal operating position. Warning If the extension cord is plugged into the snowthrower and the key is in the handle, someone could accidentally operate snowthrower while you are performing maintenance on it, causing serious personal injury. 2 3 1 1537 Figure 13 Disconnect the extension cord before you perform any maintenance. Hold the key down, turn it clockwise and remove it from the handle. 1. Right side cover 2. Screw 3. Skid 2. Using a 3/8-in. Allen wrench, turn the rotor shaft clockwise (left-hand thread) while holding the rotor (Fig. 14). Lubricating the Snowthrower You do not need to lubricate the snowthrower; all the bearings were lubricated at the factory for the life of the snowthrower. Note: You may need to tap the Allen wrench with a hammer to loosen the rotor shaft. Wedge a stick or a hammer handle in the rotor to prevent it from rotating. Replacing the Scraper The scraper is located at the bottom of the rotor housing as shown in Figure 12. 1 2 Figure 14 2 2 1 1. Rotor shaft 2. Rotor Note: If you cannot remove the rotor shaft by holding the rotor, remove the left side cover and the skid (Fig. 15).
