IMPORTANT:

Perform the following test before operating the snow thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter season.

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

• When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight.

WARNING:

Do not over-tighten the cable.

Over-tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.

• In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as instructed earlier in this section under the heading

Starting Engine

. Make sure the throttle is set in the FAST position.

• While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower) engage the auger.

• Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

• With the engine running in the FAST position and the auger control lever in the disengaged “up” position, walk to the front of the machine.

• Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows NO signs of motion.

IMPORTANT:

If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before readjusting the auger control cable.

Chute Clean-out Tool

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip (Refer to

Figure 12). If the discharge chute becomes clogged during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the chute and chute opening:

• Release both the Auger Control Lever and the

Traction/Auger Control Lock Lever.

• Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.

• Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the rear of the auger housing.

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:

The muffler, engine and their surrounding areas become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.

• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.

Slightly overlap each previous path.

• 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.

• Avoid possible starter freeze-up. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

NEVER attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in operator’s manual.

Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)

• The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes.

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce, if necessary, to between 15 psi and 20 psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the

unit may pull to one side or the other.

Traction Control and Shift Lever

• To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift lever, proceed as follows:

• With the engine off, move the shift lever all the way forward to fifth (5) position. With the traction control released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit should move forward freely. Then engage the traction control grip. Wheels should stop turning.

• Now release the traction control grip, and push the unit again.

• Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse position, then all the way forward again. There should be no resistance in the shift lever, and wheels should keep turning.

• If you feel resistance when moving the shift lever or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable and unthread the cable one turn.

• If the wheels do not stop when you engage the traction control grip, loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable and thread the cable in one turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

WARNING:

Drain the gasoline out of snow thrower engine, place a piece of plastic film under the gas cap to avoid spillage before beginning the job.

To test further for correct adjustment, if necessary, proceed as follows:

• Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on the auger housing.

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

• With the traction control released, there must be clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.

• With traction control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate. See Figure 15.

If adjustment is necessary:

• Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary.

• Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

• Reassemble the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap, be certain to remove it before operating the snow thrower.

13

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so, stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knobs found on either side of the discharge chute. Pivot the chute upward or downward before re-tightening the wing knobs.

Skid Shoes

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

• Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired position. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely. See Figure 16.

Carburetor

WARNING:

If any adjustments need to be made to the engine while the engine is running

(e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of muffler, engine and other surrounding heated surfaces.

• 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. Follow the steps below for adjustment.

See Figure 17.

WARNING:

Do not operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing injury to the operator and/or damage to the snow thrower.

Auger Control

• Refer to Auger Control Test on page 13 to adjust the auger control.

Figure 17

One Wheel Driving

• On the right side of the unit, place klick pin in the outside axle hole only. Do not place pin through wheel hub.This position gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver.

Both Wheels Driving

• Rotate wheel assembly to align hole in the hub with the inner hole on the axle shaft. Insert klick pin in the hole. Outer axle shaft hole should be visible.

IMPORTANT:

NEVER operate the snow thrower with the click pin inserted through both the RIM and the

OUTSIDE HOLE in the axle. Doing so can result in serious damage to the drive system.

SECTION 6: MAINTAINING YOUR SNOW THROWER

WARNING:

Before lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

Lubrication

Engine

• Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit for all engine lubrication instructions.

14

WARNING:

When following instructions in separate engine manual for draining oil, be sure to protect frame to avoid oil dripping onto transmission parts.

Gear Shaft

• Lubricate the gear shaft with a good all-weather multi-purpose light grease at least once a season or after every 25 hours of operation.

Gear Case

• The worm gear case has been filled with grease at the factory. If disassembled for any reason, lubricate with 1-1/2 ounces of shell grease, part number 737-0168.

IMPORTANT:

Do not overfill the gear case. Damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
