Electric Starter: (If Equipped)
WARNING:
The electric starter is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug, and is designed to operate on
120 volt AC household current. It must be properly grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock which may cause injury to the operator.
Follow all instructions carefully. Determine that your house wiring is a three wire grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain. If your house wiring system is not a three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric starter under any conditions. If your system is grounded and a threehole receptacle is not available at the point your starter will normally be used, one should be installed by a licensed electrician.
When connecting the power cord, always connect cord to starter on engine first, then plug the other end into a three-hole grounded receptacle.
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug the end from the three-hole grounded receptacle first.
1.
Rotate choke knob to OFF position. Do not prime engine.
2.
Connect power cord to switch box on engine.
Plug the other end of power cord into a threehole, grounded 12-volt AC receptacle.
3.
Push starter button to crank engine. See Figure
18. As you crank the engine, move choke knob to FULL choke position. (cold engine start)
4.
When engine starts, release starter button, and move choke gradually to OFF. If engine falters, move choke immediately to FULL and then gradually to OFF.
TO STOP ENGINE
1.
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.
2.
To help prevent possible freeze up of starter, proceed as follows.
• Electric Starter: Connect power cord to switch box on engine, then to 120 volt AC receptacle. With the engine running, push starter button and spin the starter for several seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the starter will not harm engine or starter.
Disconnect the power cord from receptacle first, and then from switch box.
• Recoil Starter: With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke two or three times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.
3.
To stop engine, move throttle control to “stop” or
“off” position.
4.
Remove the ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. Refer to the ASSEMBLY section.
TRACTION CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Refer to the FINAL ADJUSTMENT section of the
Assembly Instructions to adjust the traction control. If you are uncertain that you have reached the correct adjustment, the adjustment can be physically checked as follows.
With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain the oil and gasoline or drain the oil and place plastic film under the gas cap if the snow thrower has already been operated), remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing six selftapping 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 the traction control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate. See Figure 20.

Gear Shaft
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the hex jam nut on the traction control cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary. Tighten the hex jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached. Reassemble the frame cover.
NOTE:
If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain to remove it.
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 21.
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- Rotate wheel assembly to align hole in hub with inner hole on axle shaft.
Insert klick pin in hole. Outer axle shaft hole should be visible. This position is good for heavy snow as there is power to both wheels.

GEAR CASE
The worm gear case has been filled with grease at the factory. If disassembled for repairs, lubricate with
2 ounces of shell grease, part no. 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.
ENGINE
Refer to separate engine manual for engine maintenance procedures.
WARNING:
When following instructions in separate engine manual for draining oil, be sure to protect frame to avoid oil dripping onto transmission parts.
CLEAN EQUIPMENT
Be certain to follow the precautions listed under TO
STOP ENGINE to prevent possible freeze-up.
SECTION 9: SERVICE
AUGERS
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 23. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the hex bolts will shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex lock nuts have been provided with the snow thrower.
For future use, order part number 710-0890A (shear bolt 5/16-18 x 1.5") and 712-0429 (hex lock nut
5/16-18).
SHAVE PLATE AND SKID SHOES
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.
To remove skid shoes, remove the four carriage bolts, bell washers and hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower. Reassemble new skid shoes with the four carriage bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes against skid shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, bell washers and hex nuts which attach it to the snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely.
ENGINE
Refer to separate engine manual for all engine service procedures.
BELT REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
WARNING:
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and ground.

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 PROD-
UCTS 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.
