6. Whencleaning,repairingorinspectingthesnowthrower,
stop the engine and make certain the collector/impel-
ler and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the
plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the
engine.
7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting
the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or
out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust
fumes are dangerous.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Handcontactwiththerotatingimpellerinsidethedischarge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis-
charge chute. To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes
dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.
9. Neveroperatethesnowthrowerwithoutproperguards,
and other safety protective devices in place and work-
ing.
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas
where property damage can occur. Keep children and
others away.
11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting
to clear snow at too fast a rate.
12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
operating in reverse.
13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.
14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel
weights, counterweights, or cabs).
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
15. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a new snow
thrower. It has been designed, engineered and manufac-
tured to give best possible dependability and performance.

OPERATION
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be
used to adjust the skid plates.
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gaso-
hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and forma-
tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional
information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower
overgravelorrockysurfaces.Objectssuchasgravel,rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property
damage or damage to the snow thrower.
•
If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted
to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
TO START ENGINE
•
Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert
the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt
A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
•
Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.
•
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C.three-wiregroundedsystem. Seri-
ous personal injury or damage to your
snow thrower could result.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18)
•
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-
fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.

6. Push the primer three (3) times.
7. Push starter button until engine starts.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
•
•
•
•
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
Goslowerindeep,freezingorheavywetsnow.Usethe
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-
diately after it falls.
The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five continu-
ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to
10 seconds between each attempt.
8. When the engine starts, release the starter button and
slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.
9. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first,
then from the engine.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
•
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER
•
•
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the
OFF position.
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this
section of this manual.
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow
removal by overlapping previous path and moving
slowly.
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This
will help air flow and extend engine life.
Aftersnow-throwingiscompleted,allowenginetorunfor
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER
•
1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
2. Place throttle control in FAST position.
3. Rotate choke control to FULL position.
4. Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is
below 15°F/–10°C, or two (2) times if temperature is
between15°and50°F/–10°Cand10°C. Iftemperature
is above 50°F/10°C, priming is not necessary.
•
•
•
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the
engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few
minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the
primer.
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
WARNING: Do not operate snow
throwerifweatherconditionsimpairvis-
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,
windysnowstormcan blind you and be
hazardous to the safe operation of the
snow thrower.
6. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter
handle and slowly move the choke control to the OFF
position.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF
position. DO NOT push the primer.
BEFORE STOPPING
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-
ture on the engine.

MAINTENANCE
BELTS
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Check belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours
of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not
adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear.
(See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual).
Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil
change.AlloilmustmeetAPIserviceclassificationSG–SL.
•
•
•
Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Catch oil in a suitable container.
The belts on your snow thrower are of special construction
andshouldbereplacedbyoriginalequipmentmanufacturer
(OEM)beltsavailablefromyournearestdealer.Usingother
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to
the snow thrower.
NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow
thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place-
ment of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the
frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil
trapped inside the engine. (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS”
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
1. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot
come in contact with plug.
AUGER GEAR CASE
•
The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper
level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs
attention is if service has been performed on the gear
case.
2. Clean area around drain plug.
•
If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to
install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO
REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine.
8. Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see
“PRODUCTSPECIFICATIONS”sectionofthismanual.
9. Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level.
Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate
reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.
CAUTION:Anylubricatingoftheabovecompo-
nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.

CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep snow thrower
housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your
snow thrower after each use.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil.
WARNING: Disconnectsparkplugwire
fromsparkplugandplacewirewhereit
cannot come in contact with plug.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least
once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours
in one year.

Remove the klik pin and remove wheel from axle.
NOTE: To seal punctures or prevent flat tires due to slow
leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
•
IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the in-
nermost hole in axle and the wheel hub hole. To disengage
drive system from the wheels (for pushing or transporting
the snow thrower), remove klik pin from wheel hub and
insert pin into the outermost hole in axle only.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134
meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower
to a qualified service center.
KLIK PIN
OUTER HOLE
ENGINE SPEED
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above

STORAGE
Immediately prepare your snow thrower for storage at
the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30
days or more.
•
•
•
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
WARNING: Never store the snow
throwerwithgasolineinthetankinside
a building where fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
gasappliance. Allowtheenginetocool
before storing in any enclosure.
Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-
imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
SNOW THROWER
When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,
clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.
Store in a clean, dry area.
1. Clean entire snow thrower (See “CLEANING” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this
manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug.
2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole
into cylinder.
3. Pullrecoilstarterhandleslowlyafewtimestodistribute
oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE-
PLACEBELTS”intheServiceandAdjustmentssection
of this manual).
3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
4. Besurethatallnuts,bolts,screws,andpinsaresecurely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage

lightly before painting.
OTHER
•
•
•
Remove safety ignition key; store it in a safe place.
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
•
•
If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover
it to protect it from dust and dirt.
Cover your snow thrower with a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe, which allows condensation to
form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/ex-
haust area is still warm.

of original purchase.
4. This Warranty applies only to products which have been properly assembled, adjusted, operated, and maintained

5. Exclusions: Excluded from this Warranty are belts, shear pins, normal wear, normal adjustments, standard hard-
ware and normal maintenance.
