GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.

To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as instructed in this manual. Some

adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. All adjustments in the Service

and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

Once a year, you should replace the spark plug and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help your engine run better and last longer.

Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the unit to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.

BEFORE EACH USE

1.Check engine oil level.

2.Check for loose fasteners.

3.Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly.
