IMPORTANT: The snow thrower is shipped with oil and WITHOUT GASOLINE. After assembly, refer to separate engine manual for proper fuel and engine oil recom- mendations.

Loose Parts

•The augers are secured to the auger shaft with shear pins and bow tie cotter pins. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. Replacement shear pins and cotter pins are provided for your convenience. Store these safely until needed.

Items Required For Assembly

•Remove the lower handle knobs, washers and carriage bolts from each side of the upper handle. See Figure 3-2.

•Raise the upper handle assembly until it locks over the lower handle. See Figure 3-1.

•Secure the upper handle and lower handle with the handle knobs and carriage bolts previously removed.
