GENERAL OPERATION

CHECKS BEFORE EACH START-UP

1.Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts, bolts and clips are secure.

2.Check to make sure that the clean-out is attached to the auger housing. Do not operate the machine without the clean-out tool properly stored on the auger housing.

3.Check the engine oil level. See your engine owner’s manual for procedure and specifications.

4.Check to make sure spark plug wire is attached and spark plug is tightened securely. If necessary, torque spark plug to 15 ft. lbs.

5.Check the fuel supply. Fill the tank no closer than 1/4 to 1/2 inch of top of tank to provide space for expansion. See your engine owner’s manual for fuel recommendations.

6.Check the scraper bar to make sure it is set at the desired height. Adjust the skid shoes if necessary.

7.Check the drive control ( ,Figure 1), and auger

control ( ,Figure 1) for proper operation. If adjustment is required, see the service section for procedures.

8.Check the chute direction control ( ,Figure 1)

for proper operation. The discharge chute should rotate freely in both directions. See the service section for adjustment procedures and troubleshooting.

9.Check the chute deflector ( Figure 1) for

proper operation. The deflector should pivot freely up and down when knob is loosened.

10.Position the chute at the desired starting direction and set the deflector at the desired angle.

11.Check the speed selector ( ,Figure 1) for

smooth operation. The control must move freely into each speed position gate and remain in position when released. If the speed selector does not move freely into all forward and reverse speed positions, contact your local authorized dealer for assistance.

WARNING

This unit is a “two-stage” snowthrower.

The first stage is the auger, which feeds the snow back into the impeller housing. The second stage is the impeller, which throws the snow out the discharge chute. If bodily contact is made with the auger or impeller when they are rotating, severe personal injury will occur.

To avoid injury, keep others and yourself away from the auger and the discharge chute whenever the engine is running. Read and follow all of the safety rules and warnings in this manual.

DANGER

Do not clean out discharge chute with hands. Contact with moving parts inside chute will cause serious injury. Use clean out tool provided with machine. Use the following procedure to remove objects or clear the chute:

1.Stop the engine. Remove the key

2.Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger/impeller blades have stopped rotating.

3.Always use the clean-out tool. DO NOT use your hands.

WARNING

For your safety, operation on slopes should be in an up and down direction only. If it becomes necessary to move across the face of a slope, use caution and do not blow snow. Be very careful when changing direction on a slope.

Proper winter footwear is recommended for the operator to help prevent slipping. Never attempt to clean snow from excessively steep slopes. The maximum slope for any operation is 17.7% (10º).

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is hot or running. Always move outdoors to fill the tank. Keep snowthrower and gasoline away from open flame or spark.
