Operating Tips

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes as the engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.

WARNING: The temperature of muffler and

surrounding areas may exceed 150o F. Avoid these areas.

•For most efficient snow removal, remove snow immediately after it falls.

•Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly overlap each previous swath.

•Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted upward for hard-packed snow.

NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury or damage to the snow thrower.

•If for some reason, you have to operate the snow thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest position for maximum clearance between the ground and the shave plate.

•Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. Never use your hand to clean a clogged chute.

•Release both the auger control lever and the traction/auger control lock lever.

•Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.

•Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the rear of the auger housing. See Figure 19 .

•Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to remove any snow and ice in the discharge chute.

•Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.

•While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage the auger clutch lever for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow or ice from the discharge chute before continuing to clear snow.

Before Stopping

•Run engine for a few minutes to help dry off any moisture on engine.

•To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, follow

these steps:

Recoil Starter

a.With the engine running, pull the starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three

or four times.

Electric Starter

a.Connect power cord to switch box, then to 120 Volt AC receptacle.

b.While the engine is running, push the starter button and spin the starter for several seconds.

c.Disconnect power cord from the receptacle first, then from the snow thrower.

NOTE: The unusual sound from pulling the starter rope in the case of the recoil starter, or from spinning the starter in the case of the electric starter, will not harm the engine.

To Stop The Snow Thrower

•To stop the wheel, release the traction drive lever on the snow thrower.

•To stop throwing snow, release auger drive lever.

•To stop engine, push throttle control lever to OFF and pull out the key. Do not turn key.
