OPERATION

5.Once the engine starts, release starter button.

6.As the engine warms, slowly rotate choke control to the OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly rotate choke control back to

FULL then slowly into the OFF position again.

7.When disconnecting the extension cord, always unplug the end at the three-prong wall outlet before unplugging the opposite end from the snow thrower.

Recoil Starter

1. Rotate choke control to FULL

 

choke position (cold engine

start).

 

 

NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF

position instead of FULL .

2.Push the primer two or three times for cold engine start, making sure to cover vent hole in the center of the primer when pushing.

NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.

NOTE: Additional priming may be necessary if the temperature is below 15° Fahrenheit.

3.Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the rope out. At the point where it becomes slightly harder to pull the rope, slowly allow the rope to recoil.

4.Pull the starter handle with a firm, rapid stroke. Do not release the handle and allow it to snap back. Keep a firm hold on the starter handle and allow it to slowly recoil.

5.As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly rotate the choke control

back to the FULL

 

position and then slowly into the OFF

position again.

 

 

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after starting. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperatures.

Stopping The Engine

Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.

1.Move throttle control to STOP STOP position.

2.Remove the ignition key and store in a safe place.

3.Wipe all snow and moisture from the area around the engine as well as the area in and around the drive control and auger control. Also, engage and release both controls several times.

To Engage Drive

1. With the throttle control in the Fast position, move shift lever into one of the six forward (F) positions or two reverse (R) positions. Select a speed appropriate for the snow conditions and a pace you’re comfortable with.

NOTE: When selecting a Drive Speed, use the slower speeds until you are comfortable and familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

2.Squeeze the drive control against the handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it and drive motion will stop.

NOTE: NEVER reposition the shift lever (change speeds or direction of travel) without first releasing the drive control and bringing the snow thrower to a complete stop. Doing so will result in premature wear to the snow thrower’s drive system.

To Engage Augers

1.To engage the augers and start throwing snow, squeeze the auger control against the left handle. Release to stop the augers.

Replacing Shear Pins

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear pins and bow-tie clips. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the shear pins may shear. If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared. See Figure 11.

CAUTION

NEVER replace the auger shear pins with anything other than OEM Part No. 738-04124A replacement shear pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components as a result of failing to do so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.

WARNING

Always turn off the snow thrower’s engine and remove the key prior to replacing shear pins.
