The belt tension is adjustable. The tensioning of belt should be checked every 5-10 hours of operation. Refer to adjustments section for re-setting.

To prevent recoil freezing, when snow thrower is to be stored outside or in sub-freezing shelter, pull recoil rope out 6" to 12" and tie knot in rope or fasten handle to keep rope from re-winding. This procedure will set inner parts in position for starting.

Just as your automobile net:ds professional mechanical maintenance from time to time, so does your air-cooled engine. A yearly tune-up and check by a qualified service center is recommended to avoid breakdowns and unnecessarydelays during the snow throwing season.
