Auger Control Test

IMPORTANT: Perform the following test before operating your snow thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter season.

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

•When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight.

•In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as instructed earlier in this section under the heading Starting the Engine. Make sure the throttle is set in the FAST position.

•While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage the auger.

•Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

•With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position and the auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to the front of the machine.

•Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows NO signs of motion.

IMPORTANT: If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before re-adjusting the auger control.

•To readjust the control cable, loosen the hex jam nut on the auger control cable “Z” fitting.

•Rotate the coupling end of the cable (without turning the cable) counterclockwise to provide more slack.

•Retighten the hex jam nut. See Figure 11.

•Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.

7.On each succeeding pass, readjust the chute to the desired positon and slightly overlap previous path.

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 ground and shave plate.

•Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
