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: Muffler, engine and surrounding areas become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.

•Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for

normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate) when using on gravel or crushed rock.

•Remove snow immediately after it falls.

•Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.

•Slightly overlap each previous cleared path.

•Follow the precautions found under the heading To Stop Engine to prevent possible freeze-up.

•Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

SECTION 6: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in operator’s manual.

Chute Assembly Adjustment

The distance snow is thrown can be varied by adjusting the pitch of the chute assembly. Refer to Chute Tilt Control in Section 4 of this manual.

•Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing six self-tapping screws.

With the traction control released, there must be clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.

With the traction control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate. See Figure 10.
