Removing From Carton

1. Cut the corners of the carton and lay the sides flat on the ground. Remove all packing inserts.

2. The upper handle is packaged unattached to the snow thrower, though connected by cables. Move the snow thrower and upper handle out of the carton.

3. Make certain the carton has been completely emptied before discarding it.

Before Assembly

WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug wire and Ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

NOTE: Reference to right, left, front or rear of the unit is from the

Figure 1

operating position unless otherwise stated.

 

Setting Up The Handle

1. If applicable, remove cable tie securing upper handle to lower handle for shipping purposes. Remove all protective plastic wrap- ping from handles as shown in Figure 1.

NOTE: Be careful NOT to remove the three loosely fitted cable ties that will be utilized later to secure cables.

2.

Loosen and remove the star knob, handle tab, and carriage screw

 

 

on each side of the lower handle. See Figure 2.

 

3.

Slide one of the loosely fitted cable ties from the right side of the

 

 

lower handle up to the cross member of the lower handle. Leave

 

 

the second cable tie in place on the right side of the lower handle.

 

IMPORTANT: It will be necessary to lift the upper handle while sliding

 

up this cable tie to prevent damage to the cable.

 

4.

Lift the upper handle up and position it over the lower handle,

 

 

aligning the holes where the star knobs were removed (1).

Figure 2

CAUTION: Be careful not to bend or kink the cables.

5. Insert a carriage screw from the outside through a handle tab, the upper and lower handles, and into the star knob (2). Repeat on the other side.

6. Tighten the star knobs on each side of the handle. Refer to Figure 3.

NOTE: The auger cable and speed control cable route down the left lower handle from the speed control box. The drive cable is routed across the top of the lower handle and down the right side of the lower

handle. See Figure 4.

7. Three cable ties have been used to loosely tie the control cables to the lower handle, including the cable tie you relocated in step 3. Position cable ties now, as in Figure 4, and tighten to secure cables

to the lower handle. Trim off excess material of cable ties.

Skid Shoe

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. Refer

to Figure 6 on page 8 for location of shave plate and skid shoes. For close

 

snow removal, place skid shoes in low position. When area to be cleared is

Figure 3

uneven, place skid shoes in the middle or high position. See Figure 5.
