GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.

To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as instructed in this manual. Some

adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. All adjustments in the Service

and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

Once a year, you should replace the spark plug and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help your engine run better and last longer.

Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

Always observe the safety rules when performing any maintenance.

TIRES

Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14-17 RS.I.).

Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber.

The belts on your snow thrower are of special construction and should be replaced by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) belts available from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to
