SCRAPER BAR

The scraper bar is not adjustable, but is reversible. After considerable use it may become worn. When it has worn almost to the edge of the housing, it can be reversed, providing additional service before requiring replacement.

ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 20)

Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank fi ller neck. Do not over- fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas- ohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and for- mation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Replace a damaged or worn scraper bar.

TO USE DRIFT CUTTERS (See Fig. 19)

Use the drift cutters to cut through deep snowdrifts that are higher than the front of the snow thrower.

Loosen upper adjustment nut enough to allow drift cutter to be raised to highest position and tighten nut securely. Repeat for opposite side of snow thrower.

When not using drift cutters, loosen adjustment nut, lower to storage position and tighten nut securely.

TO START ENGINE

Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position.

Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.

Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a licensed electrician.

WARNING: Do not use the electric starter if your house is not a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se- rious personal injury or damage to your snow thrower could result.

At its core, the Husqvarna 1130ST is equipped with a reliable 291cc engine that delivers impressive power.

This snow blower features a 30-inch clearing width, allowing it to handle significant amounts of snow with ease, while its 21-inch intake height helps it ingest deep snow without bogging down.
