Before Stopping

1.Run engine for a few minutes to help dry off any moisture on engine.

2.Avoid freezing of the starter by following these steps before stopping the snow thrower:

Recoil Starter

a.With the engine running, pull the starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three or four times.

Electric Starter

a.Connect power cord to switch box, then to 120 Volt AC receptacle.

b.While the engine is running, push the starter button and spin the starter for several seconds.

c.Disconnect power cord from the receptacle first, then from the snow thrower.

NOTE: The unusual sound from pulling the starter rope in case of the recoil starter, or from spinning the starter in case of the electric starter, will not harm the engine.

To Stop The Snow Thrower

1.To stop the wheels, release the drive control on the snow thrower.

2.To stop throwing snow, release auger control.

3.To stop engine, push throttle control lever to “stop” or “off” and remove ignition key (Do not turn key) to prevent unauthorized use of equipment.

To Engage Drive

1.With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever to one of six FORWARD positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed appropriate for the snow conditions that exist. Use slower speeds until you are familiar with the process.

2.Squeeze drive control against the right handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it and the drive motion will stop.

To Engage Augers

1.To engage augers and start snow throwing, squeeze the left hand auger control against the left handle. Release to stop augers.

2.While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the drive control to move, release to stop. Do not shift speeds while the drive is engaged.

NOTE: This same lever also locks auger control so you can turn the chute directional control without interrupting the snow throwing process.

3.Release the auger control; the interlock mechanism should keep the auger control engaged until the drive control is released.

4.Release the drive control to stop both the augers

and the wheel drive. To stop the auger, both levers must be released.

To Throw Snow

CAUTION: Check the area to be cleared for foreign objects. Remove, if any.

1.Start the engine following starting instructions.

2.Rotate the discharge chute to the desired position, (away from bystanders and/or buildings) by moving the chute control.

3.Select the speed according to snow condition.

CAUTION: Never move the shift lever without first releasing the drive control.

4.Engage the auger and drive controls following instructions above.

5.The interlock feature will allow you to remove your left hand from the auger control.

6.When clearing the first pass through the snow, control speed of snow thrower according to the depth and condition of snow.

7.To turn the unit left or right, squeeze the respective wheel steering control. See Figure 8.

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

9.After the area is cleared, stop the snow thrower following instructions given below.

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.
