To Engage Drive

1.Move the shift lever into one of the six forward (F) positions or two reverse (R) positions. Select a speed appropriate for the snow conditions and a pace you’re comfortable with.

NOTE: Use slower speeds in higher snow and/or until you are familiar with the snow thrower operation.

2.Squeezethedrivecontrolagainstthehandlethesnowthrower will move. Release it and drive motion will stop.

CAUTION: Never move the shift lever without first releasing the wheel drive control. Doing so will cause premature wear on the drive system’s friction wheel

3.To turn the snow thrower to the left or right, squeeze the respective wheel steering control. Refer to Figure 4-1.

To Engage Augers

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

2.While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the drive control to engage the interlock mechanism and to drive the snow thrower. The interlock mechanism locks the auger control so you can turn the chute 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.

Operating Tips

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.

WARNING! The temperature of the muffler and the surrounding areas may exceed 150° F. Avoid these areas.

1.If possible, remove snow immediately after it falls.

2.Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.

3.Slightly overlap each previous path.

4.Set the skid shoes 1/4” below the shave plate for normal usage. Adjust them upward for hard-packed snow and downward when using on gravel or crushed rock.

Replacing Shear Pins

Each of the six auger spiral assemblies are secured to the spiral shaft with a shear pin and cotter pin. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared. See Fig. 5-1.

caution: Never replace the auger shear pins with anything other than OEM Part No. 738-04155 replacement shear pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components as a result of failing to do so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.

warning! Always turn off the snow thrower’s engine and remove the key prior to replacing shear pins.
