Should unusual vibration develop in transmission, remove rubber panel in rear cover and check rubber drive disc condition. For reference seepage 11.

The belt tension is adjustable. The tensioning of belt should be checked every 5-10 hours of operation. Refer to adjustments section for re-setting.

To prevent recoil freezing, when snow thrower is to be stored outside or in sub-freezing shelter, pull recoil rope out 6" to 12" and tie knot in rope or fasten handle to keep rope from re-winding. This procedure will set inner parts in position for starting.

Just as your automobile net:ds professional mechanical maintenance from time to time, so does your air-cooled engine. A yearly tune-up and check by a qualified service center is recommended to avoid breakdowns and unnecessarydelays during the snow throwing season.
