NOTE: The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a hard foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts may shear. Two replace- ment shear bolts and nuts are provided for your con- venience. Store in a safe place until needed.
IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.
UNPACKING
1.Remove the screws from the top, sides and ends of the shipping crate.
2.Set top panel aside to avoid tire punctures or personal injury.
3.Remove and discard plastic bag that covers unit.
4.Carefully roll unit out of crate.
IMPORTANT: After assembly, service engine with gasoline, and check oil level as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
NOTE: All references to right or left side of the snow thrower are determined from behind the unit in the operating position.
ASSEMBLY
1.Remove the lower two plastic wing nuts, cupped washers and carriage bolt (eyebolt on the left side) from the lower handle. See Figure 3.
2.Raise the upper handle assembly until it aligns with lower handle.
3.Be sure both cables are aligned with cable roller guides located in the lower rear of snow thrower frame.

5.Adjust the eyebolt on the chute directional control so the control rod does not come into contact with the engine by moving the hex nut against the handle (if necessary). Retighten the wing nut to secure the chute directional control in this position. See Figure 4.
6.Slide the shift rod connector down over the end of the lower shift rod. Tap the top of connector until it locks on the lower shift rod.

NOTE: If the connector is not properly assembled, the shift rod will pivot and you will not be able to shift gears or change directions.
7.Unwrap the headlight wire which is attached to the headlight, beneath the handle panel. Wind it around the right handle several times to remove excess slack in the wire. See Figure 5.
8.Plug the wire from the headlight into the wire lead coming from the right side of the engine, underneath the fuel tank.
