  • Page 12: Auger Control

    Auger Control Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. Releasing the control stops the auger/impeller. Chute Direction Control Push the lever forward to unlock the rotator control. Moving the lever to the left will turn the spout to the left side and moving the lever to the right will rotate the spout to the right side.

  • Page 13: General Operation

    Operation GENERAL OPERATION CHECKS BEFORE EACH START-UP 1. Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts, bolts and clips are secure. 2. Check to make sure that the clean-out is attached to the auger housing. Do not operate the machine with- out the clean-out tool properly stored on the auger housing.

  • Page 14: Starting Controls

    STARTING CONTROLS See Figure 1 for the following instructions. Electric Start A. Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter han- dle. The Electric Start Button operates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by connection to the extension cord provided with units equipped with this feature.

  • Page 15: Starting The Engine

    Operation STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Turn the fuel valve (B, Figure 1, Intek Models) to the ON position. 2. Switch the stop switch (H, Power Built models) to the on position. 3. Insert the engine key (F) into the engine key slot and push fully in to the RUN position.

  • Page 16: Ground Speed Selector

    GROUND SPEED SELECTOR Use the speed selector (A, Figure 2) to control the drive speed of the snowthrower. There are five forward speeds and two reverse speeds. Use the lower speeds to blow deep or wet snow. Use the higher speeds to blow light snow or to drive the snow- thrower without blowing snow.

  • Page 17: Easy-Turn And Traction Drive Lock

    Operation FULL TRACTION Both Wheels Drive Figure 5. Easy Turn Control EASY TURN™ FREEWHEELING AND TRACTION DRIVE LOCK While Clearing Snow: For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn™ lever (Figure 5). Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the left traction wheel but allows the right wheel to continue driving (Figure 5).

  • Page 18: After Each Use

    AFTER EACH USE Normal use of the snowthrower may result in a build-up of packed snow in and around the starter cord housing and around engine controls. Heat from the engine will usually prevent the snow from freezing solid while the unit is running, but after the engine is shut down, some snow may continue melting from engine heat, and later freeze around some moving parts as the unit cools.

  • Page 19: Regular Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED Check / Lubricate Free-Hand Linkage. Lubricate snowthrower. Check tire pressure. Change engine oil.* Clean or replace spark plug. Check drive linkage/belt tension. Lubricate Axle Shafts. Check auger gear case lubrication.** Lubricate Auger Shaft.*** * Change original oil after two hours of operation. ** Check oil level each fall and spring.

  • Page 20: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION IMPORTANT NOTE It is very important that grease fittings on the auger shaft are lubricated regularly. If auger rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur if shear pins do not break. To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also necessary to remove the wheels and grease the axles regularly.

  • Page 21: Check / Lubricate Free-Hand Linkage

    Regular Maintenance CHECK / LUBRICATE FREE-HAND LINKAGE Check the function of the Free-Hand controls: the con- trols should function as described in the CONTROLS section.
