    ALWAYS DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE AND PLACE WIRE WHERE IT CANNOT CONTACT SPARK PLUG TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING WHEN SETTING-UP, TRANSPORTING, ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS. SAFETY STANDARDS REQUIRE OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROLS TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY. YOUR SNOW THROWER IS EQUIPPED WITH SUCH CONTROLS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE FUNCTION OF THE OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

  • Page 3: Safety Rules

    SAFE STORAGE Always refer to Owner’s Manual instructions for important details if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended period. Disengage power to the auger/impeller when snow thrower is transported or not in use. Never store the snow thrower with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like.

  • Page 19: Operation

    The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating the snow thrower. We recommend standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask for over your glasses.

  • Page 20: To Stop Engine

    FILL GAS: Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade auto- motive gasoline. Be sure that the container you pour the gasoline from is clean and free from rust or other foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale from long periods of storage in the container.

    ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE AND TIE BACK AWAY FROM THE PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS. TO ADJUST SKID HEIGHT This snow thrower is equipped with two height adjust- ment skids, located on the outside of the auger housing (See III.20).

  • Page 24: Traction Drive Belt

    Press the auger drive lever. Check the tension on the belt (opposite auger idler pulley). The belt should deflect about 1/2" with moderate pressure (See III.23). NOTE: You may have to move the auger idler pulley more than once to obtain the correct tension. Replace the belt cover.

  • Page 25: To Adjust The Friction Wheel

    Reinstall the belt cover. Reconnect the spark plug wire. TO ADJUST THE FRICTION WHEEL If the snow thrower will not move forward, you need to check the traction drive cable or the friction wheel. If the friction wheel is worn or damaged, it will need to be replaced.

  • Page 26: To Adjust Carburetor

    TO ADJUST CARBURETOR The carburetor (See III.33) has been pre-set at the factory and readjustment should not be necessary. How- ever, if the carburetor does need to be adjusted, proceed as follows: Close the high speed adjusting screw by hand. Do not over tighten.
