    Features,Controls, & Operation Please take a moment and familiarize yourself with the name, location, and function of these controls so that you will better understand the safety and operating instructions provided in this manual CONTROL LOCATIONS The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, and driving require the combined use of several controls appfied in specific sequences.

  • Page 11: 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 handle on the machine. Do not operate the machine without the clean-out tool properly stored on the handle.
  • Page 12: Starting The Engine

    STARTING CONTROLS See Figure 1for the following instructions. Units with Optional Electric 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 13: Operating The Snowthrower

    Operation OPERATING THE SNOWTHROWER 1. Rotate the discharge chute to the desired direction. 2. Set the speed selector to the desired forward speed. 3. Fully press and hold the auger engage control (C, Figure 2) on the right-hand grip to begin auger rota- tion.
  • Page 14: Deflector

    DEFLECTOR The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled by the position of the deflector. (Engine speed also affects distance of discharge.) The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will be thrown. Models with Chute Deflector Knob See Figure 3.
  • Page 15 Operation FULL TRACTION Both Wheels Drive Figure 6. Easy Turn Control EASY TURN FREEWHEELING TRACTION DRIVE LOCK While Clearing Snow: For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn lever (Figure 6). Engaging the Easy Turn lever releases the right traction wheel but allows the left wheel to continue driving (Figure 6).
  • Page 16: 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 17: Regular Maintenance Schedule

    Regular Maintenance MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED Check auger gear case lubrication.** Lubricate snowthrower. Check tire pressure. Change engine oil.*+ Clean or replace spark plug.+ Check drive linkage/belt Lubricate Axle Shafts. Check / Lubricate Free-Hand Lubricate Auger Shaft.*** * Change original oil after two hours of operation. ** Check oil level each fall and spring.
  • Page 18: 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 19 Regular M aintenance CHECK / LUBRICATE FREE-HAND LINKAGE Check the function of the Free-Hand controls: the con- trols should function as described in the CONTROLS section. It is critical for the safe operation that the controls disengage when released. If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them. lubrication does not rectify the problem, see your dealer.

  • Page 23: Speed Selector Adjustment

    Adjustments SPEED SELECTOR ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen the two nuts (C, Figure 17). 2. Place the shift lever in 5th gear. 3. Push the lower rod into the housing and tighten the two nuts (C). Do not lift up or down on rods while tightening.
  • Page 24: Traction Drive Tension

    TRACTION DRIVE TENSION Initial Adjustment 1.With the drive lever released there should be no slack in the cable when moved slightly from side to side, but bellcrank arm remains in fully down position. 1. To adjust tension on the cable loosen adjustment hex nut (D, Figure 19) by holding the adjusting flats (A).
  • Page 25: Manual Discharge Chute Adjustment

    Adjustments MANUAL DISCHARGE CONTROL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT Pinion Gear Adjustment If the discharge chute is difficult to operate, first lubricate the pinion gear (A, Figure 20) and ring gear (F). If it is still difficult to operate, adjust as follows: NOTE: If the discharge chute will not stay in position, adjust the pinion gear (,4) closer to the ring gear (F).
  • Page 26: Easy Turn Cable Adjustment

    EASY TURN CABLE ADJUSTMENT If the Easy Turn cable has stretched, the gears will not disengage when the control lever is activated. cable using the following procedure. 1. Turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug wire. 2. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 23). 3.

    Adjustments & Service BELT REPLACEMENT 1. Turn off the engine, remove the spark plug wire, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Rotate the spout full right. Loosen the two screws (B, Figure 25) securing the belt cover. 2. Tilt the cover forward and work it off the snowthrower. 3.
  • Page 28 6. Reverse the procedure to install the belts. Be sure there are no twists and the belts are properly seated in the grooves. Adjust the belt stops so there is 1/8" (3mm) clearance between belt and stop. The pattern for both belts is shown in Figure 28. Slide the right axle left fully before tightening the set collar (E, Figure 27).
