CONTROL LOCATIONS The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, and driving require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences.
  • Page 11: Features And Controls

    Auger Control Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. Releasing the control stops the auger/impeller. Chute Direction Control Models with Electric Chute Rotator: Depressing the chute rotator switch rotates the chute left or right. Models with Manual Chute Rotator: Turning the crank rotates the discharge chute to desired position.
  • Page 12: 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 machine. Do not operate the machine without the clean-out tool properly stored on the machine.
  • Page 13: Starting Controls

    STARTING CONTROLS See Figure 1for the following instructions. Units with Optional 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.

  • Page 14: 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 15: 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 16: Easy-Turn And Traction Drive Lock

    Operation FULL TRACTION Both Wheels Drive Figure 6. 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 6). Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the right traction wheel but allows the left wheel to continue driving (Figure 6).
  • Page 17: 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 18: Regular Maintenance

    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 tension. Lubricate Axle Shafts. Check / Lubricate Free-Hand Linkage. Lubricate Auger Shaft.*** * Change original oil after two hours of operation.
  • Page 19: 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 20: 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. It is critical for the safe operation of the unit that the controls disengage when released. If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them.
