  • Page 11: Features, Controls, & Operation

    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. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.

  • Page 12: Auger Control

    Speed Selector Selects forward speeds 1-6 and reverse speeds 1-2. No neutral position or gate is required, since the traction drive design automatically provides "neutral" (no forward or reverse movement), whenever the Drive Control is released. Traction Control / Free Hand™ Lock Engages traction drive to wheels when depressed.

  • 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 WARNING Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

  • Page 16: Stopping The Engine

  • Page 17: 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 5) on the right-hand grip to begin auger rota- tion.

  • Page 18: Ground Speed Selector

    GROUND SPEED SELECTOR Use the speed selector (A, Figure 5) to control the drive speed of the snowthrower. There are six 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 19: Easy-Turn And Traction Drive Lock

    Operation FULL TRACTION Both Wheels Drive Figure 8. 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 8). Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the left traction wheel but allows the right wheel to continue driving (Figure 8).

  • Page 20: 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 22: 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 23: Lubrication

    Regular Maintenance 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 nec- essary to remove the wheels and grease the axles regularly.

  • Page 24: Check / Lubricate Free-Hand Linkage

    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. Lubricate as shown in Figure 16. IMPORTANT NOTE If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them.

  • Page 25: Troubleshooting, Adjustments, & Service

    TROUBLESHOOTING This section provides troubleshooting and service instructions. Locate the problem and check the possible cause/remedy in the order listed. Also, refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for additional information. For problems not covered here, contact your local deal- Problem Engine fails to start.
  • Page 26 Problem Auger rotates, but snow is not- thrown far enough. Poor traction. Auger does not stop when auger lever is released. Snowthrower does not stop when drive lever is released. Discharge control is difficult to operate. Snowthrower veers to one side.

  • Page 27: Speed Selector Adjustment

    Adjustments AUGER DRIVE ADJUSTMENT WARNING Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the lever and cause auger drive to be engaged without depress- ing the Auger Control. 1. Check that the auger cable (A, Figure 18) is on top of cable button (B) as show in Figure 18.

  • Page 30: Shear Pin Replacement

    SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT WARNING Do not go near the discharge chute or auger when the engine is running. Do not run the engine with any cover or guard removed. Under most circumstances, if the auger strikes an object which could cause damage to the unit, the shear pin will break.

  • Page 31: Belt Replacement

    Service BELT REPLACEMENT Auger Drive Belt The drive belts are of special construction and must be replaced with original factory replacement belts available from your nearest authorized service center. Some steps require the assistance of a second person. If the auger drive belt is damaged, the snow thrower will not discharge snow.
