Maintenance

Keep snowthrower in safe operating condition by
cleaning the unit and tightening nuts, bolts, and
screws. The scraper, drive belt, rotor blades, and
spark plug should be checked once a year.

Draining Gasoline

1. Stop engine. Remove key from switch.
2. Remove cap from fuel tank and use a pump type
syphon to drain fuel into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. After fuel is drained, start engine and let it run
until all fuel is consumed and engine stops.
Repeat the starting procedure two more times to
ensure all fuel is removed from the engine.
Note: This is the only procedure
recommended for draining fuel.
Replacing Scraper (Fig. 10-11)
Before each season, inspect scraper for wear. If
thickness of bottom of scraper is less than 1/16"
(1.6 mm), replace scraper (Fig. 10).
Note: Scraper wear rates are determined by
the running time and the roughness of
the driveway or sidewalk.
1. Turn ignition key to OFF.
2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank; refer to Draining
Gasoline, page 9.
3. Tip snowthrower forward onto nose.
4. Remove (3) carriage bolts and (3) flange nuts
holding scraper in place (Fig. 11). Remove
scraper.
5. Secure new scraper to housing with carriage
bolts and flange nuts. Position heads of bolts
inside housing.

Replacing Drive Belt

(Fig. 12-13)
After extended use, the drive belt may wear and
require replacement. If, after adjusting the control
bar, the drive belt continues to slip under a heavy load
or the rotor does not turn, check to see if the belt is
severely worn.
1. Turn ignition key to OFF.
2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank; refer to Draining
Gasoline, page 9.
3. Tip snowthrower on right side.
4. Remove (3) self tapping screws, (3) capscrews,
(1) washer, and (3) nuts securing left side cover
to snowthrower frame (Fig. 12). Lift off left side
cover and allow it to hang from the cable.
5. REMOVING BELT (Fig. 13)—Slip belt off idler
pulley. Push idler pulley downward, and slip belt
from rotor pulley, idler pulley, and engine pulley.
6. INSTALLING BELT (Fig. 13)—Loop belt
around rotor pulley and engine pulley first
without slipping belt between rotor pulley and
brake. Next, push idler pulley downward and
slide belt between rotor pulley and brake.
Release idler pulley, and slip belt under idler
pulley.
7. Have a helper squeeze the control bar up against
the handle (rotor engaged position) and hold it in
that position.
8. Reinstall the left side cover while holding
control bar against handle. Tighten fasteners
securely, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
