MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Illustrations begin on page 3.
Use the following maintenance section to keep
your unit in good operating condition. All the
maintenance information for the engine is in the
engine manufacturer's instructions. Before you
start the engine, read this book.
WARNING: Before you make an in-
spection, adjustment (except
carburettor), or repair, disconnect
the wire from the spark plug.
General Recommendations
The warranty on this snow thrower does not cov-
er items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value from
the warranty, the operator must maintain the
snow thrower as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments must be made periodically to
properly maintain the snow thrower.
Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating labels for individual gas
engine models meet or exceed SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small En-
gine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) and
rating performance has been obtained and cor-
rected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision
2002--05). Actual gross engine power may be
lower and is affected by, but not limited to, ambi-
ent operating conditions and engine to engine
variability. Given both the wide array of products
on which engines are placed, and the variety of
environmental issues applicable to operating the
equipment, the gas engine will not develop the
rated gross power when used in a given piece of
power equipment (actual "on--site" or net horse-
power). This difference is due to a variety of fac-
tors including, but not limited to, accessories (air
cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor,
fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient
operating conditions (temperature, humidity, alti-
tude), and engine to engine variability.
After Each Use
• Check for any loose or damaged parts.
• Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Check and maintain the auger.
