Set-up and Operating Instructions
Equipment Set-up:
The initial set-up of this machine will require you to
become familiar with all hazard warnings and safety
precautions listed in this manual. Review the
illustrated parts lists (section 4) to become familiar
with the component parts and how they are
assembled.
The snowblower may be shipped in a wooden
packing crate with the spout and rotator controls
packaged separately. The spout deflector controls
will be pre-assembled onto the spout. Unpack all
components and assemble the spout and rotator
controls onto the snowblower as follows:
1.
Assemble the 1/2” step washers (Figure 1, item
#1), 1/2” x 3/8” shoulder bolts and lock nuts
onto the spout gear on one side only of the
spout, but do not tighten down.
Figure1
2. Apply grease onto the spout base ring (Figure 2)
Figure 2
3. Slide the spout onto the base ring (Figure 3)
checking to insure that the step washers catch
the base ring, install the remaining step washers,
shoulder bolts and lock nuts, then tighten.
Figure 3
4.
Rotate the spout by hand to check for binding,
re-adjust the bolts if binding occurs as the spout
should rotate freely.
5.
Attach the spout rotator controls onto the
bracket as shown below (figures 4, 5 or 6).

The standard hand crank control (figure 4)
will use (4) 3/8” bolts, flat washers, lock
washers and nuts to attach the crank onto
the bracket as shown, do not tighten the
bolts, then align the spout rotator gear and
the hand crank gear. Tighten the bolts and
check rotation of spout, adjust if binding
occurs.

The optional hydraulic spout control (figure
5) will be attached by first placing the spacer
washer (see parts breakdown in section 4) on
the motor and around the alignment ring.
Make sure that the washer is properly seated.
Then position the motor under the
mounting bracket with the output shaft
protruding upward thru the bracket and with
the ports facing outward, away from the
snowblower. Use the (4) hex head 3/8” x 1-
1/4” grade 5 bolts, flat washers and lock
washers to secure the motor into place, but
