GENERAL REC OM MEN DA TIONS

The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that 
have been sub ject ed to operator abuse or negligence.  To 
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain 
snow thrower as in struct ed in this manual.  Some ad just -
ments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain 
your snow thrower.  All adjustments in the Service and 
Ad just ments section of this manual should be checked at 
least once each season.

•     Once a year, you should replace the spark plug and 

check belts for wear.  A new spark plug will help your 
engine run better and last longer.

•      Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

NOTE:

 Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) 

parts to service this unit.  Failure to do so can cause the unit 
to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.

BEFORE EACH USE

1.    Check engine oil level.

2.    Check for loose fasteners.

3.      Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly.

TIRES

•      Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (See “PROD-

hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts 
are not ad just able. Replace belts if they begin to slip from 
wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service 
and Adjustments section of this manual).

The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion 
and should be replaced by original equipment man u fac tur er 
(OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other 
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to 
the snow thrower.
