Clearing Restrictions
If the snow discharge chute or auger housing
becomes clogged STOP the engine, and make
sure that all rotating parts have come to a
complete stop. Remove the spark plug cap from
the spark plug.
Use the supplied snow clean out tool to clear the
obstruction. After unclogging, wipe the tool clean,
and place it in the holder on top of the auger
housing.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Never perform maintenance while
your Snow Thrower is running. Turn OFF the
engine before performing any maintenance
tasks on your Snow Thrower.
Proper maintenance of your Snow Thrower will
help prolong its life. Please perform the following
maintenance procedures as required.
Please read the ENGINE manual for engine
maintenance procedures.
Do not attempt to repair your Snow Thrower
unless you have the proper tools and instructions
for disassembly and repair.
Check the bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe
working condition.
After each snow removal session, run the Snow
Thrower for a few minutes to prevent the
collector/impeller from freezing. Stop the engine,
wait for all revolving parts to stop completely, and
wipe residual ice and snow off the unit. Rotate
the chute rotation handle several times to remove
any excess snow.
Maintenance Procedures
Tire Inflation
Before each use of your Snow Thrower, check
the tire pressure. The pressure in each tire
should be in the range of 20-24 psi for the best
performance. The pressure can be checked
using an ordinary tire pressure gauge. Fill the
tires using an small or pressure regulated air
compressor.
WARNING! DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE
TIRES. Over-inflating could cause a tire to
burst and cause severe bodily injury.
Shave Plate Replacement
Remove both skid shoes and hardware including
carriage bolts and nuts which attach shave plate
to snow thrower housing. Reassemble new
shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage
bolts are to the inside of the housing.
