1. GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
(1) Do not attempt to repair the machine unless
you have the proper tools and instructions for
disassembly and repair of the machine.
(2) Check bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe
working condition.
(3) After each snow removal session, run the snow
thrower for a few minutes to prevent the auger from
freezing. Shut off the motor, 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.
2. REPLACING THE SCRAPER (See Fig. M)
The scraper (17) is located at the base of the snow
thrower beneath the rotor housing.
(1) Detach the worn scraper from the snow thrower
by removing the 3 screws that hold it in place.
(2) Install the new scraper and fasten it securely to
the snow thrower with 3 screws.

thrower before storing or transporting. Be sure to
