Models with Traction Lock Knob: Wheels equipped with a traction lock knob (A, Figure
6) can be completely released by pulling the knob out away from the wheel until the locking
pin is disengaged from the wheel. Then rotate the knob so the pin does not re-engage the
wheel. Reverse this process to engage the drive wheel.
Wheel Release - Lock Pins (if equipped)
Wheels equipped with a traction lock pin (A, Figure 7) can be completely released by
removing the pin and installing it in the outer axle hole. Reverse this process to engage the
drive wheel.
Deflector Adjustment
A. Manual Deflector Control (if equipped)
Loosen the deflector knob (A, Figure 8), adjust the deflector to the desired position, and
then tighten the knob to secure. Raise the deflector to throw snow further.
B. Electric Deflector Control (if equipped)
While the engine is running, press either side of the deflector control switch (B, Figure 8) to
move the deflector up and down. Raise the deflector to throw snow further.
C. In-Dash Deflector Control (if equipped)
Move the deflector control lever (C, Figure 8) forward or backward to raise and lower the
deflector. Raise the deflector to throw snow further.
Chute Rotation Adjustment
A. Electric Chute Rotation Control (if equipped)
While the engine is running, press either side of the chute rotation switch (A, Figure 9) to
rotate the chute left or right.
B. In-Dash Chute Rotation Control (if equipped)
Locate the in-dash chute rotation crank (B, Figure 9). Rotate the crank to rotate the chute.
C. Lefthand Crank Chute Rotation Control (if equipped)
Locate the lefthand chute rotation crank (C, Figure 9) Rotate the crank to rotate the chute.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Please refer to the engine operator's manual for information about filling the fuel tank, and
for fuel recommendations.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw snow. Fingers can
quickly become caught in the impeller. Never clear or unclog the discharge chute
with your hands. Always use a clean-out tool.
Failure to observe these safety instructions will result in traumatic amputation
or severe laceration.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. Never use your hands to clean out the
discharge chute.
To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow these instructions:
1. Shut OFF the engine.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
A clean-out tool (A, Figure 10) is provided with the unit.
Skid Shoe Height Adjustment
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw snow. Fingers can quickly
become caught and traumatic amputation or severe laceration will result. Hand contact
with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowthrowers.
Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the engine key before
performing any maintenance or repairs.
WARNING
Thrown objects hazard
Objects such as gravel, rocks, or other debris, if struck by the impeller, may be thrown
with sufficient force to cause personal injury, property damage, or damage to the
snowthrower.
Be sure to set the skid shoes at the proper height to maintain ground clearance for the
type of surface being cleared.
This snowthrower is equipped with two height adjust skids, secured to the outside of the
auger housing. These elevate the front of the snowthrower.
When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a paved driveway or walk, adjust
the skids up to bring the front of the snowthrower down.
When removing snow from rock or uneven construction, raise the front of the snowthrower
by moving the skids down. This will help to prevent rocks and other debris from being picked
up and thrown by the augers.
1.
Determine how much clearance you want between the scraper bar at the bottom of
the auger housing and the ground. If clearing a gravel surface, enough ground
clearance is needed to prevent the unit from picking up rocks.
2. Place a block equal to the desired ground clearance under the scraper bar.
3. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts (A, Figure 11) and push the skid shoe (B) down
until it touches the ground. Re-tighten mounting nuts.
4. Set the skid shoe on the other side at the same height.
Off-Season Storage
If the unit will be stored for 30 days or more at the end of the season, the following steps
are recommended to prepare it for storage. Always refer to the operator's manual for
important details if the unit is to be stored for an extended period.
Please refer to the engine operator's manual for engine storage information.
NOTE: Fuel must be removed or treated to prevent gum deposits from forming in the tank,
filter, hose, and carburetor during storage.
WARNING
Fire and explosion hazard
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive. Fumes may travel to a distant
ignition source and an explosion and/or fire may result.
Handle gasoline carefully. Never store the unit, with fuel in the tank, indoors or in a poorly
ventilated enclosure where fuel fumes could reach an open flame, spark, pilot light, such
as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer.
• Thoroughly clean the unit.
• Lubricate all lubrication points (see Maintenance section).
• Make sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened. Inspect all visible moving
parts for damage, breakage, and wear. Replace if necessary.
• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
• Cover the bare metal parts of the snowthrower housing auger, and the impeller with
rust preventative.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give protection from dust and dirt.
• If the machine must be stored outdoors, cover with a heavy tarpaulin.
To Return to Service:
• Fill the fuel tank with a fresh fuel.
• Make sure all fasteners are tight.
• Make sure all guards, shields, and covers are in place.
