OPERATION
5. Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the
auger housing and restart engine.
6. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower),
engage the auger control for a few seconds to clear any remaining
snow or ice from the chute assembly before continuing to clear
snow.
WARNING: Never use your hands to clean snow and
ice from the chute assembly or auger housing.
SkID SHOES
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward
for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or
crushed rock surfaces. See “Making Adjustment” Section.
AugERS
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger
housing.
WARNING: The operation of any snow thrower can
result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear
safety glasses while operating the snow thrower, or
while performing any adjustments or repairs on it.
WARNING: Be sure no one other than the operator
is standing near the snow thrower while starting
engine or operating snow thrower. Never run engine
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair
and loose clothing away from any moving parts on
engine and snow thrower.
gAS & OIL FILL-uP
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate
engine manual packed separately with your snow thrower. Read
instructions carefully.
STARTINg THE ENgINE
1. Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal
loop on the end of the spark plug wire (inside the rubber boot) is
fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.
2. Make certain both the auger control and drive control are in the
disengaged (released) position.
3. Move throttle control up to Fast position. Insert ignition key
into slot. Make sure it snaps into place. Do not attempt to turn the
key.
NOTE: The engine cannot start unless the key is inserted into ignition
switch.
Electric Starter
1. Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire grounded system.
Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain.
WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with
a grounded three-wire power cord and plug, and
is designed to operate on 120 volt AC household
current. It must be used with a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle at all times to avoid the
possibility of electric shock. Follow all instructions
carefully prior to operating the electric starter.
If your home’s wiring system is not a three-wire grounded
system,
do not use this electric starter under any conditions.
If your home electrical system is grounded, but a three-hole
receptacle is not available,
one should be installed by a licensed
electrician before using the electric starter.
If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the extension cord into the outlet located on the engine’s
surface. Plug the other end of extension cord into a three-prong
120-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a well-ventilated area.
2. Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (for a cold
engine start).
NOTE:
If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF
position instead of FULL.
3. Push the primer two or three times for cold engine start, making
sure to cover vent hole in the center of the primer when pushing.
NOTE:
DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short
shutdown.
4. Push starter button to start engine.
NOTE:
Do not hold button down for longer than seven (7) seconds at a
time. Doing so may damage your engine’s electric starter.
5. Once the engine starts, immediately release starter button.
6. As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the OFF
position. If the engine falters, quickly rotate the choke control back
to FULL
and then slowly into the OFF position again.
7. When disconnecting the extension cord, always unplug the end at
the three-prong wall outlet before unplugging the opposite end from
the snow thrower.
Recoil Starter
1. Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (cold engine
start).
NOTE:
If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF
position instead of FULL .
2. Push the primer two or three times for cold engine start, making
sure to cover vent hole in the center of the primer when pushing.
NOTE:
DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short
shutdown.
NOTE: Additional priming may be necessary if the temperature is
below 15° F. (-9° C).
3. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the rope out. At the
point where it becomes slightly harder to pull the rope, slowly allow
the rope to recoil.
