Fuse Replacement

Rotate the fuse holder cover and pull the fuse out. If blown, replace 
with a fuse of the same type and rating.

Storage Precautions

If your snow blower will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and 
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor 
ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any 
appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, 
or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric 
motor, or where power tools are operated.

If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, which promote 
rust and corrosion.

Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel 
valve in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

Place the snow blower on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or 
oil leakage.

With the engine and exhaust system completely cooled, cover the 
snow blower to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can 
ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust 
cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, 
promoting rust and corrosion.

Removal from Storage

Check your snow blower as described in 

“BEFORE EACH 

OPERATION” on 

page 5

.

If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with 
fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be 
sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and 
deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.

If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the 
engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Engine Problems

Starter operates, but engine will not start

Engine has low power

Drive Problems

Engine runs, but snow blower doesn’t move

HSS1332A (electric start)

HSS928A (electric start)

FUSE HOLDER COVER

FUSE (5 A)

BLOWN FUSE

Possible cause

Correction

Throttle not in the proper 
position.

Throttle must be in the FAST 
position.

Choke not in the proper 
position

Choke should be in the OFF 
position for a hot start. Choke 
should be in the ON position for 
a cold start.

Fuel valve is OFF.

Sediment cup obstructed.

Turn the fuel valve lever to ON 
(see 

page 8

). Check for 

contaminates in the sediment 
cup (see 

page 19

).

Stale or old fuel.

Be sure the tank has fresh fuel. 
Drain the carburetor and 
sediment cup (see 

page 19

).

Spark plug cap off.

Improper electrode gap or 
deposits in the spark plug 
gap.

Make sure the cap is 
connected. Verify that the spark 
plug is free of deposits, and has 
the proper gap (see 

page 16

).

Possible cause

Correction

Too fast ground speed when 
blowing wet, deep snow puts 
excessive load on engine.

Blow snow at slower ground 
speed.

Throttle lever not in the 
FAST position.

Always move the throttle to the 
FAST position when blowing 
snow.

Wet, deep cuts place 
excessive load on the 
engine.

Reduce the snow blowing 
swath.

Discharge chute restricted.

Clear the discharge chute 
obstructions (see 

page 10

).

Spark plug cap not secure.

Improper electrode gap or 
deposits on the electrodes.

Make sure the spark plug cap is 
securely connected.
Verify the spark plug is free of 
deposits and has the proper 
gap.

Stale or old fuel.

Add fresh fuel. Drain the 
carburetor and sediment cup 
(

page 19

).

Possible cause

Correction

Drive clutch lever is in the 

DISENGAGED 

position.

Move lever to the 

ENGAGED 

position (see 

page 8

).

Shift lever is in “N” (Neutral).

Move shift lever to “F” or “R” 
(see 

page 8

).

Drive clutch lever mechanism 
or cable not functioning 
properly.
