TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 18)

NOTE:

The wrench provided in your parts bag may be used

to adjust the skid plates.

Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal con ditions, such as a paved driveway or side walk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.

NOTE:

It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower

over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property
damage or damage to the snow thrower.

• If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,

use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted
to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.

1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2. Adjust skid plates by loosening the rear 1/2" hex nut

only, then moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure
both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.

OPERATION

WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open ﬂ ame.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas-
ohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and for-
mation of acids dur ing storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied be fore stor age of
30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next sea-
son. See Storage In structions for ad ditional
information. Never use engine or car buretor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or per manent
damage may occur.

SCRAPER BAR

The scraper bar is not adjustable, but is reversible. After
considerable use it may become worn. When it has worn
almost to the edge of the housing, it can be reversed,
providing additional service before requiring replacement.
Replace a dam aged or worn scrap er bar.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 19)

The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already ﬁ lled with oil.

1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.

2. Remove oil ﬁ ll cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert

the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overﬁ ll.

• To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”

in the Main tenance sec tion of this manual.

ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 19)

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank ﬁ ller neck. Do not over-

ﬁ ll. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quan tities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.

TO START ENGINE

• Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position.

Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt
A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.

• Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire

grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.

WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se-
rious per sonal injury or damage to your
snow thrower could result.
