MAINTENANCE
•
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels.
•
Disengage all controls, stop the engine and wait until the auger/impeller comes to a complete stop
before cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow thrower.
•
Disconnect the spark wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Do not crank
the engine with the spark plug removed.
•
Regularly check the following:
Accumulation of debris around the muffler could cause a fire. Inspect and clean before every use.
Safety devices are operating properly. Do not tamper with or adjust safety devices. Do not change
the engine governor setting or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine.
Bolts and screws for proper tightness. Visually inspect machine for any damage and that the snow
thrower is in safe working condition.
Snow thrower shave plates and skid shoes for wear and damage. Replace with original equipment
manufacturer’s (OEM) parts only. Replacement parts that do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety.
Clutch controls. Verify they engage and disengage properly and adjust, if necessary.
Fuel line, tank cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
•
Prior to storing, run the snow thrower a few minutes to clear snow from machine and prevent freeze
up of auger/impeller.
