SECTION 1:  SETTING UP YOUR SNOW THROWER

IMPORTANT: 

This unit is shipped with the engine full of 

oil. After assembly, see page 9 for fuel and oil details. 

Removing From Carton 

1.

Cut the corners of the carton and lay the sides flat 
on the ground. Remove all packing inserts.

2.

Move the snow thrower out of the carton.

3.

Make certain the carton has been completely 
emptied before discarding it.

Loose Parts

Your snow thrower has been assembled at the factory 
except the parts shipped loose in the carton. These are 
listed below. 

a. Shear Pins and Cotter Pins

Before Assembly

Disconnect 

spark plug wire and ground it against the 

engine to prevent unintended starting. 

NOTE: 

All references in this manual to the left or right

side of the snow thrower is from the operating position
only. Exceptions, if any, will be specified.

Setting up the Snow Thrower

1.

Raise the upper handle assembly in the direction 
shown in Figure 1. Align the upper handle with the 
lower handles.

Figure 1

2.

Tighten two handle knobs firmly to secure the 
upper handle to the lower handles. See Figure 1.

3.

Slide the shift rod connector down over the end of 
the lower shift rod. Tap the connector until it 

locks

 

over the lower shift rod. See Figure 2.

NOTE: 

If the connector is not properly assembled, the

shift rod will pivot and changing speed or direction of
the snow thrower will not be possible.

Figure 2

4.

Apply a light lubricant (i.e. 3-in-1 oil) to the rim/lip of 
the chute base (and the underside of the chute 
assembly) and position the chute assembly over 
the base. See Figure 3A.

5.

Close the flange keepers to secure the chute 
assembly to the chute adapter. The flange keepers 
will click into place when properly secure. See 
Figure 3B.

NOTE: 

If the flange keepers do not easily click into

place, use the palm of your hand to apply swift, firm
pressure to the back of each.

6.

Pull the hairpin clip out of the clevis pin on the chute 
support rod. Save these hardware.
