Clean-oUt tool
WaRning
Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut off
engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped
before using the clean-out tool to clear the chute assembly.
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the
auger housing with a mounting clip. Should snow and ice become
lodged in the chute assembly during operation, proceed as follows to
safely clean the chute assembly and chute opening:
1.
Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control.
2.
Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.
3.
Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the
rear of the auger housing.
4.
Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to dislodge and
scoop any snow and ice which has formed in and near the chute
assembly.
5.
Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of
the auger housing, reinsert the ignition key and start the snow
thrower's 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 and ice from the chute assembly.

WaRning
Read, understand, and follow all instructions and warnings on the
machine and in this manual before operating.
oil
The unit was shipped with oil in the engine. Check oil level before each
operation to ensure adequate oil in the engine. For further instructions,
refer to the steps on page 16.
1.
Remove the dipstick from the oil fill.
2.
Check and make sure that the level of oil is up to the FULL mark
on the dipstick.
3.
If the oil level is not up to FULL, pour fresh motor oil (5W-30, with
a minimum classification of SL/SJ) slowly through the opening.
Replace oil fill dipstick and check oil level again.
gasoline
WaRning
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
Store gasoline in a clean, approved container and keep the cap in
place on the container.
Make sure that the container from which you pour the gasoline is
clean and free from rust or other foreign particles.
OPERATION
NOTE: A plastic dust cap may be found inside the fuel fill opening.
Remove and discard, if present.
Always fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to
prevent spilling.
Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the tank to within 1/2" from
the top to provide space for expansion of fuel.
Make sure to wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
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
into slot. Make sure it snaps into place. Do not attempt to turn the
key.
NOTE: The engine cannot start without the key is fully inserted into the
ignition switch.
electric starter
Determine that your home's wiring is a three-wire grounded system.
Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain.
The optional 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 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

NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF
position instead of FULL
3.

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 the button down for longer than seven (7) seconds
at a time. Doing so may damage your engine's electric starter.
