NOTE: To increase or decrease the tension on the two-way chute
control, tighten or loosen the wing knob on the chute assembly.
CHUTE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
The chute directional control is located on the left side of the snow
thrower.
•
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, crank clockwise to
discharge to the left and counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
SkID SHOES
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward
for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or
crushed rock surfaces.
WHEEL STEERINg CONTROLS
The left and right wheel steering controls are located on the underside
of the handles. Squeeze the right control to turn right; squeeze the left
control to turn left.
NOTE: Operate the snow thrower in open areas until you are familiar
with these controls.
HEADLIgHT
The headlight is located inside of the handle panel.
DRIFT CUTTERS
The drift cutters are designed for use in deep snow. Their use is
optional for normal snow conditions. Maneuver the snow thrower so
that the cutters penetrate a high standing snow drift to assist snow
falling into the augers for throwing.
CLEAN-OUT TOOL
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:
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 unclogging.
1.
Release both the Auger Control and the Wheel drive control.
2.
Stop the engine by removing the 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 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.
OPERATION
BEFORE STARTINg ENgINE
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 Service & Maintenance section of this manual.
NOTE: Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine
stopped.
1.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean.
2.
Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, and tighten the cap
turning clockwise until cap is seated.
NOTE: On some engines, a threaded screw cap will be present
instead of the quarter turn locking cap. In the instance of a
threaded oil cap/dipstick, DO NOT screw the cap/dipstick in to
check. Check the oil by resting the cap/dipstick on the threads,
but not screwing it in.
3.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add
oil (5W-30, with a minimum classification of SF/SG) until oil level
registers between high (H) and low (L).
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may result in engine smoking,
hard starting or spark plug fouling.
4.
Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine
gasoline
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.
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combus-
tion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline with
up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can be
used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting
dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85 gasoline.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refueled or where gasoline is stored.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the tank
cap is closed properly and securely.
•
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
•
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor
1.
Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel to prevent debris
from entering fuel tank..
2.
A fuel level indicator is located in the fuel tank. Fill tank until fuel
reaches the fuel level indictor. See Figure 10 inset. Be careful not
to overfill.
