Practices

for Walk-Behind

Snow Throwers

This snow thrower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.
Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury.
WARNING: Snow throwers have exposed rotating parts, which can cause
severe injury from contact, or from material thrown from the discharge chute.
Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, small children and pets at all
times including startup.

Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means
CAUTION!!! BECOMEALERT!!! YOUR
SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
WARNING: Always disconnect spark
plug wire and place it where it cannot
contact plug in order to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs.

CAUTION: Muffler and other engine
parts become extremely hot during
operation and remain hot after engine
has stopped. To avoid severe burns on
contact, stay away from these areas.

WARNING: This snow thrower is for
use on sidewalks, driveways and other
ground level surfaces. Caution should
be exercised while using on sloping surfaces.
Do not use snow thrower on
surfaces above ground level such as
roofs of residences, garages, porches
or other such structures or buildings.

to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.

Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
starting the engine (motor).

Do notoperatethe equipment without wearing adequate
winter garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can
get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will
improve footing on slippery surfaces.

(f)

(g) Replace gasoline cap secu rely and wipe up spilled
fuel.
(h) If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by
the manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors
or electric starting motors.
6.

Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running (except when specifically
recommended by manufacturer).

Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown
from the machine.

Operation
1.

Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor),
remove the wire from the spark plug, disconnect the
cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect the snow
thrower for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snow thrower.

If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leavethe operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller
housing or discharge chute, and when making any
repairs, adjustments or inspections.

(b) Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
(c) Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill
fuel tank indoors.
(d) Never fill containers inside a vehicle oron a truck or
trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from your vehicle, before
filling.
(e) When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment
on a trailer with a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or
crushed rock surface.

Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable
(a) Use an approved fuel container.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open
device.

BEFORE

NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be
used to adjust the skid plates.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 19)

NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snowthrower
over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as g ravel, 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 clearance) position.

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

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.

Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.

Remove oil fill 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 overfill.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before storage 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 season. See Storage Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or carburetor

THE ENGINE

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

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 conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a 5 mm clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.

OPERATION
TO START ENGINE

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature.
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER

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.
•

Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the "OFF"
position. DO NOT push the primer.

Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
grounded system.
If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.

BEFORE STOPPING
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any moisture on the engine.

WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C. three-wire grounded system. Serious personal injury or damage to your
snow thrower could result.
COLD START-

Toavoid possible freeze-up of the starter, proceed as follows:
ELECTRIC STARTER

ELECTRIC STARTER

Connect the power cord to the engine.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole
grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.

While the engine is running, push starter button and
spin the starter for several seconds.

Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts
bag) into ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOTturn the key.
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.

Place ON / OFF switch in "ON" position.

NOTE: The unusual sound made while starter is spinning
will not harm the engine or starter.

Rotate choke control to "FULL" position.

Connect the power cord to the engine.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole
grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.

RECOIL STARTER
1. While the engine is running, pull the recoil starterhandle
with rapid, full arm strokes three or four times.

NOTE: Do not use primer when starting engine with the
electric starter.
6.

Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first,
then from the engine.

NOTE: The unusual sound made while pulling the recoil
starter handle will not harm the engine or starter.

Push starter button until engine starts.

IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five continuous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait
5 to 10 seconds between each attempt.

IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN

When the engine starts, release the starter button and
slowly move the choke control to the "OFF" position.

Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much
rope out of the starter as possible.

TIPS

Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to
adjust speed.
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow immediately after it falls.
The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.

Place ON / OFF switch in "ON" position.

Rotate choke control to "FULL" position.

Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is
below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between
15 ° and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°E priming is
not necessary.

•
•

Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions. See "TO ADJUST SKID PLATES" in this
section of this manual.

NOTE: Over priming maycause flooding, preventing the engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the primer.

•

For extremely heavy snow, reducethe width of snow removal by overlapping previous path and moving slowly.
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This
will help air flow and extend engine life.
After snow-throwing iscompleted, allowengineto run for
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.

•

Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.

•

When the engine starts, release the recoil starter handle
and slowly move the choke control to the"O FF" position.

trapped inside the engine. (See "TO REMOVE WHEELS"
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

AUGER GEAR CASE
•

The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper
level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs
attention is if service has been performed on the gear
case.

•

If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.

Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Catch oil in a suitable container.

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place
wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.

Clean area around drain plug.

Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.

TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM

Install drain plug and tighten securely.

DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.

OTHER
•

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

•

Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

•

If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover
it to protect it from dust and dirt.

•

Cover your snow thrower with a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe, which allows condensation to
form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose, or tank during storage. Alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of
an engine while in storage.

IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/
exhaust area is still warm.
