TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)

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.

1.

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

2.

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.

2.

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.

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

1.

Connect the power cord to the engine.

2.

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

3.

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

1.

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.

2.

Place ON / OFF switch in "ON" position.

NOTE: The unusual sound made while starter is spinning

Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.

•

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.

2.

Place ON / OFF switch in "ON" position.

3.

Rotate choke control to "FULL" position.

4.

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.

•

•

5.

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

•

6.

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

V-BELTS

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50
hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts
are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from
wear. (See "TO REMOVE BELT COVER" in the Service
and Adjustments section of this manual).

Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil
change. All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL.
•
Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
•
•

The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special construction
and should be replaced by original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) belts available from your nearest dealer. Using other
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to
the snow thrower.

NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow
thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and placement of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the
frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil
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.

1.

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

2.

Clean area around drain plug.

3.

Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.

TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM

4.

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.

5.

Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.

6.

Install left wheel (if removed fordraining oil). Be sure to
install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See "TO
REMOVE WHEELS" in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).

CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above components can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.

7.

Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine.

8.

Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see

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.
