IMPORTANT

Safe Operation 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!!! BECOME ALERT!!! 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.

WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of
its constituents, and certain vehicle
components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Training
1. Read, understand and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual(s) before operating this
unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the
unit and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never
allow adults to operate the equipment without proper
instruction.

Preparation
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is
to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.
2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before
starting the engine (motor).
3. Do not operate the 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.
4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable
(a) Use an approved fuel container.
(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 or on 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.

(f) 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.
(g) Replace gasoline cap securely 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.
Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or
crushed rock surface.
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.
Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.

Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller
housing or discharge chute, and when making any
repairs, adjustments or inspections.
2

6. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow
thrower, stop the engine and make certain the collector/
impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the
plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the
engine.
7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting
the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or
out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust
fumes are dangerous.
8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
9. Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards,
and other safety protective devices in place and working.
10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas
where property damage can occur. Keep children and
others away.
11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting
to clear snow at too fast a rate.
12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
operating in reverse.
13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.
14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel
weights, counterweights, or cabs).
15. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility
or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a
firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute. To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.

Maintenance and Storage
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside
a building where ignition sources are present such as
hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes dryers.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.

OPERATION
TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE (See Fig. 10)

The operation of any snow thrower can result
in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Always wear
safety glasses or eye shields while operating
your snow thrower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses
or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

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.

HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER
Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel or
attempting to start the engine.

WARNING: If the discharge chute or
auger become clogged, shut-off engine
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Use
the clean-out tool, NOT YOUR HANDS,
to unclog the chute and/or auger.

STOPPING
TRACTION DRIVE
• Release traction drive control lever to stop the forward
or reverse movement of the snow thrower.
AUGER
• Release the auger control lever to stop throwing snow.
ENGINE
1. Move ON / OFF switch to “OFF” position.
2. Remove (do not turn) safety ignition key to prevent
unauthorized use.
NOTE: Never use choke to stop engine.

The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled
by the discharge chute control lever.
• To change the discharge chute position, pull backward
on discharge chute control lever and move lever left
or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure lever
springs back and locks into desired position.
The DISTANCE that snow is thrown is controlled by the
position of the chute deflector. Set the deflector low to
throw snow a short distance; set the deflector higher to
throw snow farther.
• Push right on chute deflector control lever and move
lever forward to lower the deflector and decrease the
distance. Move lever back to raise the deflector and
increase the distance. Be sure lever springs back and
locks into desired position.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 9)
The choke control is located on the engine. Use the choke
control whenever you are starting a cold engine. Do not
use to start a warm engine.
• To engage choke, turn knob counterclockwise. Slowly
turn knob clockwise to disengage.

OPERATION
USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 12)
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may
become clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool
to dislodge this blockage.

CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever
when traction drive control lever is engaged.
Damage to the snow thrower can result.
•

Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers
are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the
auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow
you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust
the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow
throwing process.

When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain all controls are disengaged and the
auger/impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
keep the wire away from the spark plug to
prevent accidental starting.
•
•

Release the auger control lever and shut off the engine.
Remove the clean-out tool from its mounting clip.
Grasp the tool firmly by the handle while pushing and
twisting the tool into the discharge chute to dislodge
the blockage.
After the packed snow has been dislodged, return the
clean-out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip.
• Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe
direction (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects
are in the direction of discharge) before restarting engine.
• Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control lever
to the handle to clear snow from the auger housing and
the discharge chute.

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 1/8" clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower
over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, 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 1/2" hex nuts, then
moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure both
plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 16)
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped from
the factory already filled with oil.
1. 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.
• To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 16)
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
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. Drain 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
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, 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.
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.
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the 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 is completed, allow engine to 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.
WARNING: Do not operate snow
thrower if weather conditions impair
visibility. Throwing snow during a
heavy, windy snowstorm can blind
you and be hazardous to the safe
operation of the snow thrower.

10. Wipe off any spilled oil.

SNOW THROWER
Always observe the safety rules when performing any
maintenance.
TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14–17 PSI).
• Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due
to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your
local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot
and corrosion.
BELTS
Check 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).
The 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.
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.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
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.
CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above components can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.

MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could create a
fire hazard and/or damage.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug at the beginning of each season or after
every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Spark
plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual.

ENGINE
See engine manual.
LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SG–SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep snow thrower
housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your
snow thrower after each use.
WARNING: Remove safety ignition key
and disconnect spark plug wire from
spark plug. Place wire where it cannot
come in contact with spark plug.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least once
a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours in one year.

•

OTHER
•
•
•

Remove safety ignition key; store it in a safe place.
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.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/
exhaust area is still warm.

ENGINE
See engine manual.
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. Also, 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.

Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are
derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating
conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power
when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” or net power). This difference is due to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application
limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
