Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Snow Throwers
IMPORTANT: 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.
(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.
5. 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).
7. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during op-
eration or while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown
from the machine.

LUBRICATION
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.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil
fill cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
1. Move the snowthrower to a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 7).
NOTE: Dipstick location may vary depending on engine
type.
3. Remove either side mounted filler cap dipstick or high
oil fill dipstick and wipe it clean.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and turn clockwise
until fully seated. Then remove the dipstick by turning
it counter-clockwise.
5. Fill oil to "FULL" on dipstick with the recommended oil.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Do not use E85 blended fuels. This engine
is not E20/E30/E85 compatible. Alternative fuels with
high alcohol content can cause hard starting, poor engine
performance, and may cause internal engine damage.
NOTE: For best results, purchase only the quantity of
gasoline that you expect to use in 30 days. Otherwise,
you may add fuel stabilizer to newly purchased gasoline
to keep it fresh for up to 6 months.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the gaso-
line, place the container and/or snowthrower on
the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on
an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around
an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out
of the reach of children.
• Do not tip the snowthrower with fuel in the fuel
tank. 1

IMPORTANT: During initial operation there may be wear
between the auger blades and the scraper bar. Maximum
performance, both snow throwing and driving, occurs
when there is zero clearance between these two parts
(Figure 15).
1
During initial break-in period of the auger blades it
is normal for the auger blades to build up excessive
heat if not operated in the snow.
Do not operate without snow or water for lubricating
the auger blades. This will cause excessive heat
build up in the auger blades which could cause
damage to the auger blades and scraper bar.

Clearing a Clogged Discharge
Chute
Preventing Freeze-up After Use
• Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent moving
parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all mov-
ing parts to stop, and remove ice and snow from the
snowthrower.
• Clean off any snow and ice from the base of the chute.
• Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free it from
any ice buildup.
• With the ignition key in the Off position, pull the recoil
starter handle several times or connect the electrical
cord to a power source and the snowthrower and push
the electric start button once to prevent the recoil starter
and/or the electric starter from freezing up.
• In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and mov-
ing parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when
trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty
operating any control or part, start the engine and let
it run for a few minutes.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clearing tool at least 15 inches long, not
your hands (Figure 19).
Figure 19
Hand contact with the rotating auger blades 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.
Operating Tips
• 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 tem per a tures.
• Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow
removal by over lap ping 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.
• Spraying off unit with a hose is NOT recommended.
The auger blades can throw stones, toys, and other
foreign objects and cause serious personal injury
to the operator or to bystanders.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects that
the auger blades could pick up and throw.
• Keep all children and pets away from the area of
operation.
• Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions
im pair visibility. Throwing snow dur ing a heavy,
windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazard-
ous to the safe operation of the snow thrower.

STORAGE
Storage
STORING THE SNOWTHROWER
Immediately prepare your snow thrower for storage at
the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30
days or more.
SNOW THROWER
When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,
clean it thor oughly, re move all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.
Store in a clean, dry area.
1. Clean entire snow thrower after each use.
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “Replace-
ing the Drive Belt” sec tion of this manual).
3. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely
fas tened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear. Replace if nec es sary.
FUEL SYS TEM
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 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.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and car bu re tor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod ucts in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min i-
miz ing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 min utes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil. (See “Changing the Engine Oil” section of this man ual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug.
2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole
into cylinder.
3. Pull recoil starter handle slowly a few times to dis trib ute
oil.
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 pro tec tive
cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe, which allows con den sa tion to
form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/
exhaust area is still warm.
WARNING: Never store the snow thrower with
gaso line in the tank in side a build ing where fumes
may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as
on a fur nace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas
ap pli ance. Allow the engine to cool be fore storing
in any enclosure.
