minutes as the engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperature.

1. Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.

WARNING: Temperature of muffler and
surrounding areas may exceed 150oF.
Avoid these areas.

2. To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter,

• For most efficient snow removal, remove
snow immediately after it falls.

Connect power cord to switch box on engine, then to
120 volt AC receptacle. With the engine running,
push starter button and spin the starter for several
seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the
starter will not harm engine or starter. Disconnect
the power cord from receptacle first, and then from
switch box.

• Discharge
snow
downwind
whenever
possible. Slightly overlap each previous
swath.

• Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar
for normal usage. The skid shoes may be
adjusted upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust
downward when using on gravel or crushed
rock.

• Be certain to follow the precautions listed
under ‘‘To Stop Engine’’ in previous column to
prevent possible freeze-up.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each
use.

SECTION 8: ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Never attempt to clean
chute or make any adjustments while
engine is running.

2. Remove the frame cover underneath the snow
thrower by removing the six self-tapping screws.
3. With the traction control clutch released, check if
there is clearance between the friction wheel
and the drive plate in all positions of the shift
lever. For correct adjustment there has to be
enough clearance.

ADJUSTING CHUTE
You can control the distance that snow is thrown by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. The
sharper the angle, the shorter the distance snow is
thrown.

4. With the traction control clutch engaged, check if
the friction wheel is contacting the drive plate.
See Figure 25.

1. To adjust the chute, loosen the hand knob. See
Figure 24.

5. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut
on the traction control cable, and thread cable in

MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY FOR:

The limited warranty set forth below is given by MTD
PRODUCTS INC (“MTD”) with respect to new merchandise purchased and used in the United States, its possessions and territories.
MTD warrants this product against defects in material and
workmanship for a period of two (2) years commencing on
the date of original purchase and will, at its option, repair or
replace, free of charge, any part found to be defective in
material or workmanship. This limited warranty shall only
apply if this product has been operated and maintained in
accordance with the Operator’s Manual furnished with the
product, and has not been subject to misuse, abuse, commercial use, neglect, accident, improper maintenance,
alteration, vandalism, theft, fire, water or damage because
of other peril or natural disaster. Damage resulting from the
installation or use of any accessory or attachment not
approved by MTD Products Inc. for use with the product(s)
covered by this manual will void your warranty as to any
resulting damages.
Normal wear parts or components thereof are subject to
separate terms as follows: All normal wear part or component failures will be covered on the product for a period of
90 days regardless of cause. After 90 days, but within the
two year period, normal wear part failures will be covered
ONLY IF caused by defects in material or workmanship of
OTHER component parts. Normal wear parts and components include, but are not limited to, belts, blades, blade
adapters, grass bags, rider deck wheels, seats, snow
thrower skid shoes, shave plates and tires. Batteries are
covered by a 90-day limited replacement warranty.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE: Warranty service is available, WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE THROUGH YOUR
LOCAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER. To locate the
dealer in your area, please check for a listing in the Yellow
Pages or contact the Customer Service Department of
MTD PRODUCTS INC by calling 1-800-800-7310 or writing to P.O. Box 368022, Cleveland, Ohio 44136-9722. No
product returned directly to the factory will be accepted
unless prior written permission has been extended by the
Customer Service Department of MTD PRODUCTS INC.
This limited warranty does not provide coverage in the
following cases:
a. The engine or component parts thereof. These items
carry a separate manufacturer’s warranty. Please
refer to the applicable manufacturer’s warranty on
these items.

b. Routine maintenance items such as lubricants, filters,
blade sharpening and tune-ups, or adjustments such
as brake adjustments, clutch adjustments or deck
adjustments; and normal deterioration of the exterior
finish due to use or exposure.
c. Log splitter pumps, valves and cylinders have a separate one year warranty.
d. MTD does not extend any warranty for products sold
or exported outside of the United States of America,
its possessions and territories, except those sold
through MTD’s authorized channels of export distribution.
No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,
applies after the applicable period of express written
warranty above as to the parts as identified. No other
express warranty or guaranty, whether written or oral,
except as mentioned above, given by any person or
entity, including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any
product shall bind MTD. During the period of the Warranty, the exclusive remedy is repair or replacement of
the product as set forth above. (Some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitation may not apply to you.)
The provisions as set forth in this Warranty provide the
sole and exclusive remedy arising from the sales. MTD
shall not be liable for incidental or consequential loss
or damages including, without limitation, expenses
incurred for substitute or replacement lawn care services, for transportation or for related expenses, or for
rental expenses to temporarily replace a warranted
product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.)
In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the
amount of the purchase price of the product sold. Alteration
of the safety features of the product shall void this Warranty. You assume the risk and liability for loss, damage, or
injury to you and your property and/or to others and their
property arising out of the use or misuse or inability to use
the product.
This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than
the original purchaser, original lessee or the person for
whom it was purchased as a gift.
How State Law Relates to this Warranty: This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
