OPERATION
TO USE WEIGHT TRANSFER SYSTEM ...................... ..............................
In hard packed or heavy snow conditions, conventional
snow throwers tend to ride up and leave uneven mounds
of snow behind. For these conditions, your new tracked
snow thrower has a unique weight transfer system (See
Fig, 11) designed to minimize ride-up,
Stepping on the weight transfer pedal shiit s more weight
to the auger housing. This weight transfer keeps the
snow thrower in contact with the ground and reduces
ride-up.
In Iighter snow conditions or when transporting, you
should release the weight transfer system 1or easier
steering.
e To use the weight transfer, hold the upper handle
firmly and push down on the weight transfer pedal
(See Fig_ 12) with the ball of your foot.
e To release, pull up on the weight transfer pedal with
the top of your foot.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGtNE
FILL! ADD OIL:
The engine on this snow thrower was shipped without
oil, Add oil before you start the engine.. Remove the oil
fill cap/dipstick and fill the crank case to FULL line on
dipstick (about 21 ounces) (See Fig.. 13) with S.AE.
10 W-30 motor oil (or equivalent). Do not overfill. Tighten
the fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil
level,,
NOTE: SAE. 5W-30 motor oil may be used to make
starting easier in areas where temperature is consis-
tently 20° F, or lower..

FILL GAS:
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade auto-
motive gasoline., Be sure that the container you pour the
gasoline from is clean and free from rust or other foreign
particles.. Never use gasoline that may be stale from long
periods of storage in the container°
WARNING: Experience indicates that 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 for 30 days or longer'.. Drain the

TO STOP ENGmNE
eTo stop engine, move the throttle control lever to
"STOP" position and remove key. Keep the key in a
safe place_ The engine will not start without the key.
TO START ENGINE
Be sure that the engine has sufficient oil. Before starting
the engine, be certain that you have read the following
information:
COLD START (See Fig. 14)
OBe sure the auger and the traction clutch levers are
in the disengaged "RELEASED" position.
®Move the throttle control up to "FAST" position.
®Push the key into the ignition slot. Be sure it snaps
into place, Do not turn key.
o
o
o
Rotate choke control to "FULL" choke position,
Press the primer button two or three times, while
keeping your finger' over the vent hole on the primer
button. Additional priming may be necessary for the
first start if the temperature is below 15° F,
Pull the starter handle rapidly, Do not allow the
handle to snap back, but allow it to rewind slowly
while keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.
As the engine warms up and begins to operate
evenly, rotate the choke knob slowly to "OFF" posi-
tion. If the engine falters, return to "FULL" choke,
then slowly move to "OFF" choke position.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
because the engine will not develop full power until it
reaches operating ternperature.
eRun the engine at or near the top speed when
throwing snow..

tf the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:
oPutl as much rope out of the starter as possible.
eRelease the starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter_
If the engine still fails to start, repeat unlit it starts..
To help prevent possible freeze-up of recoil starter and
engine controls, proceed as follows after each snow
removal job,.
o With the engine running, putl the starter rope hard
with a continuous full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling of starter rope will produce a loud clattering
sound. This is not harmlu! to the engine or starter
eWith the engine not running, wipe all snow and
moistu refrom the carburetor cover in area of control
levers_ Also move throttle control, choke control,
and starter handle several times.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
o For maximum snow thrower efficiency, adjust ground
speed, not throttle. Ifthe track slips, reduce forward
speed_ The engine isdesigned to deliver maximum
performance at full throttle and shou{d be run at this
power setting at all times..
•Most efficient snow blowing is accomplished when
the snow is removed immediately after it falls
eFor complete snow removal, slightly overlap each
path previously taken.
eThe snow should be discharged down wind when-
ever possible..
o
o
For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper
bar is 1/8" above the skids. For extremefy hard-
packed snow surfaces, adjust the skids upward so
that the scraper bar touches the ground
On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at
1-1/4" below the scraper bar (see Skids Height Ad-
justment paragraph on page 16). Rocks and gravel
must not be picked up and thrown by the machine..
If the front of the snow thrower has a tendency to
raise, reduce the ground speed and engage the
weight transfer system.
After the snow blowing iob has been completed,
allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, which will
melt snow and accumulated ice off the engine
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use,
Remove {ce and snow accumulation and all debris
from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water (it
possible) to remove all salt orotherchemicals. Wipe
snow thrower dr_'_
