FILL GAS:

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade

autornotivegasoline.Besurethatthecontaineryoupour

the gasolinefrom is clean and free from rust or other

foreignparticles.Never use gasolinethatmay be stale

trom tongperiodsof storage inthe container.,

NOTE: S,,A,,E_5W-30 motor oil may be used to make

startingeasier inareaswherethe temperatureis 20" F,

or lower,,

WARNING: Experience indicates that aP..oholblended

fuels (called gasohot orthose using ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture which leads to separation and for-

mation 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 linger Start the

engine and let it rununtil the fuel lines and carburetor are

empty. Use the carburetor bowl drain to empty residual

gasoline from the float chamber (Fig 42) Use fresh fuel

next season° (See Storage instructions on page 25 for

additional information°)

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warrantyonthissnowthrowerdoesnotcoveritems

that have been subjectedto operator abuseor negli-

gence,.To receivefull value from the warranty,operator

must maintain snowthrower as instructedinthismanual.

MAINTENANCE

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to

propedy mainlain your snow thrower,

All adjustments inthe Service and Adjustments section of

this manual should be checked at feast once each

season,

AFTER FIRST USE

eCheck thetracks for tension and adjust ifnecessary

(See To Adjust Track paragraph on page 23).

Checkthe track adjustment and fasteners reguladyr

(PULL UP GENTLY AT CENTER)

FIG. 15

eBe sure that all tasteners are tight..

AS REQUIRED

The following adjustments should be performed more

than once each season.

eAuger and Track Drive Belts shouid be adjusted

alter the first 2 hours of use and again after 25 hours

and at the beginning o! each season SeeTo Adjust

Belts paragraph on page 19

e All screws and nuts should be checked often to

make sure they are tight, pre{erabty alter each use.

LUBRICATION -EVERY TEN HOURS

•Weight Transter System _Coat weight transler side

plates with clinging type grease, such as Lubrip_ate,

every ten (10) hours and before storage,, See Lu-

brication Chart on page 26

e Auger Shaft- Using a hand greasegun,lubricatethe

auger shaft zerk fittings (See A, Fig 16) every ten

(10) operating hours, Each time a shear bolt is

replaced (see TO Replace Auger Shear Bolt para -

graph on page 23),the augershaft MUSTbe greased,

e For storage or when replacing shear boils, remove

shear boils and lubricate auger shaft zed_s,,Rotate

augers several times on the shaft and reinstal! the

shear bolts.

LUBRICATION - NOT REQUIRED

eHex Shaft and Gears- Hex shaft and gears require

nolubrication, Altbearings andbushings areliletime

lubricated andrequireno maintenance(See Fig 17),,

NOTE: Any greasing oroiling of the above components

can cause contamination ol the frictionwheel, Ifthe disc

Changethe oil afterlirst two hours of operation and every

25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the snow

thrower is not used for 25 hours (See Fig. 19).

•Position snow thrower so that the oil drain ptug is

lowest point on the engine. Remove oil drain plug

and oil fill captdipstick,. Drain oil into a suitable

container. Oil will drain more freely when warm,

• Replace oil drain plug and tighten securely,, Refill

SPARK PLUG

•Make sure that the spark plug istightened securely

into the engine and the spark pJug wire is attached

to the spark plug_

•If atorque wrench is available, torque plug to 18 to

TO ADJUST SKID HEIGHT

This snow thrower is equipped withtwo height adjust-

merit skids, located on the outside of the augerhousing

(See Fig. 20)° These skids elevate the frontof the snow

thrower. For normal hard surfaces, adjust the skids as

follows:

eMake sure the weight transfer system is released

by holding upper handle firmlyand pushing down

weighttransfer pedal with the ball of your foot.

®Place extra shear bolts suppiied (found in parts

bag) under each end of the scraperbar near but not

under the skid..

e Loosen the skid mounling nuts (See Fig. 20) and

push the skid down until it touches the ground..

Retighten the mounting nuts.

®Set the skid on the other side at same heighL

For rocky or uneven surfaces, raise the front of the snow

thrower by moving the skids down furthers.This wifl help

prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and

thrown by the auger

NOTE: if the skids are at the maximum height, the weight

transfer system will not work..

TO ADJUST SCRAPER BAR

After considerable use, the metal scraper bar will have

a detinite wear patternr The scraper bar may have to be

returned to its odginal lower setting to maintain the

original performance lever. To adjust:

oPosition the snow thrower on a level surface

oLoosen the carriage bolts and nuts securing the

scraper bar _othe auger housing.

oAdjust the scraper bar to the proper position.

®Tighten the carriage bolls and nuts, making sure

:hat the scraper bar is parallel with the working

surface.

CAUTION: BE CERTAIN TO MAINTAIN

TO ADJUST CHUTE

CRANK ASSEMBLY

tf you cannot rotate the chute crank fully to the left and to

the right,you need to adjust the chute crank (See Fig. 21)

eLoosen both 1t2" nuts on the crank adjusting rod

(using 3/4" wrenches).

eRotate the adjusting rod in or out to allow about

1/8" clearance between the notch inthe flange and

the ouler diameter of the worm..

e Once this clearance is set, tighten the nuts

NOTE: Be sure the crank does not touch the side of the

engine or the cover will be scratched°

Gasoline must be removed or treated to prevent gum

deposits from forming in the tank, filter, hose, and

carburetor during storage. Also during storage, al-

cohol blended gasoline that uses ethanol or metha-

nol (sometimes called gasohol) attractswater°It acts

on the gasoline to form acids which damage the

engine.
