Electric Starter

• Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire

grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you

are not certain.

WARNING: The electric starter is

equipped with a grounded three-wire power

cord and plug and is designed to operate on

120 volt AC household current. It must be

used with a properly grounded three-prong

receptacle at all times to avoid the possibility

of electric shock. Follow all instructions

carefully prior to operating the electric starter.

• If your house wiring system is not a three-wire

grounded system, do not use this electric starter

under any conditions.

• If your home electrical system is grounded, but a

three-hole receptacle is not available, one should

be installed by a licensed electrician before using

the electric starter.

• If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,

proceed as follows:

• Connect power cord to switch box on engine. Plug

the other end of power cord into a three-prong, 120-

volt, grounded, AC receptacle.

• Rotate choke knob to FULL choke position (cold

engine start). If engine is warm, place choke in OFF

position instead of FULL.

• Push primer button two or three times for cold

engine start, making sure to cover vent hole in

primer button when pushing. DO NOT use primer to

restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.

• Push starter button to start engine.

• When engine starts, release starter button, and

move choke gradually to OFF. If engine falters,

move choke immediately to FULL and then

gradually to OFF.

• When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug

snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a

firm hold on the starter handle.

• Repeat the previous steps until engine starts.

10

• As engine warms up, rotate choke knob slowly to

OFF position. If engine falters, return to FULL

choke, then slowly move to OFF position.

To Stop Engine

• Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to

help dry off any moisture on the engine.

• To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter,

proceed as follows:

Electric Starter:

• 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.

Recoil Starter

• With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid,

continuous full arm stroke three or four times.

Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering

sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.

• Move throttle control to “stop” or “off” position.

• Remove ignition key to prevent unauthorized use of

equipment. Do not turn key.

NOTE: Keep key in a safe place. Engine will not start

without ignition key.

Auger Control Test

IMPORTANT:

Perform the following test before

operating the snow thrower for the first time and at the

start of each winter season.

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

• When the auger control is released and in the

disengaged “up” position, the cable should have

very little slack, but should NOT be tight.

WARNING: Do not over-tighten the cable.

Over-tightening may prevent the auger from

disengaging and compromise the safety of the

snow thrower.

• In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower

engine as instructed earlier in this section under the

heading Starting Engine. Make sure the throttle is set

in the FAST position.

• While standing in the operator’s position (behind

the snow thrower) engage the auger.

• Allow the auger to remain engaged for

approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing

the auger control. Repeat this several times.

• With the engine running in the FAST position and

the auger control in the disengaged “up” position,

walk to the front of the machine.

• Confirm that the auger has completely stopped

rotating and shows NO signs of motion.

IMPORTANT:

If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating,

immediately return to the operator’s position and shut

off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before

readjusting the auger control cable.

• To readjust the control cable, unhook the spring

(found on the end of the auger cable) from the

auger actuator bracket. See Figure 9.

Figure 9

• Push the cable coupler through the end of the

SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: NEVER attempt to clean

chute or make any adjustments while engine

is running. Always wear safety glasses

during operation or while performing any

adjustments or repairs.

Drive Control and Shift Lever

To check the adjustment of the drive control and shift

lever, proceed as follows:

• Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.

• With the drive control released, push the snow

thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine

should move freely.

• Engage the drive control and attempt to move the

machine both forward and back, resistance should

be felt.

• Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)

position and repeat the previous two steps.

If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either

when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when

attempting to move the machine with the drive control

released, adjust the drive control immediately. To

adjust, proceed as follows:

• To readjust the drive control cable, unhook the

drive spring (found on the end of the drive control

12

cable) from the drive actuator bracket. See Figure

9.

• Push the cable coupler through the end of the

spring to expose the lock nut. See Figure 10.

• Thread the lock nut outward (down the coupler)

three full turns to provide more slack in the cable

and reattach the spring to the bracket.

• Check the adjustment of the drive control as

instructed earlier. Repeat the previous steps to

provide more slack in the cable, if necessary.

If you are uncertain that you have reached the correct

adjustment, proceed as follows:

WARNING: Drain the gasoline out of your

snow thrower’s engine, or place a piece of

plastic film under the gas cap to avoid spillage

before beginning the job.

• Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on

the auger housing.

• Remove the frame cover underneath the snow

thrower by removing six self-tapping screws.

• With the drive control released, make sure there is

clearance between the friction wheel and the drive

plate in all positions of the shift lever.

• With the drive control lever engaged, make sure the

friction wheel solidly contacts the drive plate. See

Figure 11.

Figure 11

If adjustment is necessary, adjust drive control as

instructed below:

• Thread the lock nut outward (down the coupler) to

provide more slack in the cable or thread the lock

nut inward (up the coupler) to provide less slack in

the cable. Refer to Figure 10.

• Reattach the spring to the bracket.

Figure 12

• Reassemble the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap, be

certain to remove it before operating the snow thrower.

Shift Rod

If your snow thrower is not achieving its full range of

speeds, the shift rod is in need of adjustment. To adjust

the shift rod, proceed as follows:

• Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the

shift handle under the handle panel.

• Place shift lever in sixth (6) position (fastest forward

speed).

• Push shift arm assembly down as far as it will go.

• Rotate the ferrule up or down on the shift rod as

necessary until the ferrule lines up with the upper

hole in the shift lever. See Figure 12.

• Insert ferrule from the left side of the snow thrower

into the upper hole.

• Reinstall the hairpin clip and the washer.

NOTE: Make certain to check for correct adjustment

of the shift rod as instructed on page 11—Drive Control

and Shift Lever before operating the snow thrower.

pressure.

Skid Shoe Adjustment

The space between the shave plate and the ground can

be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes.

For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth

concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in

the low position. Use the middle or high position when

the area to be cleared is uneven. When operating on

gravel, always put skid shoes in the high position.

See .

Adjust skid shoes as follows:

• Loosen, but do not remove, the three hex nuts

which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.

• Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.

• Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.

• Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.

NOTE: Make certain the bottom surface of skid shoe is

flat against the ground to avoid uneven wear.
