Safe Operation Practices for Snow Throwers
IMPORTANT: This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following
safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Look for this symbol to point out im­ por tant safety precautions. It means CAUTION!!! BE COME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFE TY IS IN VOLVED.
WARNING: Always disconnect spark plug wire and place it where it can not con tact plug in order to pre vent ac ci ­den tal start ing when setting up, trans­ port ing, ad just ing or making re pairs.
WARNING: This snow thrower is for use on sidewalks, driveways and other ground level surfaces. Caution should be exercised while using on sloping surfaces. Do not use snow thrower on surfaces above ground level such as roofs of residences, garages, porch es or other such structures or buildings.
WARNING: Snow throwers have ex­ posed rotating parts, which can cause severe injury from contact, or from ma­terial thrown from the discharge chute. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, small children and pets at all times including startup.
CAUTION: Muffl er and other engine parts become extremely hot during operation and remain hot after engine has stopped. To avoid severe burns on contact, stay away from these areas.
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its con stit u ents, and certain vehicle com po nents contain or emit chem i­cals known to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and birth defects or oth er re pro duc tive harm.
TRAINING
• Read the operating and service instruction manual care ful ly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.

PREPARATION
• Remove foreign objects. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equip ment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, rocks & landscaping.
• Disengage all clutches before starting engine (mo­ tor).
• Do not operate the equipment without wearing ad e ­quate winter outer garments. Avoid loose, dangling clothing, such as scarves, which can get caught in rotating parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly fl ammable.
- Never smoke while refueling.
- Use an approved fuel container.
- Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel to a running
engine (motor) or hot engine (motor).
- Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fi ll
fuel tank indoors.
- Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled
fuel.
- Never store fuel or snow thrower with fuel in the
tank inside of a building where fumes may reach an open fl ame or spark.
- Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space
for expansion as the heat of the engine (motor) and/or sun cause fuel to expand.
STATIC ELECTRICITY HAZARD -
- Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place con tain ers on the ground, away from your vehicle before fi lling.
- 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.
- Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tankopening at all times, until re fu el ing is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
- If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing im-
me di ate ly.
• For all units with electric starting motors use electric starting ex ten sion cords certifi ed CSA/UL. Use only with a receptacle that has been installed in accordance with local inspection authorities.
• If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface, use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.
• Never attempt to make any ad just ments while the engine (motor) is running (except when specifi cally rec om mend ed by manufacturer).
• Let engine (motor) and snow thrower adjust to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during op­eration or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the snow thrower.

OPERATION
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17) NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be used
to adjust the skid plates.
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in normal con di tions, such as a paved driveway or side walk, place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper clear ance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface to be cleared is uneven.
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property dam age or damage to the snow thrower.
• If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface, use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.
1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Adjust skid plates by loosening the rear 1/2" hex nut only, then moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.

SCRAPER BAR
The scraper bar is not adjustable, but is reversible. After con sid er able use it may become worn. When it has worn almost to the edge of the housing, it can be reversed, providing additional service before requiring replacement. Replace a dam aged or worn scrap er bar.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from the factory, already fi lled with oil.
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
2. Remove oil fi ll cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until “FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfi ll.
• To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL” in the Main te nance sec tion of this manual.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18)
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank fi ller neck. Do not over­fi ll. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open fl ame.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas o hol or using ethanol or methanol) can at­tract moisture which leads to separation and for ma tion of acids dur ing storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied be fore stor age of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage In struc tions for ad di tion al information. Never use engine or car bu re tor cleaner products in the fuel tank or per ma nent damage may occur.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
• Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
• Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.
• It is easier and more effi cient to remove snow im me ­di ate ly after it falls.
• 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.
• Ad just the skid plates to proper height for current snow con di tions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this section of this manual.
• 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 fl ow 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.
WARNING: Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions im pair vis­ibility. Throwing snow dur ing a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower.

MAINTENANCE
V-BELTS
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not ad just able. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion and should be replaced by original equipment man u fac tur er (OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to the snow thrower.
AUGER GEAR CASE
• The gear case was fi lled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs attention is if service has been performed on the gear case.
• If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.
CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above com po ­nents can cause contamination of the friction wheel and damage to the drive system of your snow thrower.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classifi cation SG–SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature.
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 50 hours of operation or at least once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 50 hours in one year.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil change. All oil must meet API service classifi cation SG–SL.
• Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
• Oil will drain more freely when warm.
• Catch oil in a suitable container.
NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place­ ment of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil trapped inside the engine. (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2. Clean area around drain plug.
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
7. Remove oil fi ll cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt to enter the engine.
8. Refi ll engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour slowly. Do not overfi ll. For approximate capacity see “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this man u al.
9. Use gauge on oil fi ll cap/dipstick for checking level. Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.
10. Wipe off any spilled oil.
MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffl er as it could cre ate a fi re haz ard and/or dam age.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug at the beginning of each season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs fi rst. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PROD UCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this manual.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep snow thrower
housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your snow thrower after each use.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each fi ve (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fi ll cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it can not come in contact with plug.
• Keep fi nished surfaces/wheels free of gasoline, oil, etc.
• We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean your snow thrower unless the electrical system, muffl er and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine can result in shortened engine life.

STORAGE
NOTE: To seal punctures or prevent fl at tires due to slow
leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and cor ro sion.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134 meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower to a qualifi ed service center.
ENGINE SPEED
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact a qualifi ed service center, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary ad just ments.
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.
WARNING: Never store the snow thrower with gaso line in the tank in side a build ing where fumes may reach an open fl ame, 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.
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 (See “CLEANING” in the Main te nance section of this manual).
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE­ PLACE BELTS” in the Service and Adjustments sec tion of this manual).
3. Lubricate as shown in the Main te nance sec tion of this man u al.
4. 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.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
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 (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.
• 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 drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en­gine oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance 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 star ter handle slowly a few times to dis trib ute oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
• 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.
