with the controls and the proper use of the

snow thrower. Know how to stop the snow

thrower and disengage the controls quick-

ly.

2. Never allow children to operate the snow

thrower. Never allow adults to operate the

snow thrower without proper instruction.

3. Keep the area of operation clear of all per- sons, particularly small children and pets.

4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling especially when operating in reverse.

PREPARATION

1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the snow thrower is to be used and remove all

doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other

foreign objects.

2. Disengage all clutches before starting the engine (motor).

3. Do not operate the snow thrower without

wearing adequate winter outer garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on

slippery surfaces.

4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flam- mable.

a. Use an approved fuel container. b. Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel

to a running engine (motor) or hot en-

gine (motor).

c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme

care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

d. Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up

spilled fuel.

e. Never store fuel or snow thrower with

fuel in the tank inside of a building where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark.

f. Check fuel supply before each use, al-

lowing space for expansion as the heat of the engine (motor) and/or sun can cause fuel to expand.

5. For all snow throwers with electric starting motors use electric starting extension cords certified CSA/UL. Use only with a re-

ceptacle that has been installed in accord- ance with local inspection authorities.

6. Let engine (motor) and snow thrower ad-

just to outdoor temperatures before starting to clear snow.

1. Pull as much starter rope as pos- sible out of the starter.

2. Release the starter handle and let it snap back against the starter. Re-

peat until the engine starts.

Warm engines will cause condensation

in cold weather. To prevent possible

freeze-up of recoil starter and engine

controls, proceed as fol!ows after each snow removal job.

F 0410110L 17

1. With engine off, allow engine to cool for several minutes.

2. Pull starter rope very slowly until re- sistance is felt, then stop. Allow the starter rope to recoil. Repeat three

times.

3. With the engine not running, wipe all snow and moisture from the carbu-

retor cover in area of controls and levers. Also, move the choke control

and starter handle several times.

to remove snow or debris that may become lodged in

ger or discharge chute. Use the cleaning stick to remove snow.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

1. For maximum snow thrower efficien- cy in removing snow, adjust ground

speed. Go slower in deep, freezing or wet snow. If the wheels slips, re- duce forward speed.

2. Most efficient snow throwing is ac- complished when the snow is re-

moved immediately after if falls.

3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each path previously taken.

4. The snow should be discharged down wind whenever possible.

5. For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper bar is 1/8" above

the skids. For extremely hard-

packed snow surfaces, adjust the

skids upward so that the scraper

bar touches the ground.

6. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4" below the

scraper bar. See To Adjust Skid

Height paragraph in the Service & Adjustments section of this manu- al. Rocks and gravel must not be

picked up and thrown by the ma- chine.

7. After the snow throwing job has been completed, allow the engine to

idle for a few minutes, which will melt snow and accumulated ice off

the engine.

8. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly

after each use.

9. Remove ice and snow accumulation

and all debris from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water (if pos- sible) to remove all salt or other

chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this snow thrower does

not cover items that have been subjected

to operator abuse or negligence. To re-

ceive full value from the warranty, the op- erator must maintain the snow thrower as

instructed in this manual. Some adjustments will need to be made

periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems can

be performed by any non-road engine re- pair establishment or individual. Regular maintenance will improve the performance

and extend the life of the engine.

AFTER EACH USE

• Run the machine to clear the auger of snow.

• To prevent freezing of the auger or controls, remove all snow and slush

from the snow thrower.

• Check for any loose or damaged parts.

• Tighten any loose fasteners.

• Check and maintain the auger.

• Check controls to make sure they are functioning properly.

• If any parts are worn or damaged,

replace immediately.

_b WARNING: Do not strike the

flywheel with a hammer or a

hard opject. If done, the fly-

wheel can shatter during operation.

Do not tamper with the governor spring, links or other parts to in-

crease engine speed.

POWER RATINGS

The power ratings for an individual

engine model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Automo-

tive Engineers) code J1940 (Small

5W30

(Gap .030 in.) or equivalent

Engine Power & Torque Rating Proce- dure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the wide array of products on which our

engines are placed, and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when

used in a piece of power equipment (actual "on-site" power). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the following: differ-

ences in altitude, temperature, baro- metric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maximum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine

variability, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the manner in which the engine is operated, engine

run-in to reduce friction and clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to

the valves and carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may also be

adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized in similar

applications, and will therefore not necessarily match the values derived using the foregoing codes.
