FULL

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude

use, see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.

CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will damage the engine components and void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If starting or performance problems occur, change fuel providers or

change brands. This engine is certied to operate on gasoline.

The emissions control system for this engine is EM (Engine

Modications).

Figure 6

HIGH ALTITUDE

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See an authorized Briggs & Stratton Dealer for high altitude adjustment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with high altitude adjustment is not recommended.

Before stopping the engine for a few minutes to help dry o

any moisture on the engine.

WARNING: Gasoline and vapors are extremely

ammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. DO NOT choke the carburetor to stop the engine.

1. Remove the safety key (A, Figure 7).

2. Keep the safety key out of the reach of children.

NOTE: Do not lose the safety key. Keep the safety key in a

safe place. The engine will not start without the safety/ignition key.

Figure 9

IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the starter, use

short starting cycles (ve seconds maximum). Wait

one minute between starting cycles.

NOTE: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see an authorized dealer.

Operation

CLEAR A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE

WARNING: Hand contact with the rotating

impeller inside the discharge

chute is the most common cause of injury

associated with snowthrowers. Never clear or unclog discharge chute with your hands, or while

engine is running. Fingers can quickly become

caught and traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

• SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!

• Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades

have stopped rotating.

• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.

A clean-out tool (A, Figure 10) is attached to either the handle or the top of the auger housing. Use the clean-out tool to remove snow from the auger housing.

OPERATING TIPS

1. Most ecient snowthrowing is accomplished when snow

is removed immediately after it falls.

2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath previously taken.

3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible.

4. For normal usage, set the skids 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the skids may be adjusted upward to ensure cleaning ef-

ciency.

5. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see “Adjust Skid Height” in the Maintenance section of this manual). Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.

6. After the snowthrowing job has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice accumulated on the engine.

7. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.

8. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from

the entire snowthrower, and ush with water (if possible)

to remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snowthrower dry.

9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and impeller for ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result in snowthrower damage.

10. Check oil level before every start. Make sure the oil is at

the FULL mark on the oil ll cap/dipstick.

Drain Oil – Position snowthrower so that the oil drain plug (A, Figure 12) is lowest point on engine. When the engine is warm,

remove oil drain plug and oil ll cap and drain oil into a suitable

container.

Replace oil drain plug and tighten securely. Rell crankcase

with the recommended motor oil.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Check Crankcase Oil Level - Before starting engine and after

each 8 hours of continuous use. Add the recommended motor oil as required.

NOTE: Over lling the engine can aect performance. Tighten the oil ll cap securely to prevent leakage.

Change Oil - Every 50 hours of operation or at least once a

year, even if the snowthrower is not used for fty hours. Use a clean, high quality detergent oil. Fill the crankcase to FULL

line on dipstick (A, Figure 11). Be sure original container is

marked: A.P.I. service “SF” or higher. Do not use SAE10W40

oil (as it may not provide proper lubrication). See Chart for oil recommendations.

* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting. ** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil con- sumption. Check oil level more frequently.

Figure 11

Maintenance

This snowthrower is equipped with two height adjust skids, secured to the outside of the auger housing. These elevate the front of the snowthrower.

When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a paved driveway or walk, adjust the skids up to bring the front of the snowthrower down.

When removing snow from rock or uneven construction, raise the front of the snowthrower by moving the skids down. This will help to prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown by the augers.

1. Determine how much clearance you want between the scraper bar at the bottom of the auger housing and the ground. If clearing a gravel surface, enough ground clearance is needed to prevent the unit from picking up rocks.

2. Place a block equal to the desired ground clearance under the

scraper bar.

3. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts (A, Figure 13) and push the skid shoe (B) down until it touches the ground. Re-tighten mounting nuts.

4. Set the skid shoe on the other side at the same height.

Figure 12

SKID SHOE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

DANGER: Amputation Hazard The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to

throw snow. Fingers can quickly become caught and

traumatic amputation or severe laceration will result. Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the

discharge chute is the most common cause of injury

associated with snowthrowers.

Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the engine key before performing

any maintenance or repairs.

WARNING: Thrown Objects Hazard Objects such as gravel, rocks, or other debris, if

struck by the impeller, may be thrown with sucient force to cause personal injury, property damage, or

damage to the snowthrower.

Be sure to set the skid shoes at the proper height to maintain ground clearance for the type of surface being cleared.

AUGER CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the lever and cause the auger drive to be engaged

without depressing the auger drive control.

1. With the auger control lever released, the hook (A, Figure 14) should barely touch the lever (B) without raising it. There can be a maximum of 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) clearance.

2. To adjust, loosen the nut (C) by holding the adjusting ats (D)

and turning the nut. Then, turn the adjusting ats and hold

the adjustment screw (E). The adjustment screw is a phillips screw and the head can be held or turned by inserting a screwdriver through the spring (F).

3. Hold the adjusting ats and tighten the nut.

4. Start the engine and check the auger. The auger must not be engaged unless the auger control lever is depressed.

5. With the engine running, fully depress the auger drive control lever. The auger should engage and run normally.

6. Release the auger control lever.

7. If the auger does not operate properly, stop the engine and recheck the auger control cable adjustment.

8. If the drive linkage is properly adjusted, the tension of the auger drive belt may require an adjustment. See an authorized dealer.

AUGER SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with special bolts that are designed to break if an object becomes lodged in the auger housing. Use of a harder bolt will reduce the protection provided by the shear bolt.

Maintenance

WARNING: To ensure safety and performance levels, only original replacement shear bolts should be used.

1. Stop the engine, disengage all controls, disconnect the spark plug lead wire, and make sure all moving parts have stopped.

2. Align the hole in the auger with the hole in the auger shaft. In-

stall new shear bolt (A, Figure 15), spacer (B) and locknut (C) found in the parts bag or toolbox located on the belt cover.

NOTE: The spacer ts into the larger hole in the auger tube.

CHECK THE TIRES

Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires with an accurate gauge (see Figure 16).

CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are ser-

viced incorrectly.

• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

• Do not inate the tires above the maximum

pressure.

• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly.

Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can

structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inating. Use appropriate tool that allows

you to stand to one side.

Power Rating

The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engi-

neers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken

with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine

power will be higher than net engine power and is aected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-

engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated

gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This dierence is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited

to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this engine.
