It is important to became familiar with all the operating

controls and the precautionary measures before starting the

The master clutch handle is located on the handle panel
assembly (See Figure 5) and is used to engage the forward
and reverse belt idlers. Push the clutch handle forward to
engage the idl er for forward motion and to start the snow
blower fan. Pull the clutch handle all the way back and
hold for reverse. Approximately half way between these

twa positions of the clutch handle is the neutral position.

Operate the clutch handle several times until the neutral

position can be determined for the handle should always

be in this position before starting the engine.

The wheel throw-out rod is located on the right hand side

of the handl e panel assembl y (See Figure 6) and is used to
engage or disengage the pav{er to the wheels and the snow

i~take reel. To free the wheels for pushing, pull back on
the control rod. To provide self-propelling pawer to the'
wheels push the control rod forward. NOTE: If the wheel

driving dogs do not immediately disengage it may be
necessary to pull the clutch ~andle back into the reverse

position momentarily, with the engine running, and release.

To release the lock to swing the discharge chute to the right
or left, push in the chute adjustment crank (See Figure 3)

and hold while rotating. Release the crank to lock in one

of the positioning holes. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 9)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

,. ,

NOTE: The three-prong electrical plug-in on the extension
cord is to be used with a grounded circuit electrical outlet.

If no grounded three-prong outlet is available use the two-

prong adapter provided the ground wire on the adapter is

properly grounded. As the engine starts and begins to worm
up gradually return the choke lever to the "No Choke"

position.

NOTE: If the temperature is below + 100 F. depress and
hold the black button (primer) on the carburetor and pull

the engine over slowly with the starter rope. Release the.

button and start the engine as outlined above.

STOPPING THE ENGINE:

~

To stop the engine move the speed control lever to the stop

position or close the fuel shut-off valve under the gasoline
tank. The spork pi ug wire may also be removed to prevent
accidental starting while unattended.

ADJUSTMENT,

REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT

REEL DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT:.

Check periodically for undue looseness. To tighten the

chain, first loosen the t~ nuts at each end of the reel,

holding the reel shaft plates. Slide the snow intake reel
forward by rotating the plate near the sprocket end of the
reel with a punch or rod. Hold in the tightened position
and tighten the reel shaft plate bolts and nuts. IMPORTANT:
Adjust both ends of the reel equally to keep the fan shaft
casting in al ignment. Do not tighten the chain too tig~tly.PAGE

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT:

accessible. Tighten the adjustment nut ta tighten the chain.
CAUTION: Chain should nat be tightened taa tightly.

CABLE ADJUSTMENT:

See Figure 13. Remove cable roller cover. Loosen the

locking bolt on top of the cable roller bracket and tighten

the adjustment bolt on the side.

CAUTION: The cable should not be adjusted too tightly,
but should allow the spout to rotate freely. Retighten the
lacking bait and replace the cable roller caver.

Figure 14

The adjustable shoes may be set lower to prevent picking up
loose stones and foreign material. Also, the disc wheels on
the inside of the scoop may be adjusted to help lift the

scraper blade over small obstructions or may be adjusted to

allow the snow reel to sl ightl y touch the ground for addi-

tional pulling power.

Figure 16

REPLACING SAFETY SHEAR BOLT:

If the intake snow reel should jam causing the safety shear
bolt to shear it may be replaced with a new bolt, furnished

in the parts bag, after removing the broken pieces in the
shaft. NOTE: Always align the hole in collar with the
al ignment grooves on the end of the sprocket sl eeve and

shaft before driving out the broken pin and'replacing the

new bolt.

.Q!UTE CHAIN AND ADJUSTMENT:

To tighten the chute position chain rotate the chute until
the spout is in the straight up position. Tilt the snow blower
forward until the adjustment bolt as shawn in Figure 15 is

BELT AND IDLER WHEEL ADJUSTMENT:
CAUTION: For belt adjustment the engine should be stopped

and the spark plug wire removed.

After the machine has been aperated a short time it may be

necessary to readjust the idl ers for proper bel t tension. The
following steps should also be carefully followed when in­stall ing replacement belts.

11

.FORWARD BELT IDLER ADJUSTMENT:

With the master clutch control in the forward position
the edge of the reverse orm should be 01 igned with
line "B". As the belts become stretched or in the

installation of the new belt it may be necessary to
readjust the forward belt idler in its adjustment slot to
bring the reverse arm to line "B", in the forward
running position. For adjustment, return the clutch
control lever to the neutral position and loosen the
nut holding the forward belt idler and move the idler
in small steps to the right, and tighten the nut. Again
move the clutch control lever to the forward position

and check for al ignment with line "B". Repeat the
above steps until the proper idler position is accomp-

lished. NOTE: When retightening the nut on the
forward belt idler care should be taken to position the
forward belt restrictor to clear the belt at all points when
the idler pulley is engaged in the running position and it
should also clear the large pulley as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 17REVERSE

ARM ADJUSTMENT:

Remove the belt guard. A belt replacement decal is
located on the ponel behind the reverse arm which is
used to properly position the reverse arm and the idlers.
With the master clutch control in the neutral position

the right hand edge of the reverse arm should be al igned

with line "A" on the decal. The two bolts on the clutch
lock out arm may be loosened to allow adjustment of the
arm up or down as needed to position the reverse arm

to line "A".

REVERSE IDLER ADJUSTMENT:

With the clutch control in the forword running position

check to see that the reverse belt is tight when pulled

up on the rim of the reverse belt idler wheel. Loosen
the bolt on the reverse idler and slide it up or down to
obtain the proper tension. Return the cl utch cont;ol
to the neutral position and position the reverse belt in
the center of the idl er. Check to see thot there is
approximatel y 1/8 inch clearance between the lorge

pulley and the pulley band.

END OF SEASON STORAGE:~--

In the event the engine is to be stored for any length of time

(30 days or more) or at the end of the snow blowing season,

prepare it as outlined in the following steps.

1

Drain gas tank completely by removing fuel line atthe

carburetor or fuel tank, whichever is easier.

Drain the carburetor by pressing up~rd on the bowl

drain.

To protect the engine when storing, remove the spark
plug and inject one ounce of S.A.E. 10 weight oil
through the spark plug hole into the cylinder. Crank
the engine (without starting) several times to spread theoil

over the cylinder walls.
