MTF-0410104L
IMPORTANT
WARNING: Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot make contact with spark plug to prevent accidental starting during: Preparation, Maintenance, or Storage of your snowthrower.
Safe Operation Practices for Snowthrowers
As Recommended By: American National Standards Institute.
Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other repro­ductive harm.
Battery posts, terminals and related accesso­ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi­cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require operator presence
controls to minimize the risk of injury. Your snowthrower is equipped with such controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function of the operator presence control under any cir­cumstances.
Training
1. Read the operating and service instruction manual care­fully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, 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 equipment 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 equipment without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
a. Use an approved fuel container. b. Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel to a running en-
gine (motor) or hot engine (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 snowthrower 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, allowing space for
expansion as the heat of the engine (motor) and/or sun
can cause fuel to expand.
5. For all units with electric starting motors use electric starting extension cords certified CSA/UL. Use only with a receptacle that has been installed in accordance with local inspection authorities.
6. Adjust the snowthrower height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.
7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the en­gine (motor) is running (except when specifically recom­mended by manufacturer).

FILL GAS
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded regular, un­leaded premium, or reformulated automotive gasoline a­long with a fuel stabilizer (follow instructions on fuel stabilizer package). DO NOT use leaded gasoline. We recommend that fuel stabilizer be added to the fuel each time that gasoline is added to the fuel tank.
NOTE: Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility to improve starting. Be certain container is clean and free from rust or other foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale from long periods of storage in the container.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline containing any amount of alcohol as it can cause serious damage to the engine or significantly reduce the performance.
2. Check to make sure that spark plug is tightened securely into engine and spark plug wire is attached to spark plug. If torque wrench is available, torque plug to 18-23 ft-lbs.
WARNING: Gasoline is flammable. Always use caution when handling or storing gasoline. Do
not add gasoline to the fuel tank while snow­thrower is running, hot, or when snowthrower is in an enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical sparks and DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank completely; but fill the fuel tank to within 1/4-1/2 inch (6.5-12.5 mm) from the top to pro­vide space for the expansion of the fuel. Always fill fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spil­ling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before start­ing the engine. Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep the cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline in a cool well ventilated place; never in the house. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline to assure volatility. Gasoline Is intended to be used as a fuel for internal combustion engines; therefore, do not use gasoline for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gasoline, keep it out of their reach be­cause the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as be­ing explosive.

OPERATING TIPS
1. For optimum snowthrower efficiency, adjust ground speed, not the throttle. REMEMBER - if the wheels slip, forward speed will be reduced. The engine is designed to deliver optimum performance at full throttle and must be run at this power setting at all times.
2. Most efficient snowblowing is accomplished when snow is removed immediately after it falls.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath previously taken.
4. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever pos­sible.
5. For normal usage, set the skids one-eighth inch (3 mm) below the scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the skids may be adjusted upward to insure cleaning efficiency.
6. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see To Adjust Skid Height, in the MAINTENANCE section in this manual). Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.
7. After the snowblowing job has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice ac­cumulated on the engine.
8. Remove ice and snow accumulation from the entire snowthrower to prevent obstructions and possible dam­age when snowthrower is subsequently operated.
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. fill to “SAFE” indication prior to operating snowthrower.

AUGER HOUSING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
TO ADJUST SCRAPER BAR
After considerable use, the metal scraper bar will have a definite wear pattern. The scraper bar in conjunction with the skids should always be adjusted to allow one-eighth of an inch (3 mm) between the scraper bar and the sidewalk or area to be cleaned.
To adjust the scraper bar, proceed as follows:
1. Position the snowthrower on a level surface.
2. Loosen the carriage bolts and nuts securing the scraper bar to the auger housing.
3. Adjust the scraper bar to the proper position. Tighten the carriage bolts and nuts, insuring that the scraper bar is parallel with the working surface.
4. For extended operation, the scraper bar may be re­versed. If the scraper bar must be replaced because of wear, remove the carriage bolts and nuts and install a new scraper bar.
TO ADJUST SKID HEIGHT
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.
To adjust skids, proceed as follows:
1. Place a block (equal to height from ground desired) un­der scraper bar near but not under skid.
2. Loosen skid mounting nuts (Figure 26) and push the skid down until it touches the ground. Retighten mounting nuts.
3. Set skid on other side at same height.
NOTE: Make sure that snowthrower is set at same height on both sides.
WARNING: Be certain to maintain proper ground clearance for your particular area to be
cleared. Objects such as gravel, rocks or other debris, if struck by the impeller, may be thrown with sufficient force to cause personal injury, property dam­age or damage to the snowthrower.

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. To replace a broken shear bolt, proceed as follows:
WARNING: To insure safety and performance levels, only original replacement shear bolts should be used.
1. Move throttle to STOP, disengage all controls, discon­nect the spark plug lead wire, and insure all moving parts have stopped.
2. Lubricate the auger shaft zerk fittings (see Lubrication Points in the Maintenance section of this manual).
3. Align the hole in the auger with the hole in the auger shaft. Install new shear bolt, spacer and locknut found in the toolbox located on the belt cover (See Figure 50).
NOTE: The spacer fits into the larger hole in the auger tube.

TO ADJUST OR REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG
Check the spark plug every twenty-five (25) hours. Re- place the spark plug if the electrodes are pitted or burned or if the porcelain is cracked.
1. Clean spark plug and reset gap periodically.
2. Clean area around spark plug base before removal, to prevent dirt from entering engine.
3. Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted or burned or if porcelain is cracked.
4. Clean spark plug by carefully scraping electrodes (do not sandblast or use wire brush).
5. Be sure spark plug is clean and free of foreign material. Check electrodes gap with a wire feeler gauge and reset gap to 0.030” (0.76 mm) if necessary. If a new spark plug is needed, refer to Engine Repair Parts section of this manual for proper replacement spark plug.
6. Before installing spark plug, coat threads lightly with graphite grease to insure easy removal.

OFF SEASON STORAGE
WARNING: Never store the engine, with fuel in the tank, indoors or in a poor ventilated enclo-
sure where fuel fumes could reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc. Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and careless use could result In serious fire damage to your person and /or property. Drain fuel into approved containers outdoors, away from open flame.
If the snowthrower is to be stored for thirty (30) days or more at the end of the snow season, the following steps are recommended to prepare your snowthrower for storage.
NOTE: Gasoline must be removed or treated to prevent gum deposits from forming in the tank, filter, hose, and carburetor during storage.
1. To remove gasoline, run engine until tank is empty and engine stops.
If you do not want to remove the gasoline, add fuel stabilizer to any gasoline left in the tank to minimize gum deposits and acids. If the tank is almost empty, mix stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate container and add some to the tank. ALWAYS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON STABILIZER CONTAINER. THEN RUN ENGINE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AFTER STABILIZER IS ADDED TO ALLOW MIXTURE TO REACH CARBURETOR. STORE SNOWTHROWER IN SAFE PLACE.
2. You can help keep your engine (4-cycles only) in good operating condition by changing oil before storage.
3. Lubricating the piston/cylinder area. This can be done by first removing the spark plug and squirting clean engine oil into the spark plug hole. Then cover the spark plug hole with a rag to absorb oil spray. Next, rotate the engine by pulling the starter two or three times. Finally, reinstall spark plug and attach spark plug wire.
4. Thoroughly clean the snowthrower.
5. Lubricate all lubrication points (see “Lubrication“ in the Maintenance section).
6. Insure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fas­tened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage, breakage, and wear. Replace if necessary.
7. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
8. Cover the bare metal parts of the blower housing auger, and the impeller with rust preventative.
9. If possible, store your snowthrower indoors and cover it to give protection from dust and dirt.
10. On models with folding handles, loosen the fasteners that secure the upper handle. Rotate the upper handle back.
11. If the machine must be stored outdoors, block up the s­nowthrower and insure the entire machine is off the ground. Cover the snowthrower with a heavy tarpaulin.
REMOVING THE SNOWTHROWER FROM STORAGE
When removing the snowthrower from storage, follow the steps below.
1. Put the upper handle in the operating position, tighten the knobs that secure the upper handle.
2. Fill the fuel tank with a fresh fuel.
3. Check the spark plug. Make sure the gap is correct. If the spark plug is worn or damaged, replace before using.
4. Make sure all fasteners are tight.
5. Make sure all guards, shields, and covers are in place.
6. Make sure all adjustments are correct.
