SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR SNOW
THROWERS
TRAINING
1. Read the Owner’s guide instruction manual
carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and proper use of the equipment.
Know how to stop the unit and disengage the
controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate equipment.
Never allow adults to operate equipment
without proper instructions.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, especially 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 door
mats, sleds, boards, wires and other foreign
objects.
2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral
before starting engine.
3. Do not operate equipment without wearing
adequate winter outer garments. Wear
footwear which will improve footing on
slippery surfaces.
4. Handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
(A) Use approved fuel container.
(B) Never add fuel to a running engine or hot
engine.
(C) Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care.
Never fill fuel tank indoors.
(D) Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe
up spilled fuel.
5. Use a grounded three wire plug-in for all units
with electric drive motors or electric starting
motors.
6. Adjust collector housing height to clear gravel
or crushed rock surface.
7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while
engine is running (except where specifically
recommended by manufacturer).
8. Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor
temperature before starting to clear snow.
OPERATION
1. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
Keep clear of discharge opening at all times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on
or crossing a gravel drive, walks, or roads.
Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not
carry passengers.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the
engine, remove wire from spark plug,
thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any
damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snow thrower.
4. If the snow thrower should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
5. Stop engine whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the collector/
impeller housing or discharge guide, and
making any repairs, adjustments, or inspec
tions.
6. Take all possible precautions when leaving
the vehicle unattended. Disengage the power
take-off, lower the attachment, shift into
neutral, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and remove the key.
7. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting make
certain collector/impeller, and all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect spark plug
wire and keep away from plug to prevent
accidental starting.
8. Do not run engine indoors, except when
starting engine and for transporting snow
thrower in or out of building. Open doors.
Exhaust fumes are dangerous.
9. Do not clear snow across the face of slopes.
Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear
steep slopes.
10. Never operate snow thrower without guards,
plates, or other safety protection devices in
place.
11. Never operate snow thrower near glass
enclosure, automobiles, window wells, drop
off, etc. without proper adjustments of snow
thrower discharge angle. Keep children and
pets away.
12. Do not overload machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
13. Never operate machine at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when
backing.
14. Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow
anyone in front of unit.
15. Disengage power to collector/impeller when
transporting or not in use.
16. Use only attachments and accessories
approved by the manufacturer of snow
thrower (such as wheel weights, counter
weights, cabs, etc.).
17. Never operate the snow thrower without good
visibility or light. Always be sure of your
footing and keep a firm hold on the handles.
Walk, never run.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts,
etc. at frequent intervals for proper tightness
to be sure equipment is in safe working
condition.
2. Never store machine with fuel in the fuel tank
Inside a building where open flame or spark
are present. Allow engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
3. Always refer to owner's guide instructions for
important details if snow thrower is to be
stored for an extended period.
4. Run machine a few minutes after throwing
snow to prevent freeze up of collector/
impeller.

J WARNIN^
Never run engine indoors or in en
closed poorly vented area. Engine
exhaust gases contain carbon mon
oxide: an odorless and deadly gas.
7. Start engine, following appropriate instruc
tions:
A. Cold engine start (engine has not been run
recently)
1. Pull choke wire out to “ON” position.
See figure 29.
FIGURE 30.
3. Grasp the starter rope handle and pull
out rapidly. Return rope handle slowly.
Repeat until engine starts. If engine
fails to start, repeat steps 2 and 3 as
necessary until engine starts.
4. After engine starts, push choke wire in
gradually (to “OFF” position).
B. Warm engine start (engine still warm from
recent running)
1. Grasp the starter rope handle and pull
out rapidly. Return rope handle slowly.
Repeat until engine starts.
2. If engine fails to start after a number of
attempts, pull choke wire out. Repeat
step one until engine starts. After
engine starts, push choke wire in
gradually.

ADJUSTMENTS
^ WARNING J
NEVER attempt to clean chute or
make any adjustments while engine
is running.
CHUTE ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. The
sharper the angle, the shorter the distance snow
is thrown.
NOTE
Run engine for a few minutes before
stopping to help dry off any mois
ture which may have accumulated
on the recoil starter.
1. Move throttle control lever to “STOP” posi
tion.
2. Turn ignition key to “OFF” position.
3. Remove ignition key to prevent accidental
starting.
A
Disconnect spark plug wire from
spark plug and secure it so that
it cannot accidentally contact spark
plug. This will reduce the possibility
of unauthorized starting of engine
while equipment is unattended.
TO ENGAGE DRIVE
CAUTION
To adjust chute assembly, loosen the hand knob.
Pivot the top of the chute assembly to position
desired. Retighten the hand knob.
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place
skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high
position when area to be cleared is uneven. See
figure 32.
To adjust skid shoes, loosen the four hex nuts and
carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired
position. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
1. With the engine running near top speed, move
shift lever into forward (F) or reverse (R)
position. (If the lever does not shift easily,
move the unit back and forth to align gears as
you shift the lever.)
2. Squeeze the drive clutch grip (located on the
right handle) and the snow thrower will move.
Release it and the drive motion will stop.
CAUTION
A
NEVER move shift lever without first
releasing the drive clutch.

MAINTENANCE
SHAVE PLATE AND SKID SHOES
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of
the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should
be checked periodically and replaced when
necessary.
To remove shave plate, remove the csrriage bolts,
lock washers and hex nuts which attach it to the
snow thrower housing. Reassemble new shave
plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are
to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely.
To remove skid shoes, remove the four carriage
bolts, belleville washers and hex nuts which
attach them to the snow thrower. Reassemble
new skid shoes with the four carriage bolts,
belleville washers (cupped side goes against skid
shoes) and hex nuts.
