Electric Starter: (If Equipped)
WARNING: The electric starter is
equipped with a three-wire power cord
andplug,andisdesignedtooperateon
120 volt AC household current. It must
be properly grounded at all times to
avoid the possibility of electric shock
which may cause injury to the operator.
Follow all instructions carefully. Determine that your
house wiring is a three wire grounded system. Ask a
licensed electrician if you are not certain. If your
house wiring system is not a three-wire grounded
system, do not use this electric starter under any
conditions. If your system is grounded and a threehole receptacle is not available at the point your
starter will normally be used, one should be installed
by a licensed electrician.
When connecting the power cord, always connect
cord to starter on engine first, then plug the other
end into a three-hole grounded receptacle.
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug
the end from the three-hole grounded receptacle
first.
1. Rotate choke knob to OFF position. Do not
prime engine.
2. Connect power cord to switch box on engine.
Plug the other end of power cord into a threehole, grounded 12-volt AC receptacle.
3. Push starter button to crank engine. See Figure
18. As you crank the engine, move choke knob
to FULL choke position. (cold engine start)
4. When engine starts, release starter button, and
move choke gradually to OFF. If engine falters,
move choke immediately to FULL and then gradually to OFF.
TO STOP ENGINE
1. Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.
2. To help prevent possible freeze up of starter,
proceed as follows.
• Electric Starter: Connect power cord to
switch box on engine, then to 120 volt AC
receptacle. With the engine running, push
starter button and spin the starter for several
seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the starter will not harm engine or starter.
Disconnect the power cord from receptacle
first, and then from switch box.
• Recoil Starter: With engine running, pull
starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm
stroke two or three times. Pulling the starter
rope will produce a loud clattering sound,
which is not harmful to the engine or starter.
3. To stop engine, move throttle control to “stop” or
“off” position.
4. Remove the ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting while equipment is
unattended.
NOTE: Do not lose the ignition key. Keep it in a
safe place.Engine will not start without the ignition
key.
5. Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the control levers. Also,
move control levers back and forth several
times.
TO ENGAGE DRIVE
1. With the engine running near top speed, move
shift lever into one of the five FORWARD positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed
appropriate for the snow conditions that exist.
Use the slower speeds until you are familiar with
the operation of the snow thrower.
12
2. Squeeze the auger control and the augers will
turn. Release it and the augers will stop.
3. Squeeze the traction control and the snow
thrower will move. Release it and drive motion
will stop.
4. NEVER move shift lever without releasing traction control.
TO ENGAGE AUGERS
To engage the augers and start the snow throwing
action, squeeze the auger control against the left
handle. Release to stop the augers.
TIRE CHAINS (Optional Equipment)
If your unit is not equipped with tire chains, you may
purchase them. Tire chains should be used whenever extra traction is needed.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few min-
utes as the engine will not develop full power until it
reaches operating temperature.
WARNING: Temperature of muffler
and surrounding areas may exceed 150
degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid these areas.
1. For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
2. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
3. Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for

SECTION 7: ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: NEVER attempt to clean
chute or make any adjustments while
engine is running. Refer to label in Figure 2 in safety section.
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. See Figure 19.
To adjust chute assembly, loosen the hand knob.
Pivot the top of the chute assembly to position
desired. Retighten the hand knob.
AUGER CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the auger control, refer to FINAL ADJUSTMENT section of Assembly Instructions.
SHIFT ROD ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the shift rod, separate the shift rod and ferrule from the shift lever by removing the hairpin clip
and flat washer from the ferrule underneath the handle panel. Refer to Figure 11. Adjust as specified in
the Assembly Instructions.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: If any adjustments are
made to the engine while the engine is
running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of
all moving parts. Be careful of heated
surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load.

TRACTION CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Refer to the FINAL ADJUSTMENT section of the
AssemblyInstructionsto adjustthe tractioncontrol. If
you are uncertain that you have reached the correct
adjustment, the adjustment can be physically
checked as follows.
With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain the oil and gasoline or drain the oil and place
plastic film under the gas cap if the snow thrower
has already been operated), remove the frame cover
underneath the snow thrower by removing six selftapping screws.
With the traction control released, there must be
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive
plate in all positions of the shift lever. With the traction control engaged, the friction wheel must contact
the drive plate. See Figure 20.

If adjustment is necessary, loosen the hex jam nut
on the traction control cable and thread the cable in
or out as necessary. Tighten the hex jam nut to
secure the cable when correct adjustment is
reached. Reassemble the frame cover.
NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it.
DRIVE WHEELS
The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods of operation. The adjustment is made by placing
the klick pins in one oftwo different holes on the right
side of the unit. See Figure 21.
1. One Wheel Driving- Placeklickpinintheoutside axle hole on the right side. This position
gives power drive to the left wheel only, making
the unit easier to maneuver.
2. Both Wheels Driving- Rotate wheel assembly
toalignholeinhubwithinnerholeonaxleshaft.

SECTION 9: SERVICE
AUGERS
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft withtwo
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 23. If you
hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the hex bolts will shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts
have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex
lock nuts have been provided with the snow thrower.
For future use, order part number 710-0890A (shear
bolt 5/16-18 x 1.5") and 712-0429 (hex lock nut
5/16-18).
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 skid shoes, remove the four carriage
bolts, bellwashers and hexnuts which attach themto
the snow thrower. Reassemble new skid shoes with
the four carriage bolts, bell washers (cupped side
goes against skid shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain
the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts,
bell 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
