(c) Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill

fuel tank indoors.

(d) Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground, away from your vehicle,
before filling.

(e) When practical, remove gas-powered equipment

from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment
on a trailer with a portable container, rather than
from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

WARNING: Snow throwers have ex­ posed rotating parts, which can cause
severe injury from contact, or from ma­terial thrown from the discharge chute.
Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, small children and pets at all
times including startup.

CAUTION: Muffler and other engine
parts become extremely hot during
operation and remain hot after engine
has stopped. To avoid severe burns on
contact, stay away from these areas.

WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of
its con stit u ents, and certain vehicle
com po nents contain or emit chem i­cals known to the State of Cal i for nia
to cause can cer and birth defects or
oth er re pro duc tive harm.

(f) Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times, until refueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

(g) Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled

fuel.

(h) If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing im-

mediately.

5. Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by
the manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors
or electric starting motors.

6. Adjust the collector housing 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).

8. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during op­eration or while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown
from the machine.

9. Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.

Operation

1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or cross­ing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.

3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor),
remove the wire from the spark plug, disconnect the
cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect the snow
thrower for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snow thrower.

4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the oper­ating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller
housing or discharge chute, and when making any
repairs, adjustments or inspections.

2

6. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow
thrower, stop the engine and make certain the collector/
impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the
plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the
engine.

7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting
the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or
out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust
fumes are dangerous.

8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.

9. Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards,
and other safety protective devices in place and working.

10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas
where property damage can occur. Keep children and
others away.

11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting
to clear snow at too fast a rate.

12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds
on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
operating in reverse.

13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow
thrower is transported or not in use.

14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel
weights, counterweights, or cabs).

15. 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.

16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute

Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis­charge chute. To clear the chute:

1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!

2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.

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

Maintenance and Storage

1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.

2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside
a building where ignition sources are present such as
hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes dryers.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

3. Always refer to operator’s manual for important details
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.

4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.

5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.

OPERATION

TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 15)
NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be

used to adjust the skid plates.

Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal con di tions, such as a paved driveway or side walk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clear ance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.

NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower
over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property
dam age or damage to the snow thrower.

• If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted
to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.

1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2. Adjust skid plates by loosening the 1/2" hex nuts, then
moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure both
plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 16)

The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped from
the factory already filled with oil.

1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.

2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert
the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

• To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”
in the Main te nance sec tion of this manual.

ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 16)

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over­fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.

WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas o­ hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and for ma­ tion of acids dur ing storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied be fore stor age of
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See Storage In struc tions for ad di tion al
information. Never use engine or car bu re tor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or per ma nent
damage may occur.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

• Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to
adjust speed.

• It is easier and more efficient to remove snow im me­ di ate ly after it falls.

• The best time to remove snow is the early morning.
At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been
exposed to the direct sun and warming tem per a tures.

• Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.

• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.

• Ad just the skid plates to proper height for current snow
con di tions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this
section of this manual.

• For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow
removal by over lap ping previous path and moving
slowly.

• Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This
will help air flow and extend engine life.

• After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run
for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.

• Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.

WARNING: Do not operate snow
thrower if weather conditions im pair
visibility. Throwing snow dur ing a
heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you
and be hazardous to the safe operation
of the snow thrower.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL REC OM MEN DA TIONS

The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items
that have been sub ject ed to operator abuse or negligence.
To receive full value from the warranty, operator must
maintain snow thrower as in struct ed in this manual. Some
ad just ments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain your snow thrower.

All adjustments in the Service and Ad just ments section of
this manual should be checked at least once each season.

• Once a year, you should replace the spark plug and
check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help your
engine run better and last longer.

• Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the
unit to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.

BEFORE EACH USE

1. Check engine oil level.

2. Check for loose fasteners.

3. Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly.

LUBRICATION

Keep your snow thrower well lubricated
(See “LU BRI CA TION CHART”).

At the beginning of each season, or every 25 hours of
use, apply a small amount of white lithium grease to the
interlock bosses.

MAINTENANCE

SNOW THROWER

Always observe the safety rules when performing any
main te nance.

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14–17 PSI).

• Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due
to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your
local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot
and cor ro sion.

BELTS

Check belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours
of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not
ad just able. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear.
(See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual).

The belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion
and should be replaced by original equipment man u fac tur er
(OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to
the snow thrower.

AUGER GEAR CASE

• The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper level
at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs atten­tion is if service has been performed on the gear case.

• If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.

TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM

DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.

CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above com po­ nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.

ENGINE

See engine manual.

LUBRICATION

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SG–SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil
fill cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil
change. All oil must meet API service classification SG–SL.

• Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.

• Oil will drain more freely when warm.

• Catch oil in a suitable container.

NOTE: A wheel may be removed from snow thrower for
easier access to the oil drain plug and place ment of a
suitable container.

1. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug
wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come
in contact with spark plug.

2. Clean area around drain plug.

3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.

4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.

5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.

6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure
to install wheel pin and retainer pin into proper hole
in wheel axle (See “TO REMOVE WHEELS” in the
Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine.

8. Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see
“PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this man u al.

9. Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level.
Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate
reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.

10. Wipe off any spilled oil.

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could cre ate a
fire haz ard and/or dam age.

SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plug at the beginning of each season or after
every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Spark
plug type and gap setting are shown in the “PROD UCT
SPEC I FI CA TIONS” section of this manual.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep snow thrower

housing free of any dirt or trash. Clean the outside of your
snow thrower after each use.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least once
a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours in one year.

WARNING: Remove safety ignition key
and disconnect spark plug wire from
spark plug. Place wire where it can not
come in contact with spark plug.

• Keep finished surfaces/wheels free of gasoline, oil, etc.

• We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean
your snow thrower unless the electrical system, muffler
and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water
in engine can result in shortened engine life.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your snow thrower for storage at
the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30
days or more.

WARNING: Never store the snow
thrower with gaso line in the tank in side
a build ing where fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
fur nace, water heater, clothes dryer or
gas ap pli ance. Allow the engine to cool
be fore storing in any enclosure.

SNOW THROWER

When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,
clean it thor oughly, re move all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.
Store in a clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire snow thrower (See “CLEANING” in the
Main te nance section of this manual).

2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE­ PL ACE BELTS” in the Service and Adjustments sec tion
of this manual).

3. Lubricate as shown in the Main te nance sec tion of this
man u al.

4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely
fas tened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear. Replace if nec es sary.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.

ENGINE

See engine manual.

FUEL SYS TEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from

forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and car bu re tor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod ucts in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min­ i miz ing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 min utes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the
gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine
oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this
man ual).

CYLINDER

1. Remove spark plug.

2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole
into cylinder.

3. Pull recoil starter handle slowly a few times to dis trib ute
oil.

4. Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Remove safety ignition key; store it in a safe place.

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover
it to protect it from dust and dirt.

• Cover your snow thrower with a suitable pro tec tive
cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe, which allows con den sa tion to
form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/ex­haust area is still warm.
