1. Packed Snow--Shifts additional weight to the snow thrower housing to keep the front end down to the ground for hard-packed or icy snow con-

ditions.

2. Normal Snow--Weight isdistributed more evenly for normal snow removal.

Light Snow--Weight is shifted toward the back of

the snow thrower. Use this position when clearing a light snowfall, especially on gravel or uneven sur-

faces. This is also the best position for transport.

FIGURE 10. Discharge Chute--The direction snow is thrown can

be changed by turning the chute crank. See figure 10. Turn clockwise to discharge to the left, Turn

counterclockwise to discharge to the right. The distance

snow is thrown can be adjusted by raising the discharge

chute for greater distance, or lowering for less distance.

FIGURE 12.

Drive Wheels--The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods ofoperation.The adjustmentismade

by moving the "kwik" pin on the ends of the axle to one of two different positions.

t. DualWheel Drive--For heavy snow, insertthe kwik

pins into the wheel hubs for power drive to both

wheels. See figure 13.

NOTE: Oil level

must be between

FIGURE 13.

2. Single Wheel Drive--Remove the kwik pin from the wheel hub on one side of the unit, and place in the outside hole in the axle. See figure 14. This posi- tion allows power drive to one wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver during transport. If traction while throwing snow becomes a problem, place kwik pin in Dual Wheel Drive position.

Caution: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture which leads to separation and forma- tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid

engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied

before slorage for 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 section of this manual for additional infor-

marion.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

WARNING

Never fill fuel tank indoors, when engine is running or while engine is still hot.

Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to within !!4 to 1/2 inch from the

top to provide space for expansion of

fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting engine. Store gasoline in a clean, approved container.

FIGURE 14.

TO SERVICE ENGINE The engine on this snowthrower was shipped without

oil in the crankcase, Oil must be added before engine is started.

1, Position snow thrower so engine is level. Remove

oil fill cap and dipstick. See figure 15. Fill crankcase to FULL mark on dipstick (about 1-112 pints) with SAE 10W30 motor oil or equivalent. Do not overfill. Tighten fill cap and dipstick securely each time you check oit level. If temperature is con- sistently 20°F. or lower, SAE 5W30 motor oil may

be substituted.

2. Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free grade automotive gasoline.

3. Make certain the spark plug is tightened securely into engine, and spark plug wire is attached to

spark plug. If torque wrench is available, torque plug to between !8 and 23 foot pounds.

TO START ENGINE

1. Make certain the auger and traction drive clutch

levers are in the disengaged (released) position.

2. Move throttle control up to FAST postion. Insert ig-

nition key into slot. See figure 16. Be certain it snaps into place. Do not turn key.

3. Rotate choke knob to FULL choke position (cold engine start).

If engine iswarm, place choke in OFF position in-

stead of FULL.

4, Push primer button twoor three times. See figure

16. If engine is warm, push primer button once only.

Always cover vent hole in primer button with finger while pushing. Additional

priming may be necessary for the first

start if temperature is below 15°F.

Grasp starter handle (see figure 16) and pull rope out slowly, until it pulls slightly harder. Let rope re- wind slowly,

Pull starter handle rapidly. Do not allow handle to snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping

a firm hold on the starter handle.

Iml_ NOTE

If recoil starter is frozen and will not crank the engine, proceed as follows:

a. Pull as much rope out of the starter as

possible.

b. Release starter handle and let it snap

back against the starter. Only use the above procedure when necessary to free a frozen starter.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 until engine starts. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 4. 5 and 6 until engine

starts.

As engine warms up and begins to operate even- ly, rotate choke knob slowly to OFF position, If

engine falters, return to FULL choke, then slowly move to OFF position.

I_ NOTE

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes as the engine will not develop

full power until it reaches operating

temperature.

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, pro- ceed as follows. With engine running, pull starter

rope with a rapid, continuous lull arm stroke three or four times. Pulling the starter rope will produce

a loud clattering sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.

3. To stop engine, 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.

11_ NOTE

Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a sale place. Engine will riot start

without the ignition key.

4. 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. Move throttle control lever to FAST and leave in this posi-

t_on. Move choke control to FULL choke position.

OPERATING THE SNOW THROWER

1. Start the engine as instructed previously.

2. Adjust the discharge chute up or down as desired.

Then use the chute crank to positionthedischarge to discharge snow with the wind. Do not throw

snow toward a buildingas hidden objectscould be discharged with enough force to cause damage.

3, Make certain the weight transfer lever is position-

ed as necessary for current snow conditions,

IIIII

With the traction drive clutch lever released, use the speed select lever to set desired speed, Use

a slower ground speed for wet, heavy or deep snow. Reduce speed if the wheels slip. Operate

the engine at full throttle for maximum efficiency.

WARNING,I_ _

Be certain the traction drive clutch

lever is released before moving the speed select lever.

Making certain no bystanders or obstacles are in front of the unit, engage the auger drive clutch lever (located on left handle).

Engage the traction drive clutch lever, located on the right handle. As the snow thrower starts to

move, maintain a firm hold on the handle, and guide the snow thrower along the path to be

cleared. Do not attempt the push the snow thrower.

MAINTENANCE

To stop the forward motion, release the traction drive

clutch lever. Release the auger drive clutch lever to stop

the snow throwing action.

Operating Tips

1. Formostefficient snow removal, remove snow im- mediately 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 normal usage, The skid shoes may be adjusted up- ward for hard-packed snow. Adjustdownward (rais- ing the scraper bar) when using on gravel or

uneven surfaces.

4. Be certain to follow the precautions listed under

"To Stop Engine" on page 9 to prevent possible

freeze-up.

5. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

WARNING

Disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any

repairs or maintenance,
