4. Twist the new starter wires and insert them all the way

into the contact openings (Fig. 8).

5. Install the switch, the switch wires, and the AC

connector into the switch housing base.
Note: Ensure that the slots in the AC connector fit into

the matching cutout in the base (Fig. 7).

6. Route the starter wires between the switch and the

inside of the screw boss, then out through the serrated
cord opening in the switch housing base (Figs. 7
and 9).

7. Carefully push the starter wires down between the

switch and the screw boss with a blunt object (Figs. 7
and 9).

Important Be careful not to pinch your finger in the

pinion stop or pinion cup when you install the new starter
motor.

3. Install and tighten the upper and lower starter motor

mounting bolts (Figs. 5 and 6).

4. Install the bottom cover back into its original position

above the axle (Fig. 6).

Mounting the Switch Assembly, Control
Panel, and the Shrouds

1. Return the snowthrower to its upright position.

2. Install the R-clamp onto the new starter wires (Fig. 4).

Important Route the starter wires between the switch

and the inside of the screw boss in the switch housing
base. This prevents the screw from cutting into the
insulation and/or wires when you install the switch
assembly to the control panel.

8. Ensure that the end of the outer insulation is at least

3/16 in. (5 mm) from the inside edge of the serrated
cord opening in the switch housing base (Fig. 9).

4. Route the starter wires over the top of the fuel tank

and install the switch assembly to the control panel
with the 3 long self-tapping screws (Fig. 1).

5. Fasten the lower shroud and the control panel to the

lower handle with the 2 hex-head screws and curved
washers (Fig. 1).

6. Fasten the upper shroud assembly to the frame with

the 2 Phillips screws, 4 flat washers, and 2 locknuts
(Fig. 1).

Installing the Discharge Chute

Fasten the discharge chute to the chute gear ring using the
3 carriage bolts and locknuts (Fig. 3).

Installing the Chute Crank Assembly

1. Insert the chute crank assembly through the hole in the

upper shroud, ensuring that the end of the crank
assembly seats correctly in the face gear (Fig. 2).

2. Fasten the chute crank support to the lower handle

with 2 hex-head bolts and locknuts (Fig. 2).

9. Snap the switch housing cover back onto the switch
housing base (Fig. 7).

Installing the New Starter Motor

1. Hold the bottom cover down and insert the new starter
motor up through the frame.

Note: Position the motor so that the housing mount
contacts the mating surfaces on the engine.

2. Push gently on the pinion stop as necessary and insert
the pinion into the pinion cup (Fig. 6).

Completing the Installation

1. Install the fuel tank cap.

2. Connect the wire to the spark plug.

3. Install the control nameplate onto the control panel

(Fig. 1).
Note: Ensure that the control nameplate fits over the

flanges on the upper and lower shrouds, then install
and tighten the control nameplate with 3 short
self-tapping screws.

4. Insert the key in the switch.
