to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.

AugerControl

Refer to AugerControlTeston Page 11 to adjust the auger
control.

SkidShoes

The space between the skid shoes and the ground can
be adjusted. See Figure 4.

• For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise
skid shoes higher on the auger housing.

• Use a middle or lower position when the area to be

cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.

,i_ CAUTION: Loose gravel can be picked up

and thrown by the auger, causing injury to the
operator and bystanders and/or damage to
the snow thrower and surrounding property.

• Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
(two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid
shoes to desired position.

• Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe
is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the

skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

ChuteBracketAdjustment

If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control
is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute
bracket can be adjusted. To do so, loosen the two nuts
which secure the chute bracket and reposition it slightly
before retightening the nuts. See Figure 5.

Augers

• The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two

shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike
a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the pins may shear.

Refer to Figure 7.

• If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins
have sheared. One set of replacement shear pins
has been provided with the snow thrower. When
replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into shaft
before inserting new pins.

IMPORTANT:NEVER replace the auger shear pins with
anything other than OEM Part No.738-04124
replacement shear pins. Any damage to the auger
gearbox or other components as a result of failing to do
so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower's
warranty.

SECTION7: OFF-SEASONSTORAGE

WARNING: Never store the machine orfuel container indoors where there is an open

flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.

,_ WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved

container outdoors, away from open flame.
Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition
prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for
extended period deteriorates and will cause
serious starting problems.

If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage
as follows:

• Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to
prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts

and causing possible malfunction of engine.

• Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine
stops due to lack of fuel.

• Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain,
located below the carburetor cover.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizers, such as STA-BIL®, are an

acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Do not drain
carburetor if using a fuel stabilizer.

• Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.

• Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine
oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover
spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several
times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

• Follow the lubrication recommendations found in
the Maintenance Section.

• Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.
When storing any type of power equipment in an

unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be

taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or

silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains,
springs, bearings and cables.
