Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in operator’s manual.

Drive Control

When the drive control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight. Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:

1. With the drive control released, push the snow thrower gently forward. The unit should roll freely.

2. Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The unit should not roll freely.

3. With the drive control released, move the shift lever back and forth between the R2 position and the F6 position several times. There should be no resistance in the shift lever.

4. If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:

5. Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket, Figure 5-2.

6. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to increase cable tension).

7. Retighten the hex nut.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so:

Figure 5-1

Figure 5-2

1. Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute assembly.

2. Pivot the chute upward or downward before retight

ening the wing knob, Figure 5-3.

Figure 5-3

Page 13

Skid Shoes

The space between the skid shoes and the ground can be adjusted, Figure 5-4.

• 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.

To adjust the skid shoes:

1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position.

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

3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Chute Bracket

Adjustment

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:

1. Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and reposition it slightly, Figure 5-5.

2. Retightening the nuts.

Tire Pressure

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure to between 15 psi and 20 psi. If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other.

Making

Adjustments

WARNING

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.

If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, or if it is the end of the snow season when the last possibility of snow is gone, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructions below to ensure top performance from the snow thrower for many more years.

Off-Season

Storage

WARNING

Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance.

Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.

Preparing Engine

NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for more detailed information on preparing the snow thrower engine for storage.

Short-Term Storage

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during short-term storage (15-30 days). To prevent this, treat the fuel system using a fuel stabilizer.

Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL™ or ULTRA-FRESH™) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

WARNING: Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may

reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance.

CAUTION: 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.

Preparing Snow Thrower

• When storing the snow thrower in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables.

• Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.

• Follow lubrication recommendations.

• Store equipment in a clean, dry area.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Long-Term Storage

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer.

WARNING: Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.

1. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.

WARNING: Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

2. Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with a rag and crank the engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace spark plug.
