4. Never allow adults to operate this machine without proper instruction.

5. Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury. Plan your snow-throwing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, bystanders and the like.

6. Keep bystanders, helpers, pets and children at least 75 feet from the machine while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

7. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse.

Preparation

1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all doormats, newspapers, sleds, boards, wires and other foreign objects, which could be tripped over or thrown by the auger/ impeller.

2. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.

3. Do not operate without wearing adequate winter outer garments. Do not wear jewelry, long scarves or other loose clothing, which could become entangled in moving parts. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

4. Use a grounded three-wire extension cord and receptacle for all units with electric start engines.

5. Adjust collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces.

6. Disengage all control levers before starting the engine.

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

8. Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperature before starting to clear snow.

9. To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes, which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

a. Use only an approved gasoline container. b. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and

other sources of ignition. c. Never fuel machine indoors. d. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the

engine is hot or running. e. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes

• Avoid possible starter freeze-up. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Never attempt to make any

adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in operator’s manual.

Shift Rod Adjustment

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to the figures to the right and adjust the shift rod as follows:

1. Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position and remove the hairpin clip which secures the ferrule to the shift lever.

2. Rotate the shift arm clockwise as far as it will go.

3. Thread the ferrule up or down the shift rod until it aligns with the hole in the shift lever. Resecure the ferrule with the hairpin clip removed earlier.

Auger Control

Refer to Auger Control Test on Page 11 to adjust the auger control.

Tire Pressure

• Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure to between 15 psi and 20 psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires,

the unit may pull to one side or the other.

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.

If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of adjustment. refer to the figure at the right and proceed as follows:

• Loosen the hex jam nut on the auger control cable “Z” fitting and rotate the coupling end of the cable downward to provide more slack or upward to take up slack. See Figure 2.

• Retighten the hex jam nut and repeat all three tests to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.

Figure 2

Skid Shoes (style varies by model)

The space between the skid shoes and the ground can be adjusted. See Figure 3.

• 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.

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.

Joy-Stick Cable Adjustment

If the chute assembly does not have full range from leftto-right, or upward-and-downward, the joy-stick cables can be adjusted to take up slack:

• Using a ½” wrench, loosen the upper and lower hex nuts found on one cable adjuster.

• Grasp the metal cable housing and gently push upward to take up slack (usually no more than 1/4inch) in the cable before retightening both hex nuts.

• Repeat on each of four cable adjusters until the chute assembly has full range in all directions.

1. a. Remove the frame cover from the underside

of the snow thrower by removing four selftapping screws which secure it.

b. Remove the right-hand wheel by removing

the screw and bell washer which secure it to the axle.

c. Locate the hex shaft and E-ring on the right

side of the snow thrower frame, about two inches from the wheel axle.

c. Using a suitable tool, carefully remove the

outer E-ring which secures the hex shaft to the snow thrower frame and lightly tap the shaft’s end to dislodge the ball bearing from the right side of the frame.

2. a. Slide the hex shaft downward and to the left

while carefully un-meshing the lower gears on the hex shaft from the upper gears on the

wheel axle. b. Set the hex shaft’s gears aside. c. Carefully remove the inner E-ring from the

hex shaft and slide the friction wheel

assembly off the hex shaft.

NOTE: If you’re replacing the friction wheel assembly

as a whole, discard the worn part and slide the new part onto the hex shaft. Follow the steps above in reverse order to reassemble components. If you’re disassembling the friction wheel and replacing only the rubber ring, proceed as follows:

3. Remove the four screws which secure the friction wheel’s side plates together.

• Remove the rubber ring from between the plates.

• Reassemble the side plates with a replacement rubber ring.

IMPORTANT:

before turning the wheel clockwise and proceeding with the next screw. Repeat this process several times to ensure the plates are secured with equal force.

• Slide the friction wheel assembly back onto the hex shaft and follow the steps above in reverse order to reassemble components.

Tighten each screw only one rotation

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 6.

• 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.

SECTION 7: OFF-SEASON STORAGE

IMPORTANT:

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.

NEVER replace the auger shear pins with

WARNING: Never store the machine or

fuel 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.
