Safety Rules * Disengage all clutches (release drive levers) before starting engine. WARNING This unit is a “two-stage” snowthrower. The first stage is the auger, which feeds the snow back into the impeller housing. The second stage is the impeller, which throws the snow out the discharge chute. If bodily contact is made with the auger or impeller when they are rotating, severe personal injury will occur.
Safety Rules l l l l Never operate machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when backing up. l Disengage auger drive when transporting or not in use. l Never operate the snowthrower without good vrstbrlrty or light. Always be sure of your footing. Safety warning decals are placed at strategic locations on the snowthrower as a constant reminder to the operator of the most important safety precautions.
Controls SNOWTHROWER CONTROLS (Figure 1) Ref Name A Auger Control Clutch Lever B Drive Control Clutch Lever C Chute Control Rod Chute Deflector D E Function Engages auger/impeller when depressed; disengages when released. Engages drive to wheels when depressed; disengages when released. Controls direction snow is thrown. Controls angle snow is thrown. Controls height of scraper bar. Skid Shoes i Figure 1.
DEFLECTOR The angle and distance of the discharged snow is controlled by the position of the deflector. Engine speed also affects distance of discharge. The more the deflector is tilted back, the farther snow will be thrown. Loosen the knob (figure 3) to tilt the deflector back or forward, then retighten the knob. SCRAPER BAR & SKID SHOES On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the scraper bar should scrape the surface.
Operation WARNING I Gasoline is highly Aflammable and must be handled GENERAL A with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is hot or runnmg. Always move outdoors to fill the tank. Keep snowthrower and gasoline away from open WARNING 1. flame .; spark. Before leaving the operator’s area for any reason, stop the engine and remove the key. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from the plug to prevent accidental start-up of the snowthrower. A 4 .
Operation 7. As the engine warms up and begins to operate evenly, turn the choke knob slowly counterclockwise to the OFF position. If engine falters, return to l/2 choke position until it runs smoothly, then turn it to the choke OFF position. NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before operating the snowthrower. Engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature. 8. Run the engine at or near top speed during snowthrower operation. OPERATING THE SNOWTHROWER 1.
Regular Maintenance NORMAL CARE I Check auger gear case lubrication.* Lubricate snowthrower. 1 Check tire pressure. Every 25 H o u r s See Paae Care Reauired I Page 8 . Paae9 . Paae I I 9 I I Check discharge control. l . Change engine oil.**+ Clean or replace spark plug.+ I Page 14 I 1 I . I 1 -a I * i I * The transmission and auger gear case have been factory lubricated for life. If lubricant should leak out, have transmission or auger gear case inspected by your dealer.
Regular- Maintenance LUBRICATION CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE A The air pressure in each tire should be 20 psi (136 kPa) and should be equal for both tires for best petiormance. Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent entry of moisture. CAUTION It is very important that grease fittings on auger shaft (figure 6) are lubricated regularly. If auger rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur if shear pins do not break. With an oil can, apply medium weight (IOW) oil to points A & i3 shown in figure 7.
A WARNING Before performing any adjustment or service to snowthrower, stop the engine and wait for moving parts to stop. Remove the key. To prevent accidental starting, disconnect the spark plug wire and fasten away from the plug. 4. Broken belt. Replace belt. 5. Shear pin broken. Replace pin. Auger rotates, but snow not thrown far enough. 1. Spout deflector too low. Adjust deflector as necessary. 2. Engine speed too slow. Set to full throttle.
SHIFT CONTROL ADJUSTMENT If any of the following conditions exist, it will be necessary to adjust the shift control. l Snowthrower is not in neutral when shift lever is in NEUTRAL position. l Reverse position cannot be fully reached. l 3rd gear cannot be fully reached. Adjust as follows: 1. Locate neutral position of shift lever by moving unit back and forth with traction lever engaged. Unit will move easily when in neutral. 2. Leave shift lever in position where neutral was obtained. 3.
Adjusting Drive Belts If the auger or wheels slip under load, belts could be stretched or worn. Adjust as follows: Englne PUIIOY 01 dr;ve bel; 1. Remove the belt cover (figure 10). Determine which belt requires adjustment. \ 2. Loosen the locknut on the appropriate idler pulley and move the idler pulley i/4” toward the belt (figure 11). Tighten the locknut. 3. Re-install the belt cover. 4. Determine if additional adjustment is required by trying the unit. Repeat step 1 - 3 if necessary.
A CAUTION Place a block (approximately 4” high) under front edge of auger housing or snowthrower will not stand on end. 6. See figure 13. Loosen nuts holding lower belt guard and slide guard away from belt. 7. Remove belt from between large pulleys. 13. Slide new belt onto pulley and position lower belt guard to within l/16” - i/8” of large drive pulley. Tighten nuts securing lower belt guard. 9. Return snowthrower to upright operating position. 10. Place new belt onto engine pulley. 11.
WHEEL AXLE BEARING REPLACEMENT After approximately 100 hours of use (about 5 years), or if drive chain jumps off sprockets, wheel axle bearings may need to be replaced. 1. Disconnect spark plug wire and fasten it away from the spark plug. 2. Place a block under the snowthrower so the wheels are just off the ground. 3. See figure 16. Remove the ring pin and wheel from each axle. 4. Slide off the washers and long spacer.
