2. Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from snowthrower and area of operation. Never allow children to operate the snowthrower. Adults should operate the snowthrower only after reading this manual. 3. Thoroughly inspect area thoroughly where snowthrower will be used. Remove doormats, sleds, boards, sticks, wire, and any other foreign objects which might be picked up and thrown by the snowthrower. 4. Keep all shields and safety devices in place.
B. Fill fuel tank outdoors, not indoors. NEVER ADD FUEL TO AN ENGINE THAT IS RUNNING OR HOT. Engine must be cool to reduce potential fire hazard. C. Open doors if engine will be started in the garage because exhaust fumes are dangerous and could possibly be deadly. Do not run engine indoors. D. Wipe up any spilled gasoline. Reinstall gasoline container cap and snowthrower fuel tank cap securely before starting the engine. While Operating 11.
23. Do not touch engine while it is running or soon after it is stopped because the engine will be hot enough to cause a burn. Do not add oil or check oil level in crankcase when engine is running. 24. Never operate snowthrower at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when backing. 25. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is transported or not in use. Maintaining Snowthrower 26. Perform only those maintenance instructions described in this manual.
BEFORE OPERATING Read and understand the contents of this manual before operating the snowthrower. Become familiar with all controls and know how to stop the engine quickly. CAUTION: IMPROPER USE MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF FINGERS, HANDS OR FEET. HIGH SPEED IMPELLER WITHIN 2 INCHES OF OPENING OPERATOR'S POSITION LOW SPEED AUGER HAS MOVING PINCH POINT, CLOSE TO OPENING.
Safety Decals and Instructions Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost. Decals with Tecumseh part numbers must be obtained from Tecumseh Products Company. Decals with Toro part numbers must be obtained from The Toro Company.

Assembly Note: Determine left and right sides of snowthrower by standing in the normal operating position. Install Handle 1. 2. 3. Remove tie straps securing control rods to handle. Install Speed Selector Rod 1. Pull speed selector arm (Fig. 6) to the fully “out” position and move speed selector (Fig. 19) on control panel to the R2 (REVERSE) position to ease assembly. 2. Rotate speed selector rod in trunnion (Fig. 7) until bottom end of rod can be slipped into hole in speed selector arm (Fig. 6).
three to four inches (Fig. 9). Readjust flange lock nut, if necessary, to obtain this dimension and then tighten flange lock nut securely. Install Discharge Chute (Fig. 12) Note: Install Auger/Impeller Drive Control Linkage 1. Thread a hex flange nut (flange side down) onto upper control rod located on right handle (Fig. 10). 2. Install lower link through outer hole in lower control rod (Fig. 10). 3. Insert upper control rod through loop in lower link control rod (Fig. 10). 4.
6. Check operation of discharge chute control (Fig. 19). Move worm gear slightly outward if binding is evident. Check Tire Pressure IMPORTANT: Check pressure of tires because they are over-inflated at the factory for shipping. Therefore, before the snowthrower is operated, reduce pressure in both tires to 7-15 psi equally. 6. Check Auger Gear Box Oil 1. Move snowthrower to a level surface. 2. Clean area around pipe plug so dirt is removed. 3. Remove pipe plug from gear box (Fig. 15). 4.
4. Slowly pour 26 ounces of SAE 5W–30 or SAE 10 oil into the filler hole. The engine uses any high–quality detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute (API) “service classification”—SF, SG or SH. Note: IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL, GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT. Dipstick must be fully installed to ensure accurate gauging of oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL. POUR OIL SLOWLY.
Operation Fuel Shut–Off Valve (Fig. 21)—Valve is located under fuel tank. Close valve to stop fuel flow from fuel tank and open valve to allow fuel to flow to the carburetor. Close valve when snowthrower is not in use. Controls Auger/Impeller Control Lever (Fig. 19)—Control has two positions: ENGAGE and DISENGAGE. To engage both auger and impeller, compress lever against right handgrip. To disengage, release lever. Traction Control Lever (Fig.
4. Open fuel shut–off valve below fuel tank (Fig. 21). 5. Rotate choke (Fig. 20) to ON 6. Insert ignition key (Fig. 20). 7. Cover hole in center of primer (Fig. 20) with thumb and push primer slowly three times. DO NOT PRIME IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING AND IS HOT. Note: 8. 9. position. IMPORTANT: Do not operate unit if auger and impeller rotate when auger/impeller control lever is not engaged. Excessive priming may cause flooding of engine and failure to start.
Free Wheeling Or Self–propelled Drive The snowthrower can be free wheeled or engaged for self–propelled operation. There are two holes in each end of the axle. When axle pins are through outer axle holes and not through wheel hub (Fig. 5), snowthrower free wheels. By contrast, when both pins are installed through holes in wheel hub and inner hole of axle (Fig. 5), snowthrower propels itself. Operating Tips 1. When snowthrower is not being used, close fuel shut–off valve and remove key from the switch. 2.
1. Pull wire off spark plug and make sure wire does not contact plug accidentally (Fig. 24). 2. Check the tire pressure in both tires. Make sure that they are inflated equally between 7-15 psi. 3. Move snowthrower to a level surface. 4. Loosen the (4) flange bolts securing both skids to the auger side plates (Fig. 16) until the skids can be slid up and down easily. 5. Next, loosen the carriage screws securing the scraper to the auger housing (Fig. 26). 6. Support the auger blades (Fig.
Maintenance POTENTIAL HAZARD • If you leave the wire on the spark plug, someone could accidentally start the engine. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Accidental starting of engine could seriously injure you or other bystanders. 3. Place a clean drain pan under fuel shut–off valve. 4. Loosen hose clamp securing fuel line to valve and slide line off valve (Fig. 21). 5. Open valve by rotating valve to the right. This allows fuel to flow into drain pan. 6. Reinstall fuel line and secure with hose clamp. 7.
Changing Crankcase Oil Initially, change oil after the first 2 hours of engine operation; thereafter, under normal conditions, change oil after every 25 hours of engine operation or annually, whichever comes first. If possible, run engine just before changing oil because warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants than cold oil. 1. 2. Pull wire off spark plug and make sure wire does not contact plug accidentally (Fig. 24). Clean area around oil drain plug.
Replacing Auger/Impeller Drive Belt 11. Make sure brake pad is properly installed on brake arm. Angled cut-off on brake pad must be positioned as shown in Figure 35. When auger/impeller drive belt (Fig. 33) becomes worn, oil–soaked or otherwise damaged, belt replacement is required. USE ONLY GENUINE TORO REPLACEMENT PARTS TO ENSURE BEST PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY. 12. Reinstall (2) screws that secure auger brake arm assembly. Make sure tabs fit into holes in left side of machine (Fig. 36).
1. Pull wire off spark plug and make sure it does not contact the plug accidentally (Fig. 24). 2. Remove (3) screws holding belt cover in place and set cover aside (Fig. 31). 3. Loosen auger brake arm assembly by loosening rear screw and removing front screw (Fig. 32). 4. Remove idler pulley spring (Fig. 32). Let brake arm assembly hang free but out of the way. 5. Remove (2) screws, (2) washers and (2) lock washers securing belt guide (Fig. 33). 6.
Adjusting Speed Selector 3. If there is slow or no ground speed in No.1 speed selection, or speed selector cannot be moved into No. 5 speed selection, an adjustment of the speed selector linkage is required. Set air gap between electrodes of new spark plug at 0.030” (0.76 mm) (Fig. 37). Next, install spark plug in cylinder head. Tighten plug to 15 ft–lb (20.4 N m). 4. Push the wire onto the spark plug. Pull wire off spark plug and make sure wire does not contact plug accidentally (Fig. 24).
