DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal words used to identify the level of hazard. However, regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful. Before Operating 1. Read and understand the contents of this manual before operating the snowthrower. Become familiar with all controls and know how to stop engine and snowthrower quickly. 2. Never allow children to operate the snowthrower. Adults should operate the snowthrower only after reading this manual. 3.
11. Fill fuel tank with gasoline before starting the engine. Avoid spilling any gasoline. Because gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE HANDLING GASOLINE. A. Use an approved gasoline container. 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.
24. 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. 25. Never operate snowthrower at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when backing. Maintaining Snowthrower 26. Perform only those maintenance instructions described in this manual. Shut engine off before performing any maintenance service or adjustment.
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.

Assembly Install Shift Rod (Fig. 5) 1. Note: Determine left and right sides of snowthrower by standing in the normal operating position. Insert upper shift rod ball joint stud through front of shift bracket and secure with 3/8–24 locknut. Note: Mount Auger Housing 1. Remove (2) flange head capscrews securing idler pulley assembly to engine frame. Remove idler pulley assembly. 2. Align auger housing and engine frame mounting holes (Fig. 2). 3. Route impeller belt around impeller pulley. 4.
4. Make sure chute rotates freely on ring. If chute binds, move right hand retainer outward to ease operation. 4. Install Chute Control Gear (Fig. 7) 1. Insert the 5/16–18 x 1” lg. carriage bolt into gear bracket mounting hole. 2. Position worm gear into bracket, align holes and insert chute gear rod through bracket and gear. 3. Loosely mount worm gear and bracket to mounting flange with carriage bolt, flat washer, and locknut. 4. 5.
Before Starting ENGINES WHICH ARE CERTIFIED TO COMPLY WITH CALIFORNIA AND U.S. EPA EMISSION REGULATIONS FOR ULGE ENGINES: Are certified to operate on regular unleaded gasoline. Include the following emission control system(s): EM, TWC (if so equipped); Do not include any user adjustable features – therefore no other adjustments are needed. Fill Fuel Tank With Gasoline POTENTIAL HAZARD • In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
the engine during operation and prevents gum–like varnish deposits from forming in the engine during periods of storage. Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR FUEL STABILIZATION DURING STORAGE SUCH AS TORO’S STABILIZER/CONDITIONER OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT. TORO’S STABILIZER/CONDITIONER IS A PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED CONDITIONER/STABILIZER.
Starting/Stopping Engine 7. Starting Note: If engine is operated when temperature is +40_ F (4_ C) or higher, remove carburetor heater box. However, the heater box (Fig. 18) must be reinstalled when temperature falls below +40_ F (4_ C). To remove heater box: A. Remove (2) mounting screws securing heater box in place. Grasp choke knob and pull it off mounting pin. B. Note: 8. Lift heater box up and away from the engine, and reinstall choke knob on mounting pin.
Power Shift Operation Snowthrowing Tips Wheels will shift forward (or rearward) with every other movement of the shift control. 1. When snowthrower is not being used, close fuel shut–off valve and remove key from the switch. 2. Remove snow as soon as possible after it falls. This produces best snow removal results. 3. When in the rear Power Shift position, push down on handles to increase traction if necessary. 4.
POTENTIAL HAZARD • Rotating impeller or auger can cut off or injure fingers or hands. 6. Support the auger blades so that the auger is 1/8 – 1/4 inch off the ground. 7. Move the scraper so that it contacts the flat surface all the way across, then tighten the two rear flanged cap screws securing scraper and skids to the side plates. This temporarily locks the scraper in the proper position so that the remainder of the fasteners can be tightened without affecting adjustment. 8.
6. Move the skids down to sit flat on the ground and tighten the (4) flange bolts securing both skids to the auger side plates. POTENTIAL HAZARD • Gasoline is highly flammable. WHAT CAN HAPPEN For Gravel Surfaces • Gasoline can be ignited and cause serious personal injury. For gravel or crushed rock surfaces, adjust the skids to prevent picking up rocks. 1. Pull wire off spark plug and make sure wire does not contact plug accidentally. 2.
3. After all oil is drained, reinstall oil drain cap securely. 4. Position snowthrower on a level surface. Next, fill crankcase with oil: see Fill Crankcase With Oil, page 10. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled. 3. CHECKING IMPELLER CABLE ADJUSTMENT—Depress the auger/impeller control lever on the right hand grip. Hold the lever and insert a .010” (.25 mm) feeler gauge between a coil in the center of the spring (Fig. 24). Adjust the cable to achieve .010” (.25 mm) gap between the coils. 4.
Adjusting Traction Drive Belt (Fig. 25) If the wheels do not turn when the traction lever is depressed, the traction belt tension should be increased. Whenever the belt is replaced, an adjustment is required. 1. 2. Loosen upper jam nut securing traction cable to mounting bracket. Remove capscrew and lockwasher securing half sheave to front of pulley assembly. 6. Slide half sheave and auger/impeller belt off crankshaft and remove belt from impeller pulley. 7.
Adjusting Drive Chain (Fig. 28–30) The drive chain must be adjusted to maintain 1/8–3/8 of an inch deflection mid span between transmission and axle sprocket. Check chain deflection after every 25 hours of operation. 1. Pull wire off spark plug and make sure wire does not contact plug accidentally (Fig. 31). 2. Make sure wheels are positioned in rear position, move shift control into 2nd gear, and tip snowthrower up onto front edge of auger housing.
• Stop engine, allow it to cool, and drain fuel tank or run engine until it stops. • Restart the engine again and run it until it stops. • Either choke or prime the engine, restart it a third time and run engine until it will not restart. • Dispose of fuel properly. Recycle per local codes. • DO NOT store STABILIZED gasoline over 90 days. 2. Remove spark plug from cylinder head. Next, pour two teaspoons of engine oil into spark plug hole in cylinder head.
