1. Installing the Upper Handle 4 Handle bolts 4 Curved washers 4 Locknuts 2. Installing the Wheel Clutch Cable Ends Procedure 1. Unwrap the cable ends from the lower handle (Figure 5). Procedure Note: Do not remove the rubber band on the cables until you have installed the upper handle. 1. Lift and rotate the upper handle and position it over the lower handle (Figure 3).
Important: Ensure that the curved side of the cable clamp is against the handle and that the cable is routed below the clamp bolt. The cable must be in a straight line from the cable clamp to the point where it attaches to the wheel clutch lever. 4. Pull the cable jacket down gently until the wheel clutch lever is down and the slack is out of the cable, then tighten the cable clamp nut securely (Figure 8). Figure 10 2.
6. Lift up on the speed control rod and insert the trunnion into the hole in the speed selector lever (Figure 11). Note: If the trunnion does not fit into the hole when you lift up on the speed control rod, rotate the trunnion upward or downward on the speed control rod until it fits. 7. Secure the trunnion and upper end of the speed control rod with the outer washer and a hairpin cotter you previously removed.
6. Filling the Engine with Oil Procedure Your snowthrower comes with 26 oz. of oil in the engine. Note: Before starting the engine, check the oil level and add oil if necessary. Figure 16 1. Cable clip Max. fill: 26 oz. (0.77 l), type: automotive detergent oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. 2. Deflector cable 7. Hold the blue trigger cap down and rotate the Quick Stick in a circle to ensure that the chute and deflector operate smoothly.
8. Checking the Skids 5. Move the speed selector to the Position 1; refer to Operating the Speed Selector. Procedure 6. Squeeze the left hand (traction) lever to the hand-grip (Figure 19). Refer to Checking and Adjusting the Skids in Maintenance. The snowthrower should move forward. If the snowthrower does not move or moves rearward, complete the following: 9. Checking the Traction Drive Operation A. Release the traction lever and stop the engine. B.
Product Overview Figure 22 1. Snow cleanout tool (attached to the handle) Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Filling the Fuel Tank Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others. Figure 20 1. Auger/impeller lever 2. Speed selector lever 3.

Figure 26 4. Rotate the choke to the On position (Figure 27). Figure 23 Starting the Engine 1. Connect the spark plug wire (Figure 24). Figure 27 5. Insert the ignition key (Figure 28). Figure 24 Figure 28 2. Move the throttle to the Fast position (Figure 25). 6. Firmly push in the primer 3 times with your thumb, holding the primer in for a second before releasing it each time (Figure 29). Figure 25 Figure 29 3. Rotate the fuel shutoff valve counterclockwise to open it (Figure 26).
Note: Priming excessively may flood the engine and prevent it from starting. 7. Start the snowthrower using the recoil starter or the electric starter (Figure 21). Important: To prevent damaging the electric starter, run it no more than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off. If the engine does not start after this series of attempts, allow the starter to cool for at least 40 minutes before trying to start it again.
Using the Wheel Clutch Levers Operating the Speed Selector The wheel clutch levers allow you to momentarily disengage the drive to one or both wheels with the traction drive lever still engaged. This enables you to turn and maneuver the snowthrower easily. The speed selector has 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. To change speeds, release the traction lever and shift the speed selector lever to the desired position (Figure 35). The lever locks in a notch at each speed selection.
• If the chute does not move, refer to Adjusting the Discharge Chute Latch. • If the chute does not turn as far to the left as it does to the right, ensure that the cable is routed to the inside of the handles. Refer to Installing the Upper Handle. • If the chute does not lock into place when you release the trigger cap, refer to Adjusting the Discharge Chute Latch. If the auger and impeller continue to rotate when you release the auger/impeller lever, you could seriously injure yourself or others.
Preventing Freeze-up • In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty operating any control or part, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. The rotor blades can throw stones, toys, and other foreign objects and cause serious personal injury to the operator or to bystanders. • After using the snowthrower, let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 2 hours • Inspect the traction cable and adjust it if necessary. • Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust it if necessary. • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • Check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
Checking the Engine Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary. 1. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, then fully install the dipstick. Figure 42 1. Skid 2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 41). If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil. Refer to Filling the Engine with Oil. 4.
Checking and Adjusting the Traction Cable Checking and Adjusting the Auger/Impeller Cable Service Interval: After the first 2 hours—Inspect the traction cable and adjust it if necessary. Yearly—Inspect the traction cable and adjust or replace it if necessary. Service Interval: After the first 2 hours—Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust it if necessary. Yearly—Inspect the auger/impeller cable and adjust or replace it if necessary.
5. If the oil level is low, add GL-5 or GL-6, SAE 85-95 EP transmission oil to the gearbox until the point of overflow. Note: Do not use synthetic oil. 6. Install the pipe plug in the gearbox. Changing the Engine Oil Service Interval: After the first 2 hours Yearly If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil because warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
