OPERATION

Clean-Out Tool

WARNING

Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut off engine

and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before

using the clean-out tool to clear the chute assembly.

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger housing

with a mounting clip. Should snow and ice become lodged in the chute assembly

during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the chute assembly and chute

opening:

1. Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control.

2. Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.

3. Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the rear of the

auger housing.

4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to dislodge and scoop any

snow and ice which has formed in and near the chute assembly.

5. Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger

housing, reinsert the ignition key and start the snow thrower’s engine.

6. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage

the auger control for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice from

the chute assembly.

Before Starting Engine

WARNING

Read, understand, and follow all instructions and warnings on the

machine and in this manual before operating.

Oil

The unit was shipped with oil in the engine. Check oil level before each operation to

ensure adequate oil in the engine.

NOTE: Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine stopped.

1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean.

2. Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do NOT screw it in.

3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil (5W-30,

with a minimum classification of SF/SG) until oil level registers between high

(H) and low (L).

NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may result in engine smoking, hard

starting or spark plug fouling.

4. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.

Gasoline

Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combustion chamber

deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol or 15%

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture

or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85

gasoline.

• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or

allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where

gasoline is stored.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed

properly and securely.

• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may

ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the

engine.

• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.

WARNING

Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely

flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine indoors or

while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and

other sources of ignition.

1. Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel.

2. A fuel level indicator is located in the fuel tank. See Figure 15 inset. Be

careful not to overfill. Fill tank until fuel reaches the fuel level indicator to

allow space for fuel expansion.

Starting The Engine

WARNING

Always keep hands and feet clear of moving parts. Do not use a pressurized

starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after starting. The engine will

not develop full power until it reaches operating temperatures.

1. Make certain both the auger control and drive control are in the disengaged

(released) position.

2. Insert key into slot. Make sure it snaps into place. Do not attempt to turn the

key.

NOTE: The engine cannot start without the key fully inserted into the

ignition switch.

Electric Starter

WARNING

The electric starter is equipped with a grounded three-wire power plug,

and is designed to operate on 120 volt AC household current. It must be

used with a properly grounded three-prong receptacle at all times to avoid

the possibility of electric shock. Follow all instructions carefully prior to

operating the electric starter. DO NOT use electric starter in the rain.

Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire grounded system. Ask a licensed

electrician if you are not certain.

If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle, proceed as follows. If you do not

have the proper house wiring, DO NOT use the electric starter under any conditions.

1. Plug an extension cord into the outlet located on the engine’s surface. Plug

the other end of extension cord into a three-prong 120-volt, grounded, AC

outlet in a well-ventilated area.

CAUTION

The extension cord can be any length, but must be rated for 15 amps at

125 volts, grounded and rated for outdoor use.
