accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
6. Never use the snowblower under the influence of alcohol or
medication, or if you are tired or ill.
Preparation For Use
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and
other foreign objects.
2. Disengage all clutch handles before starting the motor.
3. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate
winter garments. Wear footwear which will improve footing
on slippery surfaces.
4. Adjust the auger housing height to clear gravel or crushed
rock surface.
5. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine
is running (except where specifically recommended in the
manual).
6. Let engine and machine adjust to outdoor temperatures
before starting to clear snow.
7. The operation of any powered machine can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields during operation, or while performing
an adjustment or repair.
Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid severe injury or property damage use high levels of care
while handling gasoline. Gasoline is an extremely flammable
substance and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury
can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes,
which can ignite. If you come into contact with gasoline, wash
affected areas of skin and change clothing immediately.
1. Use only an approved gasoline container.
2. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition prior to working with or near gasoline.
3. Never refuel machine within closed spaces.
4. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or
running.
5. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
6. Do not over fill fuel tank. Keep fuel level at least ½ inch below
bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion.
7. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
8. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
Move machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting
the engine.
9. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there
is an open flame, spark or pilot light (e.g. furnace, water
heater, space heater, clothes dryer etc.).
10. Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
11. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
12. If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
13. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Do not use gas cans with nozzle lock-open devices.
Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep
clear of the discharge opening at all times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove
the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the snowblower for
any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the snowblower.

4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine
and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble. Vibration typically indicates a mechanical
problem has occurred.
5. Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position,
before unclogging the auger housing or discharge guide, and
when making any repairs, adjustments,
or inspections.
6. Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing any parts of
the snowblower ensure the auger has stopped moving.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the
plug to prevent accidental starting.
7. Before leaving the machine unattended, disengage all control
levers, stop the engine and remove the safety key.

9. Do not clear snow across the face of slopes. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to
clear steep slopes.
10. Never operate the snowblower without proper guards, plates
or other safety protective devices in place.
11. Never operate the snowblower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, window wells, etc., without proper adjustment
of the snow discharge angle. Keep children and pets away.
12. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear
snow at too fast a rate.
13. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Use care when reversing.
14. Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front
of the unit.
15. Disengage power to the impeller when snowblower is
transported or not in use.
16. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the
manufacturer of snowblower (such as wheel weights,
counterweights, cabs, etc.).
17. Never operate the snowblower without good visibility or light.
Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the
handles. Walk; never run.
18. Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine
unattended. Remove the engine safety key.
19. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment
is in safe working condition;
20. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety; Use only genuine
replacement parts and accessories.
21. This snowblower is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
22. Be careful while working on the machine or clearing a
blockage in the auger or impeller to ensure that fingers and
hands do not become crushed or cut.
23. Do not touch hot engine components like the muffler, muffler
guard or engine block during operation of the snowblower as
they will cause burns.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute
is the most common cause of injury associated with snowblowers.
Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped
rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool. DO NOT use your hands.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Check shear bolts, engine mounted bolts, etc., at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to sure the equipment is in safe,
working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside
a building where ignition sources are present such as hot
water heaters, space heaters, clothes dryers or any open
flame sources. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3. Always refer to owner’s guide instructions for important
details if the snowblower is to be stored for an extended
period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as
necessary.
5. Run the snowblower for one minute to clear out packed snow

Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
–Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
–Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
–Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
–Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
–In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is
not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
–Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
When adding or removing gasoline:
Turn the snowblower off and let it cool for at least two minutes
before removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the snowblower at the gas
station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the
snowblower.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the snowblower:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged snowblower.
Make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines
and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting to start
the engine.
Make certain that the snowblower is resting firmly on level ground.
When operating the snowblower:
DO NOT tip the snowblower or allow fuel or oil to spill.
When transporting or servicing the snowblower:
Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position, the gasoline
tank is empty.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the snowblower:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other
sources of ignition.
Do not store snowblower or gasoline near furnaces, water heaters,
or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic
ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel
item that is damaged or appears damaged.

ASSEMBLY
Your snowblower requires some assembly. This unit ships from our
factory without oil. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil
before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
snowblower, call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999.
Please have your serial number and model number available.
Unpacking
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the snowblower
base — including upper and lower handles, wheels,
connecting levers, chute, hardware, etc. Make sure all the
assembly parts are included before you start.
3. Lift the top half of the box off and the base should be clear to
start assembly.
4. Cut down the bottom carton to allow a flat surface area to
install the assembly parts without scratching parts or cutting
tires. Alternatively, with team lift help, lift the base of the
snowblower out of the carton and place it on a flattened
carton to start assembly.
Lower Handle
1. Attach the lower handle (1-1) onto the unit body with bolts
(1-2, 1-3) and washers (1-4) (Fig. 1). Repeat on the other side.
NOTICE
Discharge chute bracket mounting hole should be on the left
side from the back of the snowblower.

Figure 1
Wheel
1. Slide the left wheel (2-1) onto axle (2-2) as the arrow shows.
Tread pattern should face forward. Place axle pin (2-3) into
wheel. The axle has a center hole to attach the wheel to the
axle (which connects to the drive train). Once inserted, fold
ring around axle to hold in place (Fig. 2).

Figure 2
2. Repeat on right side. Tread pattern should face forward.
NOTICE
Only the left axle has two holes, and the axle pin can be
removed and repositioned. If the wheel is slid further in on the
axle with the pin inserted into the outside hole of the axle, the
machine will move freely without the engine on. If the pin is
inserted into the inside hole of the axle, the machine will only
move when the drive control is engaged when the engine is on.
It is optional to slide one wheel past the pin hole in the axle
and to place the locking pin into the axle outside the wheel
without locking it into the drive axle. This creates a pivot wheel
that allows the operator to more easily turn the snowblower
during use by using the “free wheel” as a pivot point. Though
this makes turning easier, it decreases drive wheel traction by
50%.

NOTICE
The cables are preset by the factory. If you need to adjust
see ADJUSTING SELF-DRIVE CONTROL HANDLE CABLES or
ADJUSTING AUGER CONTROL CABLE for correct adjustments.
NOTICE
In the process of operation, if the auger or drive control handle
is too loose, screw the bolt of part A to get a natural tension
station for the wire.
Check the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. You
want to make sure that the tension on the lower side of the
snowblower has 1⁄4-3⁄8in. (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. If the
slack is greater than 5⁄8in. (16 mm), please adjust. Proper
tension is important because you will want your snowblower to
move forward properly in heavy snowfalls.
