HOW TO SET UP YOUR SNOW
THROWER (See III.3)
TO SET THE SKID HEIGHT
●For packing, the height adjust skids were mounted
on the inside of auger housing with the bottom lip
turned inward and the mounting hardware on the
inside. Remove skid mounting nuts (III.3) and re-
mount on outside of auger housing with lip outward,
and mounting hardware to the outside as shown in
III.3.
●Toadjustskidheightfordifferent conditions, referto
the Service and Adjustment section.
IF YOU ARE REMOVING SNOW FROM
ANY ROCKY OR UNEVEN SURFACES,
RAISE THE FRONT OF THE SNOW
THROWER BY MOVING THE SKIDS
DOWN. THIS WILL HELP TO PREVENT
ROCKS AND OTHER DEBRIS FROM BE-
ING PICKED UP AND THROWN BY THE
AUGER.

OPERATION
HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW
THROWER
TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE
●Turn thecrank assembly to set the directionof the
snow throwing.
●Loosen the wing knob on the chute deflector and
move the deflector to set the distance. Move the
deflector UP for more distance, DOWN for less
distance. Then tighten the wing knob (See III 10).
TO STOP YOUR SNOW THROWER
●To stop throwing snow, release the auger clutch
lever (See III 12).
●Tostopthewheels,releasethetractionclutchlever.
●Tostoptheengine, pushthethrottlecontrollever to
off and pull out the ignition key (See III 11).
TO MOVE FORWARD AND
BACKWARD
●To shift, release the traction clutch lever and move
the speed shifter lever to the speed you desire.
Ground speed is determined by snow conditions.
Select the speed you desire by moving the speed
shifterleverintotheappropriatecoloredareaonthe
control panel.
Red - Wet, Heavy, Slushy, Extra Deep
Amber - Moderate
White - Very Light
Green - Transport only
●Engage the traction clutch lever (See III 12, left
hand). As the snow thrower starts to move, main-
tain a firm hold on the handles, and guide the snow
thrower along the clearing path. Do not attempt to
push the snow thrower.
●This unit is equipped with a single hand control
feature. This will allow the operator to hold both
engaged levers with one hand thus freeing other
hand.
●To activate single hand control feature:
●Push down on both levers to engaged positon.
●Once engaged either hand may be removed from
levers. Bothlevers will remain engaged aslong as
one is held down.
●Todisengagesinglehandcontroloperationrelease

●Before you service or start the engine, familiarize
yourself with the snow thrower. Be sure you under-
stand the function and location of all controls.
NOTE:Checktensionof clutch cablesbeforestartingthe
engine.(SeeTo AdjustThe ControlCables paragraph
intheService &Adjustmentssection ofthismanual).
●Be sure that all fasteners are tight.
●Make sure the height adjust skids are properly ad-
justed (See To Adjust Skid Height paragraph in
theService&Adjustmentssectionofthismanual).
●Check tire pressure (14 to 17 pounds). Do not
exceed maximum amount of pressure.
FILL OIL:
The engine on this snow thrower was shipped without
oil. 5W30 oil is included with this unit and must be added
to the engine before operating. Remove the oil fill cap/
dipstick and fill the crank case to "FULL" line on dipstick
(See III.15) with S.A.E. 5W-30 motor oil (or equivalent).

OPERATION
FILL GAS:
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade auto-
motive gasoline. Be sure that the container you pour the
gasoline from is clean and free from rust or other foreign
particles.Neverusegasolinethat maybestale fromlong
periods of storage in the container.
NOTE: S.A.E. 5W-30 motor oil may be used to make
starting easier in areas where temperature is consis-
tently 20°F. or lower.
WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels(calledgasoholorthoseusingethanolormetha-
nol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and

the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Start the
engineand let it run until thefuellinesandcarburetorare
empty. Use the carburetor bowl drain to empty residual
gasoline from the float chamber (III 33). Use fresh fuel
next season (See Storage section in this manual for
additional information).
TO STOP ENGINE
●To stop engine, move the throttle control lever to
"STOP" position and remove key. Keep the key in a
safe place. The engine will not start without the key.
TO START ENGINE (Electric Starter)
Be sure that the engine has sufficient oil. The snow
thrower engine is equipped with a 120 volt A.C. electric
starter and recoil starter. Before starting the engine, be
certain that you have read the following information:
COLD START (See III.9)
●Besure the augerdrive andtraction drivelevers are
in the disengaged "RELEASED" position.
●Move the throttle control up to "FAST" position.
●Push the key into the ignition slot. Be sure it snaps
into place. Do not turn the key. Remove the plastic
bag and extra key.
●Rotate the choke knob to "FULL" choke position.
●Connect the power cord to the switch box on the
engine.
●Plug the other end of the power cord into a three
hole, grounded 120 volt A.C. receptacle.
●Press the primer button two or three times while
keeping your finger over the vent hole on the primer
button. Additional priming may be necessary for the
first start if the temperature is below 15°F.
●Push down on the starter button until the engine
starts. Do not crank for more than 10 seconds at a
time. This electric starter is thermally protected. If
overheated it will stop automatically and can be
