To assemble the Sno-Away, the following steps should
be followed:
1. Fasten the Handle Assembly to the
Frame Assem, as shown in Fig. 1, using
the (3) 5/16" x 7/8 cap-screws & 5/16"
lockwashers & the 5/16" x 1-1/2 cap¬
screw & 5/16 lockwasher. Pull up on
handles and tighten screws while holding
in this position.
2. The Throttle Cable Assembly is coiled around the
engine for shipping purposes. Uncoil the cable and
attach to the Control Housing Assembly. Install the
Cable Clamp on the Left Hand Handle approximately
5" above the frame. See Fig. 2.
3. A ssemble the Shift Rod Assembly to the Shift Yoke
on the transmission using the 1/4" x 1" hardened cap¬
screw and locknut. Tighten until there is no side play
but so rod is free to pivot. See Fig. 3.
4. A ttach the Clutch Rod Assembly to the Clutch Auger
Rod Assembly using the 1/4" x 1" hardened capscrew
and the 1/4" locknut. Tighten until there is no side-
play but so rod is free to pivot. See Fig. 3.
5. R emove the back cover (AR, page 8) by removing
the (3) self tapping screws. Insert the wire extension
through the spring on the Pivot Assembly. See Fig. 4.
Install wire extension through upper left corner of back
cover. Replace back cover.

6. Install both the spring extension and the wire ex¬
tension through the wire clamp and fasten with the
10-24 x 3/8" round head screw. Remove slack from
both wires and tighten.
7, Attach the Spout Control Cable as shown on Pge.12
Insert the lower end of the Spout Control Rod in the

1. Before attempting to start the engine or to oper¬
ate the Sno-Away, refer to the engine manufacturers
Owners Manual for the proper fuel and oil.
2. Be sure petcock under gas tank is open. Follow
engine instructions to prepare engine for operation.
3. Disengage auger. Place shift lever in neutral.
4. Move throttle control lever to 1/2 throttle.
5. Put choke lever in “Choke” position.
6. Pull re-coil starter rope to start engine.
1. Engage auger control lever.
2. Shift transmission lever to Hi or Lo as desired.
3. Squeeze Touch-O-Matic Control Handle to start
machine 1 in motion. When operating in heavy snow
drifts, machine may be slowed down by slipping clutch
(Touch-O-Matic Handle) to avoid choking out engine.
4. To operate the Sno-Away in reverse, release the
Touch-O-Matic Control Handle and shift into reverse
gear, then squeeze Touch-O-Matic Control Hnadlefor
reverse motion.
5. When using the Sno-Away, adjust the discharge
spout so that the snow will be thrown with the wind
and never into the wind. Throwing snow into the wind
will be a source of discomfort to the operator. To
alter the direction of discharge, rotate the spout by
means of the Spout Adjust Handle. The distance that
the snow may be thrown may be adjusted by loosening
the two wing nuts on the Discharge Spout Extension and
raising or lowering the extension to give the desired
angle. After adjusting, push the extension snugly
against the Spout Assembly to prevent snow from being
blown backwards against the engine and operator. Slot¬
ted holes beneath the wing nuts will allow this to be
done. Before tightening the wing nuts to hold the
extension in the desired position.
6. If unit creeps after releasing the Touch-O-Matic
Control Handle, Idler Pulleymay be adjusted to remove
belt tension, further adjustment may be obtained by
removing washers under the engine base to lower
engine.
7. If one of the wheels slip while blowing snow,
pressure should be applied to the handle on that side.
In extreme slippery conditions tire chains are recom¬
mended.! -
8. The Auger Control should be released immediately
if an object becomes lodged or hit by the Auger.
9. All controls are positioned at the handles for the
operators safety.
10. After completion of plowing operation, allow the
engine to operate in a sheltered area for about 5 min. to
dry itself and prevent the formation of ice. When
possible, store the Sno-Away in a cold area so that
clinging snow will not melt and refreeze into ice.
11. T he following points should be followed when
storing unit during off season.
1. Run engine to drain Fuel Tank, (old gas
leaves deposits)
2. Lubricate bare metal to prevent rust.
3. Change engine oil - recommend use type
10W-30W.
LUBRICATION
1. There is one grease fitting on this Sno-Away
(See Fig. 6i). Lubricate with a general purpose auto¬
motive type grease every 15 hours of operation.
Also the occasional application of light motor oil as
indicated on Figs. 1, & 6j. will assist in operation of
this Sno-Away.
2. Use of 10W30 automotive type motor oil is
recommended for use in the transmission and auger
worm drive in this Sno-Away.
3. Oil should be maintained to the proper level,
under normal condition there is no need to drain
and refill during the season.
4. The filler plug on the transmission is located at
the rear of the unit on the top of the transmission.
The transmission should be filled to the level of the
oil level plug which is located on the right side of the
transmission. (See Fig. 6 ) The drain plug is locat¬
ed at the bottom of the transmission.
5. The Auger Worm Drive Housing oil level should
be kept level with the pipe plug hole located in the
front of the housing.
TIRE PRESSURE
Ten (10) lbs of tire pressure is recommended.
ADJUSTMENTS
1. Check to insure that the engine pulley belt guard
(AH, page 8) does not touch the belts when they are
in the engaged position.
2. Check to insure that the belt guards (M, page 8)
on the idler pulleys do not touch the belts when in the
engaged position.
3. Check to insure that the belt stop (BG, page 8) in¬
stalled on the side of the transmission assembly has
a clearance of 1/16" when belt is engaged.
4. The left and right hand shoe assemblies should
be adjusted for your specific needs (Sno-Away should
be raised when using on gravel). See Fig. 1.
5

5. B elt Tension for the Rotor Drive is regulated by this adjustment when the rotor clutch is engaged. Re
the position of the set collar on the Rotor Clutch Rod. fer to Fig. 3.
Normally a clearance of 3/4" between the set collar
and top bracket will properly tension this belt. Check
FIGURE 6
SAFE SNOW REMOVAL IS NO ACCIDENT
Improper use of snow removal equipment on the part of the operator can result in injury.
To reduce this possibility, give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand.
Protect Yourself and Others By Following These Safety Tips
1. Disengage power and stop motor before cleaning discharge, removing obstacles,
making adjustments, or when leaving operating position.
2. Never direct discharge at bystanders nor allow anyone in front of machine — debris
may be hidden in the snow.
3. Keep children and pets a safe distance away.
4. Do not allow children to operate machine nor allow adults to operate it without proper
instructions.
5. Adjust height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.
6. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating in reverse.
7. Know the controls and how to stop quickly — read the owner’s manual.
8. Handle gasoline with care — it is highly flammable.
a. Use approved gasoline container.
b. Never add gasoline to a running motor — fill tank out of doors and wipe up spilled
gasoline.
c. Replace gasoline cap securely.
d. Open doors if motor is run in garage — exhaust gases are dangerous
9. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting motor. Keep hands, feet
and clothing away from power driven parts.
10. Use a grounded three wire extension cord for all plug-in electric units.
11. Keep machine in good operating condition and keep safety devices in place.
