engine to prevent inadvertent starng. This
step should be taken as a precauon
whenever you are working on this machine.
IMPORTANT! The snow blower belts are adjusted
to ensure the augers/impeller stop turning within
ve (5) seconds of releasing the impeller control
lever. If you are making any belt adjustments
whatsoever, for your safety and the safety of
others around you, you must ensure the belts are
re-adjusted to achieve this design specicaon.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE. FUEL LEAKS, A LOOSE FUEL TANK,
OR A LOOSE FUEL VALVE CAN LEAD TO
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT OPERATE
THIS SNOW BLOWER IF ANY COMPONENT OF
THE FUEL SYSTEM IS LOOSE OR LEAKS
GASOLINE!
Clearing A Clogged Chute—Safety Precauons
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait at least 10 seconds to be sure the augers
have stopped rotang.
3. Remove and ground the spark plug when

Step 2: Direconal Discharge Chute
1. Fit the black plasc round spacer onto impeller
housing before installing chute. Apply light coat of
grease onto spacer.
2. Install the bolts for the retainer brackets with the
plasc spacer between the chute and the steel
retaining tabs.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. If the bracket is too ght the
chute will not move properly. Ensure there is enough
space between the impeller housing and the bracket on all
sides so that the chute rotates smoothly.

1. Locate the connecon: The chute rotaon cable connecon is located at
the base of the discharge chute between the engine and the discharge chute.
2. Slide the threaded end of the connector down
the cable in order to easily see the end of the cable
connecon. The center secon should be about
3/4” to 1” beyond the end of the cable.
NOTE: There is nothing wrong if the end of the cen-
ter secon of the cable protrudes more than about
3/4” to 1” beyond the end of the cable.
The center secon can be easily pushed back into
the cable.
3. Align the center secon with the cable chute rotator. The end
of the center secon is square and requires proper alignment in
order to correctly connect to the machine.
4. Press the cable toward the chute rotator screw. The end of
the cable should touch the end of the chute rotator.
If the surfaces do not contact, connue to apply pressure and
slowly rotate the discharge chute direcon handle on the control
panel so the center of the cable aligns itself on both ends.
5. Slide the threaded end from Step 2 toward the chute rotator,
and thread the end onto the chute rotator.
IMPORTANT: Finger ghten rmly. Inspect before each use to make certain
the connecon doesn’t loosen during operaon of the machine.

Step 5: Dri Cuers (if desired)
1. The dri cuers are aached to the main hous-
ing in the stored posion.
2. Remove the two bolts on each dri cuer.
3. Reaach the dri cuers in the operang posi-
on.
4. Replace bolts and secure ghtly.
Step 6: Skid Shoes
1. Skid shoes are stored in the hardware bag for shipping.
2. Remove from hardware bag, and install skid shoes using the
provided fasteners
3. Insert the fasteners so the at head of the carriage bolt is
toward the inside of the main housing.
CAUTION: Check the skids to ensure that the auger does not
contact the paved or gravel surface. Adjust skids as necessary to
make up for wear on the snow blower.
Posion skid shoes so that the scraper blade is elevated at least
1/4” from the ground. This allows easier maneuvering and
prevents drag on the snow blower when encountering unseen
imperfecons on the surface to be cleaned.
1. Check the re pressure to ensure the res are properly
inated.
2. Move skid shoes up and down to the desired posion based
on the surface texture.
 If the surface is rougher adjust the skid shoes lower which
increases the auger ground clearance.
 If the surfaces is smoother adjust the skid shoes higher
(decrease ground clearance). Firmly ghten the nuts that
secure both skids to the auger sides.

Step 7: Auger and Transmission Control Cables
Control cables are preset at the factory, but may require addional adjustment for opmal operaon. Control
cables require periodic inspecon and maintenance to maintain opmal performance.
1. Locate the black cable on the right side (standing from the operator posion) of the snow blower. Ensure the
cable is properly seated in the plasc guide pulley at the rear of the chassis.
2. Aach the cable to the threaded end under the drive control handle. The cable adjustment tube with Z rod may
need to be aached to the boom of the handle.
3. Screw clockwise to secure unl all threads are engaged in the adjustment tube. Tighten lock nuts when correct
tension is achieved.
4. The drive and impeller cables will be at correct tension when the cables are properly aached to the handles
and the cable has a 1 inch deecon to either side when pushed with a nger as shown.
Repeat the same process for the Auger/Impeller engagement cable on the le side of the snow blower.

Control Interlock Feature—One Hand Free Operaon
The snow blower is equipped with a control interlock feature to allow the operator one hand free to change the
direcon of the discharge or adjust the discharge deector without stopping the forward progress of the machine.
The interlock feature allows the operator’s le hand to be free during use aer both handles are fully engaged into the
operang posion. The fee hand can then rotate the discharge chute or adjust the discharge deector angle.
In order to stop the impeller / collector assembly and the transmission system, BOTH handles must be released.
The impeller control handle can be fully engaged, and the transmission lever can be engaged and disengaged without
releasing the impeller control handle (free to engage or disengage at any me). This allows the impeller / collector
assembly to connue to discharge snow while stopping to change speeds or allow the snow blower to clear the impeller
and collector housing of snow and ice when encountering heavy snowfalls.
WARNING
The operator of the snow blower should become familiar with this feature in a clear open area away from vehicles,
homes, and away from public streets or areas with trac.
Make certain that the operator is accustomed to all controls and the interlock feature before blowing snow.
