manual abstract
Use SAE 5W30 engine oil only. FILL OIL This snow thrower was shipped with a container of 5W30 oil. This oil must be added to the engine before starting. For extreme cold operating conditions of 0° F or below, use a partial synthetic 0W30 motor oil for easier starting. NOTE: In areas where temperature is consistently at 2CP F or lower, you may use 0W30 motor oil for easier starting. • Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick. • Pour the oil and fill the crankcase to line (Full) on dipstick (19 ounces). See figure 17. • Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick securely. NOTE: Engine may already contain some residual oil. Check frequently when filling the crankcase. Do not overfill. NOTE: Oil must be changed after the first two (2) hours of operation to extend engine life. FILL GAS A WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and caution must be used when handling or storing it. Do not fill fuel tank while snow thrower is running, when it is hot or when snow thrower is in an enclosed area. Keep away from open flame or an electrical spark and do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the tank to within 1/4"-1/2" from the top to provide space for expansion of fuel. Always fill fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine. 12 Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep the cap in place on the container. • Make sure that the container from which you pour the gasoline is clean and free from rust or other foreign particles. • Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade automotive gasoline. See figure 17. • At the end of the job, empty the fuel tank if the snow thrower is not going to be used for 30 days or longer. See Storage instructions in this manual. FIGURE 17 CAUTION: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol) or those using ethanol or methanol can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage 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. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. TO START ENGINE (ELECTRIC STARTER) Make sure that the engine has sufficient oil. The snow thrower engine is equipped with a 120 volt A.C. electric starter and recoil starter. The electric starter is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug, and is designed to operate on 120 volt AC household current. Follow all instructions carefully. COLD START NOTE: If unit shows any sign of motion (drive or augers) with the clutch grips disengaged, shut engine off immediately Readjust as instructed in the “Final Adjustments” section of the Assembly Instructions. A WARNING: The electric starter must be properly grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock which may be injurious to the operator. • Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain. • If your house wiring system is grounded and a three-hole receptacle is not available at the point the snow thrower starter will normally be used, one should be installed by a licensed electrician. A WARNING: If your house wiring system is not a three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric starter under any conditions. • When connecting the power cord, always connect cord to starter on engine first, then plug the other end into a three-hole grounded receptacle. • When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug the end from the three-hole grounded receptacle first. • Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. • Make sure that the auger drive and the traction drive levers are in the disengaged RELEASED position. • Move throttle control lever to FAST position. • Remove the keys from the plastic bag. Push key into the ignition slot. Make sure it snaps into place. DO NOT TURN KEY. Keep the second key in a safe place. • 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. • Push the primer button while covering the vent hole as follows: (Remove finger from primer button between primes.) Do not prime if temperature is above 50° F. Prime two times if temperature is between 50° F and 15° F. Prime four times if 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 restarted only when it has cooled to a safe temperature (a wait of about ...
