manual abstract
Adjust the right and left skid shoes equally. Retighten the nuts securely. Operation on rough or uneven surfaces with less than the recommended auger ground clearance can damage the snowblower. Loosen all the nuts holding the scraper, and adjust the scraper to the specified ground clearance. Retighten the nuts securely. Inspect the scraper. Replace the scraper if it is excessively worn. 3.

The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your snowblower’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use the snowblower again. Apply grease to the following areas for lubrication. After the snowblower has dried, touch up any damaged paint. Rinse the auger housing and wheels (or tracks) with a garden hose. Wipe the rest of the snowblower with a moist rag. 1. 2. 3. STORAG E Fuel Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your snowblower deteriorates during storage. you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced. The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage/temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank. The Distributor’sLimitedWarrantydoes not cover fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation. You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor. STORAGE AddingaFuelStabilizertoExtendFuelStorageLife When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the caruburetor. Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. STORAGE Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor 1. Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel. 2. Loosen the carburetor drain knob, DRAIN KNOB then move the fuel valve lever to the ON position. Drain the carburetor until the fuel tank is empty. Wipe up spills immediately. Handle fuel only outdoors. Keep heat, sparks, and flames away. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. 3. After draining, tighten the drain knob and turn the fuel valve OFF. 4. Remove the fuel sediment cup. 5. Empty the contents into a suitable container. Clean the fuel sediment cup. 6. Reinstall the sediment cup and O-ring and tighten securely. O-RING SEDIMENT CUP .. 56 STORAGE Engine Oil Tires STARTER GRIP Change the engine oil (page ). Remove the spark plug (page ). Pour a tablespoon (5 10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly several times to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug. Check the air pressure (page ). Pull the starter grip slowly until you feel resistance, then return the starter grip gently. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine cylinder. 4. 5. 1. 2. 3. 6. 41 45 48 STORAG E STORAGE PRECAUTIONS If your snowblower will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated. If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust and corrosion. Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve in the OFF position to reduce the possibi...
