The second stage is the impeller, which throws the snow out the discharge chute. If bodily contact is made with the auger or impeller when they are rotating, severe personal injury will occur. To avoid injury, keep others and yourself away from the auger and the discharge chute whenever the engine is running. Read and follow all of the safety rules and warnings in this manual. DANGER Do not clean out discharge chute with hands. Contact with moving parts inside chute will cause serious injury. Use clean out tool provided with machine. Use the following procedure to remove objects or clear the chute: 1. Stop the engine. Remove the key 2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger/impeller blades have stopped rotating. 3. Always use the clean-out tool. DO NOT use your hands. WARNING For your safety, operation on slopes should be in an up and down direction only. If it becomes necessary to move across the face of a slope, use caution and do not blow snow. Be very careful when changing direction on a slope. Proper winter footwear is recommended for the operator to help prevent slipping. Never attempt to clean snow from excessively steep slopes. The maximum slope for any operation is 17.7% (10.). WARNING Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is hot or running. Always move outdoors to fill the tank. Keep snowthrower and gasoline away from open flame or spark. 10 Operation STARTING CONTROLS See Figure 1for the following instructions. Units with Optional Electric Start A. Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter handle. The Electric Start Button operates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by connection to the extension cord provided with units equipped with this feature. Connect this extension cord ONLY to a properly grounded 3 prong electrical outlet. Manual Start B. Fuel Valve - The fuel valve (B) is located under the fuel tank. It is used to turn the fuel supply off for out- of-season storage. C. Starter Handle - The starter handle (C) connects to a starter cord to manually start the engine. Pulling starter handle rapidly spins the engine crankshaft, cycles the engine, and generates the spark necessary for starting the engine. D. Primer Button - When pressed, the primer button (D) provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine. Normally, pressing the primer button twice will provide enough fuel to start a cold engine. E. Throttle Lever - The throttle lever (E) controls the engine speed. For best overall performance, the throttle lever should be set to the FAST position. Use the SLOW position only for warming the engine, or to help prevent snow/ice freeze-up when shutting the unit down for the day. F. Engine Key - The engine key (F) prevents the engine from being started by unauthorized individuals. The key must be fully inserted into the key slot for the unit to start. The key is also used to stop the engine by pulling the key out of the key slot. G. Choke Knob - The choke knob (G) adjusts the air/fuel mixture, and is used to help start a cold engine by providing a richer mixture. Once the engine is warm and running smoothly, the choke knob should be set to the off position to provide a normal air/fuel mix. STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Turn the fuel valve (located below the fuel tank) to the ON position. 2. Insert the engine key (F, Figure 1) into the engine key slot and push fully in to the RUN position. 3. Move the throttle lever (E) fully up to the FAST position. C D E F BG A Figures 1. Engine Controls A. Electric Start Button B. Fuel Valve C. Starter Handle D. Primer Button E. Throttle Lever F. Engine Key G. Choke Knob 4. Turn the choke knob (G) fully clockwise if engine is cold. (Do not choke a warm engine.) 5. Push the primer button (D) two times if engine is cold. (Do not prime a warm engine.) 6. Engine Mounted Electric Start: Press the starter button to crank the engine. Manual Start: Pull starter handle (C) rapidly to start the engine. Do not allow the starter handle to snap back—let the starter rope rewind slowly—while keeping a firm grip on the starter handle. 7. As the engine starts and begins to operate evenly, turn the choke knob (G) slowly counter-clockwise to the OFF position, and set the Throttle Lever to SLOW. If the engine falters, turn the choke knob clockwise until the engine runs smoothly, and let it run briefly before returning the choke to the OFF position. NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up at SLOW throttle for a few minutes before operating the snowthrower at full speed. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature. After warming up, always operate at full throttle. 11 Operation WARNING When BOTH levers are depressed, the Free- Hand™ Control is activated. This allows Auger Engage Control to be released — YET AUGER ROTATION WILL CONTINUE — until the Free- Hand™ Control is released. OPERATING THE SNOWTHRO...
