Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Lubricate Figure 10 NOTE: If auger continues to rotate with the control disengaged, shut off engine and re-adjust. 13 g Replacing Belts NOTE: There are two belts on this snow thrower: an auger belt and drive belt. It is recommended that both belts be replaced at the same time. 1. Remove the spark plug wire from spark plug and ground it against the engine to prevent accidental starting. 2. Drain gasoline from the gas tank, or place a piece of plastic sheet underneath the gas cap to prevent gasoline leakage. WARNING: Perform belt maintenance outdoors as some gas may possibly leak from the carburetor even though you placed a sheet of plastic underneath the gas cap to prevent the gas cap from leaking. 3. Remove the self-tapping screw shown in Figure 11, and press the plastic tabs to release the belt cover. Pull the belt cover up and out from around the engine and chute assembly. Set it aside and save. Auger Belt 1. Slip the front auger belt off of the engine pulley pushing it forward and rolling in off of the pulley. See Figure 12. 2. Squeeze the auger control handle to release the auger brake, which is the tab that holds the belt onto the auger pulley. Remove the belt. 3. Replace with new belt after replacing the drive belt. Drive Belt NOTE: Replace the drive belt before reassembling the new auger belt. 1. Tip the snow thrower up and forward so that it rests on the auger housing. IMPORTANT: Remember, gas could leak from the carburator at this point, the gas cap should have been covered with plastic as previously instructed. 2. Remove the spring that connects the transmission to a bolt on the engine frame. See Figure 13. NOTE: It may be easier to first remove the flange lock nut, then use needle-nosed pliers to firmly grip spring and remove from bolt. 3. Pivot the transmission forward to release pressure on the drive belt. Remove belt from transmission pulley. 4. Remove the drive belt from around the engine pulley, and away from the unit. 5. Place the new drive belt into the groove on the engine pulley. See Figure 12. 6. Tilt the transmission forward and position the drive belt onto the transmission pulley. 7. Reconnect the spring to the bolt on the engine frame and secure the transmission. Reinstall the flange lock nut. 8. Install new auger belt. 9. Reassemble the belt cover on the snow thrower. 6 Maintenance & Service Figure 11 WARNING Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all controls and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Always wear safety glasses during operation or while performing any adjustments or repairs. Figure 12 Flange Lock Nut Figure 13 14 If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, or if it is the end of the snow season when the last possibility of snow is gone, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructions below to ensure top performance from the snow thrower for many more years. Preparing Engine NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for more detailed information on preparing the snow thrower engine for storage. WARNING: Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance. NOTE: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or 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. Follow these instructions to prepare your snow thrower for storage: WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from any open flame. Be certain engine is cool. Do not smoke. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems. 1. Remove all gasoline from the carburetor and the fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and harming the engine. 2. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. 3. Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover. See Figure 14. WARNING: Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
