manual abstract
Use a stick, NOT YOUR HANDS, to un clog the chute and/or auger. The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled by the discharge chute control lever. • To change the discharge chute position, press downward on discharge chute control lever and move lever left or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position. The DISTANCE that snow is thrown is controlled by the position of the chute deflector. Set the deflector low to throw snow a short distance; set the deflector higher to throw snow farther. • Press downward on chute deflector control lever and move lever forward to lower the deflector and decrease the distance. Move lever back to raise the deflector and increase the distance. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position. SLOW FAST FIG. 13 10 OPERATION CAUTION: Do not move speed con trol lever when traction drive control lever is en gaged. Damage to the snow thrower can result. FIG. 15 DISCHARGE CHUTE CONTROL LEVER CHUTE DEFLECTOR REMOTE CONTROL LEVER TO THROW SNOW (See Fig. 16) The auger rotation is controlled by the auger control lever located on the right side handle. • Squeeze auger control lever to handle to engage the auger and throw snow. • Release the auger control lever to stop throwing snow. AUGER CONTROL LEVER FIG. 16 TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 17) SELF-PROPELLING, forward and reverse movement of the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control lever located on the left side handle. • Squeeze traction drive control lever to handle to en gage the drive system. • Release traction drive control lever to stop the forward or reverse movement of the snow thrower. SPEED and DIRECTION are controlled by the drive speed control lever. • Press downward on the speed control lever and move lever to de sired po si tion BE FORE engaging the traction drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position. • Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It is recommended that you use a slower speed until you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower. NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow throwing process. DRIVE SPEED CONTROL LEVER TRACTION DRIVE CONTROL LEVER FIG. 17 POWER STEERING OPERATION (See Fig. 18) Steering triggers are used to assist in steering your snow thrower.The triggers are located on the underside of each handle.When a trigger is squeezed, it disengages the drive wheel on that side of snow thrower and allows it to turn in that direction. • To turn left – squeeze left side trigger. • To turn right – squeeze right side trigger. LH TURN TRIGGER RH TURN TRIGGER FIG. 18 11 OPERATION TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 19) NOTE:The wrench provided in your parts bag may be used to adjust the skid plates. Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in normal con di tions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk, place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper clearance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface to be cleared is uneven. NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property dam age or damage to the snow thrower. • If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface, use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position. 1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Adjust skid plates by loosening the rear 1/2" hex nut only, then moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely. SKID PLATE LOW POSITION (HIGH GROUND CLEAR ANCE) 1/2" HEX NUT HIGH POSITION (LOW GROUND CLEARANCE) AUGER HOUSING FIG. 19 SCRAPER BAR The scraper bar is not adjustable, but is reversible. After con sid erable use it may become worn. When it has worn almost to the edge of the housing, it can be reversed, providing additional service before requiring replacement. Replace a dam aged or worn scrap er bar. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 20) The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from the factory, already filled with oil. 1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground. 2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and read oil le...
