    Operation GENERAL OPERATION CHECKS BEFORE EACH START-UP 1. Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts, bolts and clips are secure. 2. Check to make sure that the clean-out is attached to the handle on the machine. Do not operate the machine without the clean-out tool properly stored on the handle.

  • Page 12: Starting The Engine

    STARTING CONTROLS See Figure 1for the following instructions. Units with Optional Electric Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter han- dle. 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.

  • Page 13: Operating The Snowthrower

    Operation OPERATING THE SNOWTHROWER 1. Rotate the discharge chute to the desired direction. 2. Set the speed selector to the desired forward speed. 3. Fully press and hold the auger engage control (C, Figure 2) on the right-hand grip to begin auger rota- tion.

  • Page 14: Deflector

    DEFLECTOR The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled by the position of the deflector. (Engine speed also affects distance of discharge.) The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will be thrown. Models with Chute Deflector Knob See Figure 3.
  • Page 15 Operation FULL TRACTION Both Wheels Drive Figure 6. Easy Turn Control EASY TURN FREEWHEELING TRACTION DRIVE LOCK While Clearing Snow: For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn lever (Figure 6). Engaging the Easy Turn lever releases the right traction wheel but allows the left wheel to continue driving (Figure 6).

  • Page 16: After Each Use

    AFTER EACH USE Normal use of the snowthrower may result in a build-up of packed snow in and around the starter cord housing and around engine controls. Heat from the engine will usually prevent the snow from freezing solid while the unit is running, but after the engine is shut down, some snow may continue melting from engine heat, and later freeze around some moving parts as the unit cools.

  • Page 17: Regular Maintenance Schedule

    Regular Maintenance MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED Check auger gear case lubrication.** Lubricate snowthrower. Check tire pressure. Change engine oil.*+ Clean or replace spark plug.+ Check drive linkage/belt Lubricate Axle Shafts. Check / Lubricate Free-Hand Lubricate Auger Shaft.*** * Change original oil after two hours of operation. ** Check oil level each fall and spring.

  • Page 18: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION IMPORTANT NOTE It is very important that grease fittings on the auger shaft are lubricated regularly. If auger rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur if shear pins do not break. To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also necessary to remove the wheels and grease the axles regularly.
  • Page 19 Regular M aintenance CHECK / LUBRICATE FREE-HAND LINKAGE Check the function of the Free-Hand controls: the con- trols should function as described in the CONTROLS section. It is critical for the safe operation that the controls disengage when released. If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them. lubrication does not rectify the problem, see your dealer.
