adjusting The auger cable
Periodic adjustment to the auger control cable may be required due
to normal stretch and wear on the belt. Adjustment is needed if the
augers seem to hesitate while turning, but the engine maintains speed,
or continue turning with the auger control disengaged.
1. Loosen the rear hex bolt on the cable adjustment bracket. See
Figure 12.
2. Slide the cable adjustment bracket backwards taking out the slack
in the auger cable.
3. Retighten the rear hex bolt
4. Start engine and verify auger control engages and disengages
properly.
NOTE: If auger continues to rotate with the control disengaged, shut
off the engine and readjust the cable bracket forward. Then recheck
the auger operation.
checking oil Level
Before operating snow thrower, check the oil level by following steps
below.
1. With engine on level ground, oil must be to FULL mark on dipstick.
See Figure 13.
2. Stop engine and wait several minutes before checking oil level.
Remove oil fill cap and dipstick.
3. Wipe dipstick clean, insert it into oil fill hole and tighten snugly.
4. Remove dipstick and check. If oil is not up to the FULL mark on
dipstick, add oil.
changing oil
Change engine oil after first two hours of operation and every 25 hours
thereafter. In order to change oil, you will have to first drain the used
engine oil from the engine and then refill with fresh oil.
1. Drain oil while engine is warm. Remove oil drain plug located at the bot-
tom of the recoil starter of the engine. Catch oil in a suitable container.
2. When engine is drained of all oil, replace drain plug securely.
3. Remove the dipstick from the oil fill. For location of the oil fill, see
Figure 6. Pour fresh oil slowly through the plug. Replace dipstick.
4. Check and make sure that the level of oil is up to the FULL mark on
the dipstick.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve
starting in cold weather, they could also result in higher oil consump-
tion when used above 32˚ F. Check your snow thrower's engine oil
level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running
low on oil. See the Viscosity Chart in Figure 14.
