Features & Controls Auger Control Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. Releasing the control stops the auger/impeller. Chute Direction Control Models with Electric Chute Rotator: Depressing the chute rotator switch rotates the chute left or right. Models with Manual Chute Rotator: Turning the crank rotates the discharge chute to desired p[...]

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. 3. Check the engine oil level. See your [...]

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 han- dle. The Electric Start Button operates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by connectio[...]

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. Releasing the auger engage control will disen- gage the auger --unless the Free-Hand TM C[...]

Operation 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. 1. Loosen the deflector knob, tilt the deflector UP or DOWN. 2. Retight[...]

Storage 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 late[...]

Regular Maintenance MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FREQUENCY NOTES Check auger gear case lubrication.** Lubricate snowthrower. Check tire pressure. Change engine oil.*+ Clean or replace spark plug.+ Check drive linkage/belt tension. Lubricate Axle Shafts. Check / Lubricate Free-Hand Linkage. Lubricate Auger Shaft.*** * Change original oi[...]

Regular Maintenance 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. Remove wheels and greas[...]

Regular Maintenance 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 of the unit that the controls disengage when released. If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them. If lubrication does not rect[...]

Troubleshooting PROBLEM Auger rotates, but snow is not thrown far enough POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. Chute deflector too low. Poor traction Auger does not stop when auger lever is released 2. Engine speed too slow• 3. Ground speed too fast• 4. Snowthrower discharge chute clogged• Snowthrower does not stop when drive lever is released Discharge control [...]

Adjustments SPEED SELECTOR ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen the two nuts (C, Figure 17). 2. Place the shift lever in 5th gear. 3. Push the lower rod into the housing and tighten the two nuts (C). Do not lift up or down on rods while tightening. Make sure the shoulders of the carriage bolts (B) are in the slots. 4. Always check traction drive tension and auger [...]

Adjustments TRACTION DRIVE TENSION Initial Adjustment 1.With the drive lever released there should be no slack in the cable when moved slightly from side to side, but bellcrank arm remains in fully down position. 1. To adjust tension on the cable loosen adjustment hex nut (D, Figure 19) by holding the adjusting flats (A). Turn the adjustment screw.[...]

Adjustments MANUAL DISCHARGE CHUTE CONTROL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT Pinion Gear Adjustment If the discharge chute is difficult to operate, first lubricate the pinion gear (A, Figure 20) and ring gear (F). If it is still difficult to operate, adjust as follows: NOTE: If the discharge chute will not stay in position, adjust the pinion gear (,4) closer to t[...]

Adjustments & Service EASY TURN TM CABLE ADJUSTMENT If the Easy Turn TM cable has stretched, the gears will not disengage when the control lever is activated. Adjust the cable using the following procedure. 1. Turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug wire. 2. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 23). 3. Turn the adjustment nut (A) to lengthen[...]

Adjustments & Service BELT REPLACEMENT 1. Turn off the engine, remove the spark plug wire, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Rotate the spout full right. Loosen the two screws (B, Figure 25) securing the belt cover. 2. Tilt the cover forward and work it off the snowthrower. 3. Move the belt guides (B, Figure 26) by loosening the two capscr[...]

Service 6. Reverse the procedure to install the belts. Be sure there are no twists and the belts are properly seated in the grooves. Adjust the belt stops so there is 1/8" (3mm) clearance between belt and stop. The pattern for both belts is shown in Figure 28. Slide the right axle left fully before tightening the set collar (E, Figure 27). 7. [...]
