  2. Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.
  3. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children.
  4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating the snow thrower in reverse.

Preparation

  1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
  2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine (motor).
  3. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
  4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable

(a) Use an approved fuel container.
(b) Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
(c) Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
(d) Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from your vehicle, before filling.
(e) When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

(f) Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
(g) Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
(h) If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

  1. Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.
  2. Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.
  3. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).
  4. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine.

Operation

  1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
  2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
  3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow thrower.
  4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
  5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments or inspections.

  6. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting the snow thrower, stop the engine and make certain the collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the engine.

  7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for transporting the snow thrower in or out of the building. Open the outside doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.
  8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
  9. Never operate the snow thrower without proper guards, and other safety protective devices in place and working.
  10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep children and others away.
  11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
  12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse.
  13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snow thrower is transported or not in use.
  14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snow thrower (such as wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs).
  15. Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

  16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute

Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute. To clear the chute:

  1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
  2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
  3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.

Maintenance and Storage

  1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
  2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
  3. Always refer to operator's manual for important details if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended period.
  4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
  5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 15)

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 engage 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 desired position BEFORE engaging the traction drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position.

CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever when traction drive control lever is engaged. Damage to the snow thrower can result.

  • 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.

POULAN PRO XT XT11530ES - TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 15) - 1
FIG. 15

POWER STEERING OPERATION (See Fig. 16)

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.

POULAN PRO XT XT11530ES - POWER STEERING OPERATION (See Fig. 16) - 1
FIG. 16

TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)

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 conditions, 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 damage 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.
  • Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
  • Adjust skid plates by loosening the hex nuts, then moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.

POULAN PRO XT XT11530ES - TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17) - 1
FIG. 17

SCRAPER BAR (See Fig. 17)

The scraper bar is not adjustable, but is reversible. After considerable 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 damaged or worn scraper bar.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 18)

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 level. If necessary, add oil until "FULL" mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
  3. To change engine oil, see "TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL" in the Maintenance section of this manual.

ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18)

  • Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

POULAN PRO XT XT11530ES - ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18) - 1

WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas-hol 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 of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

  2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back against the starter.

If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or use the electric starter.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

  • Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to adjust speed.
    It is easier and more efficient to remove snow immediately after it falls.
  • The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
  • Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be removed.
  • Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
  • Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow conditions. See "TO ADJUST SKID PLATES" in this section of this manual.
  • For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow removal by overlapping previous path and moving slowly.
  • Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life.
    After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
  • Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as instructed in this manual. Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

  • Once a year, you should replace the spark plug and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help your engine run better and last longer.
  • Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the unit to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.

BEFORE EACH USE

  1. Check engine oil level.
  2. Check for loose fasteners.
  3. Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly.

LUBRICATION

Keep your snow thrower well lubricated

(See "LUBRICATION CHART").

SNOW THROWER

Always observe the safety rules when performing any maintenance.

TIRES

  • Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14-17 P.S.I.).
  • Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.

POULAN PRO XT XT11530ES - TIRES - 1
LUBRICATION CHART

V-BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. (See "TO REMOVE BELT COVER" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special construction and should be replaced by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) belts available from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to

the snow thrower.

MAINTENANCE

AUGER GEAR CASE

  • The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs attention is if service has been performed on the gear case.
    If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.

DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.

CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above components can cause contamination of the friction wheel and damage to the drive system of your snow thrower.

ENGINE

See engine manual.

LUBRICATION

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SG-SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature.

Synthetic5W30 or 10W30
°F-200303240
°C-30-20-10010
TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32^ . Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fill cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil change. All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL.

  • Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
  • Oil will drain more freely when warm.
    Catch oil in a suitable container.

NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and placement of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil trapped inside the engine. (See "TO REMOVE WHEELS" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

  1. Remove safety ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
  2. Clean area around drain plug.
  3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
  4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.
  5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
  6. Install left wheel (if removed for draining oil). Be sure to install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See "TO REMOVE WHEELS" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
  7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt to enter the engine.
  8. Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual.
  9. Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.
  10. Wipe off any spilled oil.

ENGINE

See engine manual.

CARBURETOR

Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134 meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower to a qualified service center.

ENGINE SPEED

Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your unit for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

POULAN PRO XT XT11530ES - STORAGE - 1

WARNING: Never store the snow thrower with gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

SNOW THROWER

When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

  1. Clean entire snow thrower (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this manual).
  2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See "TO REPLACE BELTS" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
  3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual.
  4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary.
  5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

ENGINE

See engine manual.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, 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.

  • Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
  • Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
    Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER

  1. Remove spark plug.
  2. Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into cylinder.
  3. Pull recoil starter handle slowly a few times to distribute oil.
  4. Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

  • Remove safety ignition key; store it in a safe place.
  • Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
  • Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
    If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
  • Cover your snow thrower with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe, which allows condensation to form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/exhaust area is still warm.
