GeneralInformation

This instruction book is written for a person with some mechanical ability. Like most service books, not all the steps are described. Steps on how to loosen or tighten fasteners are steps anyone can follow with some mechanical ability. Read and follow these instructions before you use the unit.

Know your product: If you understand the unit and how the unit operates, you will get the best performance. As you read this manual, compare the illustrations to the unit. Learn the location and the function of the controls. To help prevent an accident, follow the operating instructions and the safety rules. Keep this manual for future reference.

IMPORTANT: Many units are not assembled and are sold in cartons. It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure the assembly instructions in this manual are exactly followed. Other units are purchased in an assembled condition. On assembled units, it is the responsibility of the owner to make sure the unit is correctly assembled. The owner must carefully check the unit according to the instructions in this manual before it is first used.

Controls & Equipment Features (see Figure 1)

Crank Assembly (2) - Changes the direction of the discharge chute.

Chute Deflector (3) - Changes the distance the snow is thrown.

Discharge Chute (4) - Changes the direction the snow is thrown.

Auger Drive Lever (5) - Starts and stops the auger (snow gathering and throwing) which also propels the snowthrower..

Engine Features

Stop Switch (8) - If equipped, move to the ON position to start the engine.

Primer Button (9) - Injects fuel directly into the carburetor for fast starts in cold weather.

Recoil Starter Handle (12) - Use to manually start the engine.

Choke Control (14) - Use to start a cold engine.

Thismanualcontainssafetyinformationtomakeyou awareofthehazardsandrisksassociatedwithsnow

throwers, and how to avoid them. Thesnow thrower is designed and intended for removal of snow, and should not be used for any other purpose. It is important that you read and understand these instructions, and anyone operating the equipment read and understand these instructions.

WARNING

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of Californiatocause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Asignalword(DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential severity of injury. In addition, ahazardsymbol may be used to represent the type of hazard.

DANGER indicates ahazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates ahazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates ahazard which, if not avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION, when used without the alert symbol, indicates a situation that could result in damage to the equipment.

HowToReplaceTheAugerDriveBelt

The drive belt is of special construction and must bere placed with an original factory re-

placement belt available from your nearest authorized service center.

If the auger drive belt is damaged, the snow-thrower will not discharge snow and will not move forward. Replace the damaged belt as follows:

1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Remove the belt cover. See "How To Remove The Belt Cover".
3. Note the path of the augerdrivebelt(1). For assistance, a diagram decal is provided.
4. (Figure 14) Remove the belt guide screw (2) and the belt guide (3). To remove the beltguide(3), rotate the beltguide(3) down.
5. (Figure 15) Remove the idler screw (4) and idler pulley (5) from the idler arm (6).
6. (Figure 16) Remove the auger drive belt (1) from the engine pulley and pull through side of motor box.
7. (Figure 17) To remove the auger drive belt (1) from the impeller pulley (7), move the idler arm to the engaged position. This will provide clearance (8) between the impeller pulley (7) and the brake arm (9) to remove the augerdrivebelt.
8. To install a new augerdrivebelt(1), reverse the above steps.
9. Check the adjustment of the auger drive cable. See "Adjust Auger Control Cable".

Lubrication

HowToCheckTheEngineOil(Figure3)

Check the oil level before starting the engine and after each eight (8) hours of continuous use.

1. Make sure the unit is level.
2. Remove the oilfillcap/dipstick(1)and fill the crankcase to "FULL" line on dipstick. DO NOToverfill.
3. Tighten the oilfillcap/dipstick(1)securely each time you check the oil level.

NOTE: Synthetic oil can assist with starting in extreme cold temperatures. Synthetic 5W30 is acceptable for all temperatures. DO NOT mix oil with petrol.

HowToChangeTheEngineOil

Change the engine oil every fifty (50) hours or at least once a year if the snow thrower is not used for fifty (50) hours.

To change the engine oil, the engine must be tilted forward and the oil drained from the oil fill tube. Change oil when the engine is warm.

1. (Figure5) Lift the rear of the snowthrower and tilt the unit forward. In the correct position, the snowthrower will be setting on the front of the auger housing.
2. Put an oil drain pan (1) under the oil fill tube(2).
3. Carefully remove the oil fill cap/dipstick. Oil will begin to flow into the oildrainpan(2).
4. After all the oil has drained from the engine, set the snowthrower in the upright operating position.
5. (Figure3) Fill the engine with S.A.E. 5W30 oil. Make sure the oil reaches the FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

NOTE: Synthetic oil can assist with starting in extreme cold temperatures. Synthetic 5W30 is acceptable for all temperatures. DO NOT mix oil with petrol.

HowToReplaceTheSparkPlug (Figure20)

NOTE: This sparkignition system meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference--Causing Equipment Regulations.

NOTE: Thisenginecomplieswithallcurrent AustralianandNewZealandlimitationselectromagneticinterference.

Check the spark plug (1) every twenty-five (25) hours. Replace the sparkplug(1)if the electrodes are pitted or burned, if the porcelain is cracked, or every 100hours of use.

1. Make sure the sparkplug(1) is clean. Clean the sparkplug(1) by carefully scraping the electrodes (donotsandblastoruseawire brush).
2. Check the sparkplug(1)gap with a feeler gauge(2)and reset gap to 0.030" if necessary..
3. Before installing the sparkplug(1), coat the threads lightly with oil for easy removal. Tighten the sparkplug(1) to a torque of 15 foot-pounds.

HowToPrepareTheSnowThrowerFor Storage

WARNING: Donotremovepetrol whileinsideabuilding, nearafire, orwhileyousmoke. Petrolfumes seanexplosionorafire.

If the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended period, refer to the engine manufactur-

er's operating manual (included with some models) for important maintenance or storage details.

1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.

3. Never store the snow thrower with fuel in the tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine (motor) to cool before storing in any enclosure.

4. Drain the oil from the warm engine. Fill the engine crankcase with new oil.

5. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil--start grip so that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a new spark plug in the cylinder.

6. Thoroughly clean the snow thrower.

7. Lubricate all lubrication points. See the Maintenance section.

8. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary.

9. Cover the bare metal parts of the blower housing and auger with spray rust preventative lubricant.

10. Put the unit in a building that has good ventilation.

11. If the machine must be stored outdoors, block up the snow thrower to be sure the entire machine is off the ground.

12. Cover the snow thrower with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
