Warm engines will cause condensation in cold
weather. To prevent possible freeze--up of recoil
starter and engine controls, proceed as follows
after each snow removal job.
(Figure 21) On some models, a clean--out tool
(1) is attached to the top of the auger housing.
Use the clean--out tool (1) to remove snow
from the auger housing.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap
each previous path.
4. Whenever possible, discharge the snow
down wind.
1.
Run the snow thrower a few minutes after
throwing snow to prevent freeze--up of the
auger/impeller.
5.
For normal usage, set the skids so that the
scraper bar is 1/8” above the skids. For ex-
tremely hard--packed snow surfaces, adjust
the skids upward so that the scraper bar
touches the ground.
1. (Figure 1) Release the auger drive lever
(5).
2. Pull out the safety key (8).
2.
3.
With engine off, allow engine to cool for sev-
eral minutes.
Pull starter rope very slowly until resistance
is felt, then stop. Allow the starter rope to re-
coil. Repeat three times.
3.
4.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
Do not place your hands in the auger hous-
ing (4) or the discharge chute (3).
(Figure 21) Use the clean--out tool (1) or a
pry bar to remove any snow or debris.
6. Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and
thrown by the machine. On gravel or crushed
rock surfaces, set the skids at 1--1/4 inch be-
low the scraper bar. See “How To Adjust The
Height Of The Skids” in the Maintenance
section.
5.
4.
With the engine not running, wipe all snow
and moisture from the carburetor cover in
area of controls and levers. Also, move the
choke control and starter handle several
times.
Snow Throwing Tips
1.
For maximum snow thrower efficiency in re-
moving snow, adjust ground speed. Go
slower in deep, freezing or wet snow. If the
wheels slips, reduce forward speed.
Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished
when the snow is removed immediately after
if falls.
7.
After each snow throwing job, allow the en-
gine to idle for a few minutes. The snow and
accumulated ice will melt off the engine.
How To Remove Snow or Debris From
The Auger Housing
WARNING: Do not attempt to re-
move snow or debris that may be-
come lodged in auger housing with
your hands. Use the clean--out tool or a pry
bar to remove snow or debris.
8.
9.
Clean the snow thrower after each use.
2.
Remove ice, snow and debris from the entire
snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all
salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower
dry.
CAUTION: Do not overload the machine
capacity by attempting to clear snow at
too fast a rate.
