SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TO REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 22)
Remove the klik pin and remove wheel from axle.
NOTE: To seal punctures or 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.
•
IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the in-
nermost hole in axle and the wheel hub hole. To disengage
drive system from the wheels (for pushing or transporting
the snow thrower), remove klik pin from wheel hub and
insert pin into the outermost hole in axle only.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
CARBURETOR
KLIK PIN
OUTER HOLE
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
INNER
HOLE
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.

FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING: Never store the snow
throwerwithgasolineinthetankinside
a building where fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
gasappliance. Allowtheenginetocool
before storing in any enclosure.
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.
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.

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.
1.
Clean entire snow thrower (See “CLEANING” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-
imizing 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.

PLACEBELTS”intheServiceandAdjustmentssection
