OPERATION
TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 16)
SCRAPER BAR (See Fig. 17)
SELF-PROPELLING, forward  and reverse movement  of
the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control
lever located on the left side handle.
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.
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 trac-
tion drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and
locks into desired position.
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.
CAUTION: Do  not  move speed  control lever
when traction drive  control lever is engaged.
Damage to the snow thrower can result.
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 18)
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.
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.  Do not over-
fill. 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.

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.
