Recoil Starter (Optional Instructions): With engine
running, pull starter rope with a rapid, continuous full
arm stroke three or four times. Pulling the starter
rope will produce a loud clattering sound, which is
not harmful to the engine or starter.

place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.

cover in the area of the control levers. Also,
move control levers back and forth several

3.
For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward
when using on gravel or crushed rock.
TO ENGAGE DRIVE
1.
With the engine running near top speed, move
shift lever into one of the six FORWARD
positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a
speed appropriate for the snow conditions that
exist. Use the slower speeds until you are
familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
Squeeze the traction drive clutch grip against the
right handle and the snow thrower will move.
Release it and the drive motion will stop.
4.
5.
Be certain to follow the precautions listed under
2.
‘‘
To Stop Engine’’ to prevent possible freeze-up.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each
use.
NOTE: NEVER move shift lever without first
releasing the drive clutch.
SECTION 8: ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: NEVER attempt to clean
chute or make any adjustments while
engine is running.
With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain the gasoline or place plastic film under the gas
cap if the snow thrower has already been operated),
remove the frame cover underneath the snow
thrower by removing four self-tapping screws.
CHUTE ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to
the Control section of this manual.
With the traction drive clutch released, there must be
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive
plate in all positions of the shift lever. With the
traction drive clutch engaged, the friction wheel must
contact the drive plate. See Figure 20.
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be adjusted. Refer to the Final Adjustments
section page 10.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock nut on
the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or out
as necessary. Tighten the lock nut to secure the
cable when correct adjustment is reached.
Reassemble the frame cover.
TRACTION DRIVE CLUTCH
ADJUSTMENT
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the
Assembly Instructions to adjust the traction drive
clutch. If you are uncertain that you have reached
the correct adjustment, the adjustment can be
physically checked as follows.
NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it.
