Check for correct adjustment before operating the snow thrower. Chute Bracket Adjustment If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute bracket can be adjusted. To do so, loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and reposition it slightly before retightening the nuts. See Figure 15. Drive Control & Shift Lever When the drive control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight. Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows: 1. With the drive control released, push the snow thrower gently forward. The unit should roll freely. 2. Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The unit should not roll freely. 3. With the drive control released, move the shift lever back and forth between the R2 position and the F6 position several times. There should be no resistance in the shift lever. 5 Making Adjustments Figure 14 WARNING Read, understand, and follow all instruc- tions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating. Never attempt to make any adjust- ments while the engine is running, except where speci- fied in operator’s manual. Figure 15

need of adjustment. Proceed as follows: 5. Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket. See Figure 16. 6. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to increase cable tension). 7. Retighten the lower hex nut. You can also check the adjustment as follows: 1. With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain 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 the self-tapping screws. Refer to Figure 22 on page 17. 2. With the drive control released, there must be 1/8” clearance between the friction wheel and the drive pulley in all positions of the shift lever. 3. With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive pulley. Refer to Figure 24 on page 18. 4. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable index bracket and pivot the bracket upward or downward as necessary. Refer to Figure 16. Tighten the lower hex nut to secure the bracket when correct adjustment is reached. 5. Reassemble the frame cover and turn the unit back to its operating position. NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain to remove it now. Auger Control To adjust the auger control, refer to page 13. Skid Shoes The space between this shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven. 1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four lock nuts and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 17. 2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. 3. Tighten nuts and bolts securely. Figure 17 Making Adjustments IMPORTANT It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing personal injury or damage to the snow thrower. If for some reason, you have to operate the snow thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest position for maximum clearance between the ground and the shave plate. Figure 16

disconnect spark plug, and ground against engine before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of maintenance on your machine. IMPORTANT Avoid oil spillage on rubber friction wheel and aluminum drive plate. Do not overfill the gear case. Damage to the seals could result. Figure 18 Figure 19 WARNING: Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before performing any maintenance or adjust- ments. Always wear safety glasses during operation or while performing any adjustments or repairs. General Recommendations 1. Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance. 2. The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from warranty, operator must maintain the snow thrower as instructed here. 3. Some adjustments will have to be made periodically to maintain your unit properly. 4. Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are tight. Engine Refer to the separate Tecumseh Engines manual packed with your unit for all engine maintenance. Lubrication 1. Drive Mechanism: Once a season or after every 25 hours of operation, remove rear frame cover and lubricate any chains, sprockets, gears, bearings, and shafts with engine oil or lubricant spray. 2. Hex Gear Shaft: Once a season, lubricate the hex shaft with a penetrating oil, but not grease. Refer to Figure 24 on page 18. 3. Gear Case: The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory and does not require regular lubrication. However, if disassembled for any reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania™ grease (part # 737-0168). Before reassembling, remove old sealant and apply new sealant. 4. Wheels: Once a season, remove the bolt from each wheel and take the wheel off the axle. Apply a multipurpose automotive grease on the shaft before putting back the wheels. 5. Auger Shaft: At least once a season, remove the shear pins on auger shaft. Spray lubricant inside shaft, around the spacers. Also lubricate the flange bearings found at either end of the shaft. See Figure 18. 6. Chute Directional Control: Once a season, the spiral end on the chute directional control should be greased with multipurpose automotive grease. 7. Pivot Points: All pivoting points on the snow thrower should be lubricated with a light oil once a season. 8. Drive/Auger Control Lock: The cam on the ends of the control rods which interlock the drive and auger controls must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25 hours of operation using a multi-purpose automotive grease. The cam can be accessed beneath handle panel. 9. Engine: Refer to the separate Tecumseh Engines manual packed with your unit for all engine lubrication instructions. Augers The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear pins and cotter pins. See Figure 19. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins will shear. 1. If augers do not turn, check to see if pins have sheared. IMPORTANT NEVER replace the auger shear pins with standard pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other com- ponents, as a result of doing so, will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty. 3HEAR0IN "EARING 3PACERS

pins and cotter pins have been provided with the snow thrower. Spray an oil lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins and securing with new cotter pins. See Figure 19. Shave Plate and Skid Shoes The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. Check these periodi- cally and replace as necessary. Replacing Skid Shoe 1. Remove four carriage bolts and lock nuts which attach two skid shoes to the snow thrower on two sides. See Figure 20. 2. Reassemble new skid shoes with the same hardware. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level. Replacing Shave Plate 1. After removing both skid shoes, remove four carriage bolts and lock nuts which attach shave plate to the snow thrower housing. See Figure 20. 2. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely. Re-install skid shoes. Replacing Belt Check the condition of both auger belt and drive belt every 25 hours of snow thrower operation. Replace if either shows signs of wear and tear.

thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance. WARNING Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from any open flame. Be certain engine is cool. Do not smoke. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems. If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, or if it is the end of the snow season when the last pos- sibility of snow is gone, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructions below to ensure top performance from the snow thrower for many more years. Preparing Engine WARNING: Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance. NOTE: It is important to prevent gum deposits from form- ing in essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. CAUTION: 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. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Follow these instructions to prepare your snow thrower for storage: WARNING: Drain fuel into an ap- proved container outdoors, away from any open flame. Be certain engine is cool. Do not smoke. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. 1. Remove all gasoline from the carburetor and the fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and harming the engine. 2. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. 3. Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover (refer to the Tecumseh engine manual for more detailed instruc- tion). WARNING: Do not drain carbure- tor if using fuel stabilizer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an accept- able alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. 4. Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with a rag and crank the engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace spark plug. NOTE: Refer to the Tecumseh engine manual for more information on preparing the snow thrower engine for storage. Preparing Snow Thrower 1. When storing the snow thrower in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables. 2. Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment. 3.
