Features, Controls, & Operation Please take a moment and familiarize yourself with the name, location, and function of these controls so that you will better understand the safety and operating in.
Features & Controls CONTROL LOCATIONS The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, and driving require the combined use of several controls appfied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Engine Controls STARTING CONTROLS See Figures 1 & 2 for the following instructions. Units with Optional Electric Start A. Electric Start Button (North American Models)- The electric start button (A) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter handle.
Cnntrnls GROUND SPEED CONTROLS A. Speed Selector - This lever (A, Figures 3 & 4) is used to set the ground speed of the snowthrower. The snowthrower has five forward speeds, 1-5, and two reverse speeds, 1-2.
Operation GENERAL OPERATION CHECKS BEFORE EACH START-UP 1. Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts, bolts and clips are secure. 2. Check to make sure that the clean-out tool is attached to the handle on the machine. Do not oper- ate the machine without the clean-out tool properly stored on the handle.
STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Turn the fuel valve (B, Figure 5 & 6) to the ON posi- tion. 2. Insert the engine key (F) into the engine key slot and push fully in to the RUN position. 3. Move the throttle lever (E) fully up to the FAST posi- tion. 4. Fully close the choke (G) if engine is cold.
Operation OPERATING THE SNOWTHROWER 1. Rotate the discharge chute to the desired direction. 2. Set the speed selector to the desired forward speed. 3. Fully press and hold the auger control (C, Figure 7) on the right-hand grip to begin auger rotation.
DEFLECTOR The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled by the position of the deflector (Figure 9). (Engine speed also affects distance of discharge. Always operate at FULL throttle.) The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will be thrown.
Operation FREE-WHEELING AND TRACTION DRIVE LOCK For easy turning when pushing the snowthrower, you can disengage the traction drive at one or both wheels by using the traction lock pins (See Figures 11 & 12). 1. Turn the unit off, remove the engine key, and discon- nect the spark plug wire.
Regular Maintenance MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FREQUENCY NOTES Check auger gear case lubrication.** Lubricate snowth rower. Check tire pressure. Change engine oil.*+ Clean or replace spark plug.+ Check drive linkage/belt tension. Lubricate Axle Shafts.
Maintenance LUBRICATION IMPORTANT NOTE It is very important that grease fittings on the auger shaft are lubricated regularly. If auger rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur if shear pins do not break. To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also necessary to remove the wheels and grease the axles regularly.
Stnrage LUBRICATION CHECK / LUBRICATE FREE-HAND LINKAGE Check the function of the Free-Hand controls: the con- trols should function as described in the CONTROLS section. It is critical for the safe operation of the unit that the controls disengage when released.
Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service TROUBLESHOOTING This section provides troubleshooting and service instructions. Locate the problem and check the possible cause/remedy in the order listed. Also, refer to the engine manufacturer's Owner's Manual for additional information.
Troubleshooting REMEDY PROBLEM Auger rotates, but snow is not thrown far enough POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. Chute deflector too low. 2. Engine speed too slow. 3. Ground speed too fast. 4. Snowthrower discharge chute clogged. 5. Auger belt loose or worn. 1. Adjust deflector as necessary.
Adjustments SPEED SELECTOR PIVOT ADJUSTMENT The speed selector is factory set for optimal performance at each forward and reverse speed setting. However, if drive system components have been replaced, adjust- ment may be necessary. Adjust as follows: 1.
MANUAL DISCHARGE CHUTE CONTROL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT Pinion Gear Adjustment If the discharge chute is difficult to operate, first lubricate the pinion gear (A, Figure 21) and ring gear (F).
Adjustments AUGER DRIVE CLUTCH CABLE ADJUSTMENT The auger drive clutch cable should be adjusted so that there is no slack in the cable when moved slightly from side to side. To adjust tension on the cable: 1. Loosen adjustment hex nut (Figure 23) by holding the adjusting flats and turning adjustment hex nut.
Ad_iustmP.nts DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT (Continued) If the auger drive slips (auger slows or doesn't rotate nor- mally while blowing snow), or stays engaged when the control is disengaged -- and the auger clutch cable has been properly adjusted -- the auger drive belt may be out of adjustment.
Adjustments & Service DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT (Continued) Adjusting Auger Belt Guide 1 With the auger control still fully depressed, adjust the auger belt guide(s) so that there is a 1/64" gap (1/32" Maximum) between the guide and the belt (Figures 28, 28a), making certain the guide is NOT putting pressure on the belt.
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT (Cont.) Traction Drive Belt Replacement (Cont.) 5. Reverse the procedure to install the new belt. Be sure there are no twists in the belt, and that the belt is properly seated in the pulley grooves. 6. Replace the belt cover. 7.
Service ROLLER CHAIN REPLACEMENT NOTE: This procedure does not apply to models that use an "endless" chain. 1. Remove gas from fuel tank and run engine until it stops running from lack of fuel. 2. Disconnect spark plug wire and fasten it away from the spark plug.
Specifications NOTE: Specifications are correct at time of printing and are subject to change without notice. * Actual sustained equipment horsepower will likely be lower due to operating limitations and environmental factors.
