Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature. WARM START - RECOIL STARTER Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF position. DO NOT push the primer. BEFORE STOPPING Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any moisture on the engine. IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine, proceed as follows: 1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much rope out of the starter as possible. 2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back against the starter. If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or use the electric starter. SNOW THROWING TIPS • Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance. • Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed. • It is easier and more efficient to remove snow im me- di ate ly after it falls. • The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming tem per a tures. • Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be removed. • Throw snow downwind whenever possible. • Ad just the skid plates to proper height for current snow con di tions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this section of this manual. • For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow removal by over lap ping previous path and moving slowly. • Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life. • After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine. • Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use. WARNING: Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions im pair visibility. Throwing snow dur ing a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower. 13 14 MAINTENANCE GENERAL REC OMM EN DA TIONS LUBRICATION CHART The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been sub ject ed to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain snow thrower as in struct ed in this manual. Some ad just ments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your snow thrower. At least once a season, check to see if you should make any of the adjustments described in the Service and Adjust ments section of this manual. • At least once a year, you should replace the spark plug and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help your engine run better and last longer. • Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual. NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the unit to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator. BEFORE EACH USE 1. Check engine oil level. 2. Check for loose fasteners. 3. Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly. LUBRICATION Keep your snow thrower well lubricated (See “LU BRI CA TION CHART”). SNOW THROWER Always observe the safety rules when performing any main te nance. TIRES • Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14–17 P.S.I. / 19-24.5 N-m). • Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm rubber. NOTE: To seal tire punctures and 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 cor ro sion. . SAE 30 Motor Oil . See “ENGINE” in Maintenance section . General Purpose Grease . Engine oil . Pivot points . Auger grease fittings MAINTENANCE BELTS Check belts for deterioration and wear after every 50 hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not ad just able. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. (See “TO REMOVE BELT COVER” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). The belts on your snow thrower are of special con struc tion and should be replaced by original equipment man u fac tur er (OEM) belts avail able from your nearest dealer. Using other than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to the snow thrower. AUGER GEAR CASE • The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs attention is if service has been performed on the gear case. • If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease. TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance. CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above com po nents can cause contamination of the friction wheel and damage to the drive system of your snow thrower. ENGINE See engine manual. LUBRICATION Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API...
