Retighten the wing knob before operating the snow thrower. • Crank the chute directional control to position the discharge chute opening in the desired direction. See Figure 7. NOTE: For more efficient snow clearing, discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Figure 7 WARNING: Never operate the snow thrower with bystanders in front of or near the discharge chute opening. • Engage the auger by squeezing the control handle against the upper handle. See Figure 7. • Lift up slightly on the handle to allow the rubber paddles on the auger to contact the pavement and propel the snow thrower forward. IMPORTANT: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result in premature wear on the rubber auger paddles. Resulting wear would not be covered by warranty. • As the snow thrower starts to move, maintain a firm hold on the handle, and guide the snow thrower along the path to be cleared. • Release the auger control handle to stop the snow throwing action and the forward motion. Stopping the Engine WARNING: Muffler, engine and surrounding areas become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch. Chute Directional Control Control Handle 9 • After clearing snow, allow the engine to run for an extra few minutes before storing to help dry any moisture on the engine. • To stop the engine: Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the OFF position. Refer to Ignition Key on page 7. Remove the key form the snow thrower’s ignition switch before storing. IMPORTANT: Keep the ignition key in a safe place. The engine can not be started without it. • Wipe all the snow and any moisture which has formed, from the unit. • Move the choke lever back and forth several times. SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: NEVER attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in the operator’s manual. Control Cable & Belt Tension As a result of both the control cable and the drive belt stretching due to wear, periodic adjustments may be necessary. If the auger seems to hesitate when rotating while the engine maintains a constant speed, an adjustment is necessary. Proceed as follows: The upper hole in the control handle provides for an adjustment in cable tension. To adjust, disconnect the end of control cable from the bottom hole in the control handle and reinsert it in the upper hole. Refer to Figure 3 . Test the snow thrower to see if there is a noticeable difference. If additional adjustment is required, proceed as follows. • Remove the belt cover from the left side of the snow thrower’s auger housing by unthreading the five hex screws which secure it in place. See Figure 8. There are three adjustment holes provided in the idler bracket assembly. To adjust, proceed as follows: • Move the extension spring (found on the end of the control cable) from the low position to the middle position on the idler bracket. See Figure 9. NOTE: Be careful not to lose the idler spring when moving the clutch cable spring. See Figure 9. • If the extension spring is already found in the middle position on the idler bracket, move it from the middle position to the high position. • Reattach the belt cover with the five hex screws removed earlier. Figure 8 Figure 9 Hex Screws Belt Cover Idler Bracket Control Cable Spring Idler Spring Adjustment Holes 10 Shave Plate • To check the adjustment of the shave plate, place the unit on a level surface. The wheels, shave plate and augers should all contact the level surface. Note that if the shave plate is adjusted too high, snow may blow under the housing. If the shave plate wears out excessively, or the unit will not selfpropel, the shave plate may be adjusted too low. NOTE: On new units or units with a new shave plate installed, the augers may be slightly off the ground. • To adjust, tip the snow thrower back so that it rests on the handle. Loosen the lock nuts from the carriage bolts which secure the shave plate to the housing. See Figure 10. • Move the shave plate to desired position and retighten the nuts and bolts. Make certain all four nuts are securely tightened. Figure 10 SECTION 6: MAINTAINING YOUR SNOW THROWER WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Engine Refer to the Tecumseh Engines manual packed with the snow thrower for detailed instructions regarding all engine-related maintenance. Lubrication • Lubricate pivot points on the control handle and the extension spring at the end of the clutch cable with a light oil once every season and before storage of the snow thrower at the end of the season. Hardware Check the engine and snow thrower frequently for loose or missing hardware, and tighten or replace as necessary. Replacing the Drive Belt The snow thrower’s drive belt is subject to wear and should be replaced if any signs of cracking, shredding or rotting is present. To change...
