Operating Tips
•
•
•
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous path.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
The engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed
snow. Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate)
when using on gravel or crushed rock.
WARNING: The temperature of the
muffler and the surrounding areas may
exceed 150°F. Avoid these areas.
•
•
Be certain to follow the precautions found in the To
Stop Engine section to prevent possible freeze-up.
•
For the most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

If adjustment is necessary:
•
Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable
(Figure 5). Adjust the cable as necessary.
WARNING: Drain the gasoline out of your
snow thrower’s engine, or place a piece of
plastic film under the gas cap to avoid
spillage before making this adjustment.
•
Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when
correct adjustment is reached and reassemble.
•
Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on
the auger housing.
NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it before operating the snow thrower.
