6.
Check operation of discharge chute control
(Fig. 19). Move worm gear slightly outward if
binding is evident.
Check Tire Pressure
IMPORTANT: Check pressure of tires
because they are over-inflated at the factory
for shipping. Therefore, before the
snowthrower is operated, reduce pressure in
both tires to 7-15 psi equally.
Install Skids
1.
Check tire pressure; refer to Check Tire Pressure,
page 13.
2.
Move the snowthrower onto a flat surface and
check if scraper (Fig. 15) is parallel to the
ground. If not, adjust scraper; refer to Adjusting
Scraper, page 18.
3.
Remove (2) flange bolts and flat washers
securing ends of scraper to side plates (Fig. 16).
Reinstall bolts through rear slots in skids.
Assemble both skids so that washers are between
skids and sideplates (Fig. 16). Do not tighten
bolts.
4.
Install (2) flange bolts through front slots in
skids and through sideplates. Install flat washers
and lock nuts on inside of sideplates. Do not
tighten bolts.
Note:
The following steps adjust the skids for
paved surfaces. For gravel or crushed
rock surfaces, refer to Adjusting Skids,
page 18.
5.
Support the scraper to be 1/8 inch above a level
surface if the snowthrower is to be used on
smooth pavement.
Note:
The scraper should be higher than 1/8
inch above the pavement if the
pavement surfaces are cracked, rough
or uneven.
6.
Move the skids down to sit flat on the ground
and tighten the (4) flange bolts securing both
skids to the auger side plates.
Check Auger Gear Box Oil
1.
Move snowthrower to a level surface.
2.
Clean area around pipe plug so dirt is removed.
3.
Remove pipe plug from gear box (Fig. 15).
4.
Check oil level in gear box. Oil must be at point
of overflowing in filler opening.
5.
If level of oil is low, add GL–5 or GL–6 SAE
85–95 EP transmission oil to the gear box until
point of overflow.
Note:
Do not use synthetic gear oil.
6.
Reinstall pipe plug in gear box.
Before Starting
Fill Crankcase With Oil
The engine is shipped from the factory without oil in
the crankcase. Therefore, before starting the engine,
oil must be added to the crankcase.
IMPORTANT: Check level of oil every 5
operating hours or each time unit is used.
Initially, change oil after the first 2 hours of
operation; thereafter, under normal
conditions, change oil after every 25 hours of
operation or annually, whichever comes first.
1.
Move unit to a level surface to ensure an
accurate oil level reading.
2.
Clean area around dipstick to prevent foreign
matter from entering filler hole when dipstick is
removed (Fig. 17).
3.
Remove dipstick from crankcase.
