4.
Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving
the operator's position (behind the handles).

Free Wheeling Or
Self–propelled Drive
The snowthrower can be free wheeled or engaged for
self–propelled operation. There are two holes in each
end of the axle. When axle pins are through outer axle
holes and not through wheel hub (Fig. 5),
snowthrower free wheels. By contrast, when both
pins are installed through holes in wheel hub and
inner hole of axle (Fig. 5), snowthrower propels
itself.
Operating Tips
1.
When snowthrower is not being used, close fuel
shut–off valve and remove key from the switch.
2.
Remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.
This produces best snow removal results.
3.
Adjust skids to match the type of surface being
cleaned; refer to Adjusting Skids, page 18.
4.
The snowthrower is designed to clean snow
down to the contact surface, but there are times
when the front of the snowthrower may tend to
ride up. If this happens, reduce forward speed by
shifting into a lower gear. If front still tends to
ride up, lift up on both handles to hold down
front of snowthrower.
5.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible,
and overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal. If wheels slip, shift into a lower gear to
reduce forward speed.
6.
Run snowthrower for a few minutes after
clearing snow so moving parts do not freeze.
Engage auger to clear any remaining snow from
inside housing.
7.
Do not overload snowthrower by clearing snow
at too fast a rate. If engine slows down, shift to a
lower gear to reduce forward speed.
8.
Always use FAST
speed) when throwing snow for maximum
throwing distance and to minimize clogging.
9.
In wet or slushy conditions, clogging of the
discharge chute will be reduced by maintaining
maximum engine speed and by not overloading
the engine.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Rotating impeller or auger can cause
injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Rotating impeller or auger can cut off or
injure fingers or hands.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Stay behind the handles and away from
discharge opening while operating the
snowthrower.
Keep face, hands, feet and any other part of
your body or clothing away from
concealed, moving or rotating parts.
Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the snowthrower, and before
unclogging the discharge chute, shut engine
off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Also, pull wire off spark plug and keep
wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
USE A STICK, NOT YOUR HANDS, TO
REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONS FROM
DISCHARGE CHUTE.
10. In some snow and cold weather conditions, some
controls and moving parts may freeze. Therefore,
when any control becomes hard to operate, stop
the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop;
then check all parts for freeze up. DO NOT USE
throttle (maximum engine
