Dear TROY-SILT Snowthrower™ Owner: Congratulations! You now own one of the finest snowthrowers available today. To help you safely and efficiently assemble, operate, and service your snowthrower, we've prepared this Owner/Operator Manual for you.
FOR SERVICE OR PARTS For service questions, operating questions, or replacement parts, you can either contact us at the factory or see your local servicing dealer. Our factory addresses, hours, and telephone numbers are listed below for your convenience.
SECTION 1: SAFETY IMPORTANT Safe Practices for Walk-Behind Snowthrowers. This is a safety alert symbol. It is used in this Manual and on snow- thrower decals to alert you to poten- tial hazards. Whenever you see this symbol, read and obey the safety message that follows it.
To prevent a shock hazard, use the electric starting system only with an electrical cord rated for outdoor use. Be sure this electrical cord is of a sufficient gauge. F. Do not abuse the electrical cord. Never pull the snowthrower by the cord. Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the outlet.
SAFETY 27. Do not use the snowthrower near drop-ofts, ditches, or embankments. If the snowthrower's wheel should go over the edge, or if the edge would cave in, the snowthrower could suddenly overturn. 28. Do not wear loose clothing such as scarves that could get caught in the rotating parts of the snowthrower.
SECTION 2: EASY ASSEMBLY To assemble your snowthrower, you'll need: 1. One quart of clean, high quality engine oil. (Refer to "Specifications" on the inside back cover for the recommended types and viscosities.) 2. Two 7/16-inch wrenches: 3.
EASY ASSEMBLY ) B~ Figure 2-1 Step 1: Attach the Handlebars. 1. Remove the four loosely installed 5/16-18 x 7/8 flange screws from holes A. 2. Place the lower ends of the handlebar assembly on the outside of the upper rear corner of the frame as shown in Figure 2-1 (Item A).
Step 3: Attach the Deflector Chute Assembly. 1. Use a 3/8-inch wrench and a 5/16-inch wrench to remove two of the three sets of shims and clips (Figure 2-3, Items D & E) from the lower, rear part of the deflector chute assembly. Don't remove the shim and clip that is in front of the chute opening.
EASY ASSEMBLY Step 5: Check the Tires' Air Pressure. 1. Use an automotive-type tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure in the tires. 2. Make sure that both tires are evenly inflated - or else the snowthrower could pull to one side. The correct tire pressure is 15 to 20 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch).
SECTION 3: SNOW THROWER AND ENGINE CONTROLS This Section describes the location and function of the various controls you will need to use when oper- ating the snowthrower. For complete step-by-step operating instructions, please refer to "Section 4: Operation".
SNOW THROWER AND ENGINE CONTROLS Auger is shown upside-down snowthrower when the shift handle is in any of the forward or reverse gears.
