10 Features, Controls, & Operation CONTR OL LOCA TIONS The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, and driving require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
Features & Controls 11 Fuel Fuel tank filler cap (see illustration). Note: The fuel shut off valve is located under the fuel tank or on the front of the engine. Close the valve when the snowthrower is not in use. Open the valve before starting. Primer Button When pressed, the primer button provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine.
Operation 12 GENERAL OPERA TION CHECKS BEFORE EA CH ST ART -UP 1. Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts, bolts and clips are secure. 2. Check to make sure that the clean-out is attached to the auger housing. Do not operate the machine with- out the clean-out tool properly stored on the auger housing.
Operation 13 ST ARTING CONTR OLS See Figure 1 for the following instructions. Electric Start A. Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter han- dle.
Operation 14 5. When BOTH levers are depressed, the Free-Hand™ Control is activated. This allows Auger Engage Control to be released — YET AUGER ROTATION WILL CONTINUE — until the Free-Hand™ Control is released. 6. Select forward or reverse speeds as needed using the Speed Selector (A, Figure 2).
Operation 15 GR OUND SPEED SELECT OR Use the speed selector (A, Figure 2) to control the drive speed of the snowthrower. There are five forward speeds and two reverse speeds. Use the lower speeds to blow deep or wet snow. Use the higher speeds to blow light snow or to drive the snow- thrower without blowing snow.
Operation 16 EASY TURN™ FREEWHEELING AND TRA CTION DRIVE LOCK While Clearing Snow: For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn™ lever (Figure 5). Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the left traction wheel but allows the right wheel to continue driving (Figure 5).
Operation 17 AFTER EA CH USE Normal use of the snowthrower may result in a build-up of packed snow in and around the starter cord housing and around engine controls.
18 Regular Maintenance A UGER GEAR CASE LUBRICA TION 1. Place the snowthrower on a level surface. 2. Remove the pipe plug (A, Figure 8). 3. Check the lubricant level. It should be level with the lower edge of the plug opening. If not, add Benalene grease.
LUBRICA TION Remove wheels and grease axles once each year. Apply 5W-30 synthetic motor oil to the friction disk drive hex shaft (A, Figure 10). Apply medium weight (10W) oil to points shown (See Figures 9-12). Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where contact is made with other parts.
Regular Maintenance 20 CHECK / LUBRICA TE FREE-HAND LINKA GE Check the function of the Free-Hand controls: the con- trols should function as described in the CONTROLS section. It is critical for the safe operation of the unit that the controls disengage when released.

22 T roubleshooting, Adjustments, Service W ARNING Before performing any adjustment or service to snowthrower, stop the engine and wait for moving parts to stop. Remove the key. To prevent accidental starting, disconnect the spark plug wire and fasten away from the plug.
T roubleshooting 23 PROBLEM POSSIBLE CA USE REMED Y Auger rotates, but snow is not thrown far enough 1. Chute deflector too low. 1. Adjust deflector as necessary. 2. Engine speed too slow. 2. Set speed to full throttle. 3. Ground speed too fast. 3. Use slower speed selector setting.
Adjustments 24 A UGER DRIVE ADJUSTMENT 1. Check that the auger cable (A, Figure 15) is on top of cable button (B) as show in Figure 15. 2. With the drive lever released, the hook (B, Figure 16b) should barely touch the lever (C) without raising it. There can be a maximum 1/32” clearance as shown.
Adjustments 25 Note: If the cable is too slack the unit will not drive. If the cable is too tight the drive will be engaged without push- ing the handles down. 4. Slide the cable boot (A) over the cable adjustment bracket. Run-In Adjustment ALL MODELS 1.
