Auger Control Test
Perform the following test before
IMPORTANT:
operating your snow thrower for the first time and at the
start of each winter season.
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
•
When the auger control is released and in the
disengaged "up" position, the cable should have
very little slack. It should NOT be tight.
•
In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower
engine as instructed earlier in this section under the
heading Starting the Engine. Make sure the throttle is
set in the FAST position.
•
While standing in the operator's position (behind
the snow thrower), engage the auger.
•
Allow the auger to remain engaged for
approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing
the auger control. Repeat this several times.
•
With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit)
position and the auger control in the disengaged
"up" position, walk to the front of the machine.
•
Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows NO signs of motion.
If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating,
IMPORTANT:
immediately return to the operator's position and shut
off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before
re-adjusting the auger control.
•
To readjust the control cable, loosen the hex jam
nut on the auger control cable "Z" fitting.
•
Rotate the coupling end of the cable (without
turning the cable) counterclockwise to provide
more slack.
•
Retighten the hex jam nut. See Figure 11.
•
Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper
adjustment has been achieved.
To Throw Snow
CAUTION: Check the area to be cleared for foreign
objects. Remove, if any.
1. Start the engine following starting instructions.
2. Rotate the discharge chute to the desired position,
(away from bystanders and/or buildings) by moving
the chute control.
3. Select the speed according to snow condition.
CAUTION: Never move the shift lever without first
releasing the drive clutch.
4. Engage the auger control and drive control levers
as previously stated.
Cable Should
Be Straight
5. The interlock feature will allow you to remove your
left hand from the auger control lever.
6. When clearing the first pass through the snow,
control speed of snow thrower according to the
depth and condition of snow.
7. On each succeeding pass, readjust the chute to the
desired positon and slightly overlap previous path.
8. After the area is cleared, stop the snow thrower
following instructions given below.
Operating Tips
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
as the engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
WARNING:
surrounding areas may exceed 150
these areas.
•
For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
•
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
•
Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward for hard-packed snow.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury or
damage to the snow thrower.
•
If for some reason, you have to operate the snow
thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest
position for maximum clearance between ground
and shave plate.
•
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
