fire or explosion which will result in severe burns or death.

When Adding Fuel

• Turn off engine and let cool at least 2 minutes before

removing the fuel cap and adding fuel.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. To allow for the expansion

of gasoline, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank

neck.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,

heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks

or leaks. Replace if necessary.

• Use an approved fuel container.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting

engine.

When Starting Engine

• Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air clean-

er (if equipped) are in place and secured.

• Do not crank the engine with the spark plug removed.

• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, but

move the snowthrower away from the area of the spill,

and avoid creating any source of ignition, until the fuel

vapors have dissipated.

• Do not over-prime the engine. Follow the engine start-

ing instructions in this manual.

• If the engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN/

RUN position, move throttle (if equipped) to FAST

position and crank until engine starts.

This snowthrower is equipped with two height adjust skids,

secured to the outside of the auger housing. These elevate

the front of the snowthrower.

When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a

paved driveway or walk, adjust the skids up to bring the front

of the snowthrower down.

When removing snow from gravel-covered or uneven sur-

faces, raise the front of the snowthrower by moving the skids

down. This will help to prevent rocks and other debris from

being picked up and thrown by the augers.

1. Determine how much clearance you want between the

scraper bar at the bottom of the auger housing and the

ground. If clearing a gravel surface, enough ground clear-

ance is needed to prevent the unit from picking up rocks.

2. Place a block equal to the desired ground clearance

under the scraper bar.

3. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts (A, Figure 9) and

push the skid shoe (B) down until it touches the ground.

Re-tighten mounting nuts.

4. Set the skid shoe on the other side at the same height.

Reproduction

English

The traction drive belt is under constant spring tension and

does not require any adjustment. If the traction drive belt is

slipping, see your authorized dealer.

If the Easy Turn cable has stretched, the gears will not dis-

engage when the control lever is activated. Adjust the cable

using the following procedure.

1. Turn the engine off and remove the key.

2. Loosen the jam nut (A, Figure 13).

3. Turn the adjustment nut (B) to lengthen or shorten the

cable. The cable should be tightened until all slack is

removed from the lever. However, it must not engage the

Easy Turn without depressing the control lever.

4. Tighten the jam nut (A).

If the speed control rod requires adjustment, see an autho-

rized dealer.

Traction Drive Belt Adjustment

Easy Turn™ Cable Adjustment

Speed Control Rod Adjustment

1. With the auger control lever released, the hook (A, Figure

14) should barely touch the lever (B) without raising it.

There can be a maximum of 1/32” (0.8 mm) clearance.

2. To adjust, loosen the nut (C) by holding the adjustment

screw (D) and turning the nut. Then, turn the turnbuckle

and hold the adjustment screw (D). The adjustment

screw is a phillips screw and the head can be held or

turned by inserting a screwdriver through the spring.

3. Hold the screw and tighten the nut to secure.

4. To ensure that the auger does not engage unless the

control is fully depressed, please perform the Safety

System Test. The auger must stop within 5 seconds

of the control being released.

Auger Cable Adjustment

WARNING

Amputation hazard

Over-tightening the auger cable may cause the auger drive

to engage without depressing the auger drive control.

Follow the adjustment procedure to ensure the cable is not

over-tightened.

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with special shear

pins that are designed to break if an object becomes lodged

in the auger housing. Use of a harder grade shear pin will

reduce the protection provided by the shear pin.

Under most circumstances, if the auger strikes an object

which could cause damage to the unit, the shear pin will

break. This protects the gear box and other parts from dam-

age.

NOTICE

Do not replace the shear pins with anything other than the

correct grade replacement shear pin. Use of bolts, screws, or

harder grade shear pins can result in equipment damage.

Auger Shear Pin Replacement

WARNING

Amputation hazard

The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw

snow. Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic

amputation or severe laceration will result. Hand contact

with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the

most common cause of injury associated with snowthrow-

ers.

Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop, and

remove the engine key before performing any maintenance

or repairs.

The shear pins and clips (A and B, Figure 15) are located on

the auger shaft. Replace a broken shear pin as follows.

1. Tap out the broken shear pin with a pin punch.

2. Install a new shear pin and cotter pin. Bend the ends of

the cotter pin down.

Tire pressure should be checked periodically. Recommended

tire pressure varies by tire manufacturer. A good rule of

thumb is to inflate the tire up to, but not exceeding, the “Max

Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tire.

Obecná bezpečnostní varování

NEBEZPEČÍ

Nohy a ruce udržujte z dosahu rotujících částí. Rotující části

mohou přijít do kontaktu s rukama, nohama, vlasy, oděvy či

doplňky.

Nedodržení těchto bezpečnostních pokynů může vést k

amputacím či vážným laceracím.

• Při čištění, opravách či kontrolách sněhové frézy se ujistěte,

že motor je v poloze VYPN, svíčka je odpojená a všechny

pohyblivé části se zastavily.

• Pod rotující části či do jejich blízkosti nedávejte ruce nebo

nohy. Nikdy neblokujte výstup.

• Frézu nikdy nepoužívejte bez řádných krytů a jiných

ochranných pomůcek.

• Jestliže běží motor, sněhovou frézu nikdy neponechávejte

bez dozoru. Vždy deaktivujte šneka a kontrolu trakce,

vypněte motor a vyndejte klíčky.

• Udržujte všechny volné oděvy z dosahu přední části frézy

a šneku. Šály, rukavice, šňůrky a volné oděvy se mohou

rychle zachytit v rotujícím zařízení a může dojít k amputacím.

Svažte si dlouhé vlasy a sundejte šperky.

• Po ukončení odstraňování sněhu frézu nechte několik minut

běžet, aby se předešlo zamrznutí sběrače a rotoru.

• Jestliže se fréza nepoužívá nebo je převážená, deaktivujte

pohon sběrače/rotoru.

NEBEZPEČÍ

Odpadový žlab zahrnuje rotujícího šneka k odhazování sněhu.

Odpadový žlab nikdy nečistěte rukama. V rotoru může snadno

dojít k zachycení prstů. Vždy používejte čistící nástroj.

Nedodržení těchto bezpečnostních pokynů může vést k

amputacím či vážným laceracím.

VAROVÁNÍ

• Nejčastější poranění při použití sněhové frézy vznikají při

kontaktu rukou s poháněčem odpadového nosníku.

• Tato sněhová fréza je schopna amputovat ruce a nohy

a odhazovat předměty. Přečtěte si a dodržujte všechny

bezpečnostní pokyny v tomto návodu. Jestliže tak neučiníte,

může to vést ke smrti či vážným poraněním.

VAROVÁNÍ

Před spuštěním této jednotky si přečtěte, porozumějte a

dodržujte všechny pokyny na sněhové fréze a v návodu k

obsluze.

Nedodržení bezpečnostních pokynů v tomto návodu může vést

ke smrti či vážnému poranění.

• Důkladně se seznamte s ovladači a s řádným použitím

sněhové frézy.

• Ujistěte se, že před použitím sněhové frézy jste řádně

vyškoleni.
