replacing. See authorized dealer.

• If scraper bar support makes contact with the ground, the

scraper bar needs replacing. See authorized dealer.

Control Cable Adjustment

WARNING

The auger must stop within 5 seconds after the auger control is

released. If it does not, adjust the control cable. See Adjust-

ment below or contact an authorized service dealer to adjust

the control cable.

Inspection

The auger should rotate only when the auger control is engaged

and must stop within 5 seconds when the auger control is

released. If the auger does not rotate or does not stop as

described, adjust the control cable or contact an authorized

service dealer to adjust the control cable.

If the drive belt has broken, contact an authorized service dealer

to replace the belt and adjust the control cable.

Adjustment

1. Stop the engine and remove the key. See Stop the Engine.

2. Lift the cable cover (A, Figure 8) to expose the adjustment

loops (B) and the cable end fitting (C).

3. Remove the end fitting from the adjustment loop and reinstall

• If the auger rotates while the auger control is not

engaged, lengthen the control cable by installing

the end fitting in the next lowest loop (decrease belt

tension).

• If the auger does not rotate when the auger control is

engaged, shorten the control cable by installing the end

fitting in the next highest loop (increase belt tension).

NOTE: Some slack must remain in the cable when the auger

control is not engaged.

4. Lower the cable cover into place.

5. Repeat the inspection procedure above. If the auger does not

rotate or does not stop as described, contact an authorized

service dealer to have the snowthrower inspected.

Storage

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See

Maintenance.

Before Placing in Storage

1. Thoroughly clean the snowthrower.

2. Remove the sparkplug. Clean and re-gap, if necessary, or

replace the sparkplug.

3. Make sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.

4. Inspect moving parts for wear or damage. Replace parts as

necessary.

5. Lubricate the controls and moving parts.

6. Spray unpainted metal surfaces with a rust preventative.

7. Fold down the upper handle, if desired.

8. For indoor storage, cover the snowthrower and store it in a

dry area away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other

appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources.

9. For outdoor storage, raise the snowthrower off the ground and

cover it with a heavy tarpaulin.

After Removing from Storage

1. Raise the upper handle and tighten the handle knobs

securely.

2. Remove the oil dipstick and check the oil level. If necessary,

add oil until the level reaches the FULL mark on the oil

dipstick. Do not overfill.

3. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel.

4. Ensure that all guards, shields, and covers are in place and

that all fasteners are tight.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel

causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on

essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Strat-

ton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available

wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold.

For engines equipped with a FRESH START® fuel cap, use

Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® available in a drip concentrate

cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for

2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system

before storage.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabi-

lizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Then run the

engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a stabilizer in the

storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Storage

WARNING

When Storing Gasoline or Equipment With Fuel in Tank

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other

appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source

because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable

and explosive. Always handle fuel with

extreme care.

Failure to observe these safety instructions can

cause a fire or explosion which will result in

severe burns or death.

Power Ratings

The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)

code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived

at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600

RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air

cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than

net engine power and is aected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide

array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of

power equipment. This dierence is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner,

exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity,

altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of

higher rated power for this engine.
