[. . . ] WARNING: Always disconnect spark plug wire and place it where it cannot contact plug in order to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs. WARNING: This snow thrower is for use on sidewalks, driveways and other ground level surfaces. Do not use snow thrower on surfaces above ground level such as roofs of residences, garages, porches or other such structures or buildings. WARNING: Snow throwers have exposed rotating parts, which can cause severe injury from contact, or from material thrown from the discharge chute. [. . . ] When a trigger is squeezed, it disengages the drive wheel on that side of snow thrower and allows it to turn in that direction. • To turn right – squeeze right side trigger. LH TURN TRIGGER RH TURN TRIGGER FIG. 17) SELF-PROPELLING, forward and reverse movement of the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control 11 lever located on the left side handle. FIG. 19) NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be used to adjust the skid plates. Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk, place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper clearance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property damage or damage to the snow thrower. • If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface, use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position. Adjust skid plates by loosening the hex nuts, then moving skid plate to desired position. When the engine starts, release the starter button and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first, then from the engine. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature. WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the “OFF” position. Insert safety ignition key (Tied to recoil start cord) into ignition slot until it clicks. Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between 15° and 50°F. NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the primer. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter handle and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature. WARM START - RECOIL STARTER Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the “OFF” position. [. . . ] If your engine does not operate properly due to suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower to a service center/department. ENGINE SPEED Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact a service center/department, which has the proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.
