reverse.

Preparation

1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and

remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.

2. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine

(motor).

3. Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter outer

garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get caught in moving parts.

4. Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.

a. Use an approved fuel container.

b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.

c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

d. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with

a plastic liner . Always place containers on the ground, away from

your vehicle, before filling.

e. When practical, remove gas--powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel

such on a trailer with a portable container , rather than from a gaso-

line dispenser nozzle.

f. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container

opening at all times, until refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle

lock--open device.

g. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.

h. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately .

5. Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufactur-

er for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.

6. Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock

surfaces.

7. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is

running (except when specifically recommended by manufacturer).

8. Let engine (motor) and snowthrower adjust to outdoor temperatures

before starting to clear snow .

9. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while

performing an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects

that may be thrown from the machine.

Operation

1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the

discharge opening at all times.

2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives,

walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire

from the spark plug, disconnect the cord on electric motors, thoroughly

inspect snowthrower for any damage, and repair the damage before

restarting and operating the snowthrower .

4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor)

and check immediately for the cause. V ibration is generally a warning

of trouble.

5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the operating position,

before unclogging the collector/impeller housing or discharge chute and

when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.

6. When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the collector/im-

peller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug

wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental

starting.

7. Do not run the engine indoors, except when starting the engine and for

transporting the snowthrower in or out of the building. Open the outside

doors; exhaust fumes are dangerous (containing CARBON MONOX-

IDE, an ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).

8. Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not attempt to

clear steep slopes.

9. Never operate the snowthrower without proper guards, plates, or other

safety protective devices in place and working.

10. Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property

damage can occur. Keep children and others away.

11. Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at

too fast a rate.

12. Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery sur-

faces. Look behind and use care when operating in reverse.

13. Disengage power to the collector/impeller when snowthrower is trans-

ported or not in use.

14. Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer

of the snowthrower (such as cabs, tire chains, etc..).

15. Never operate the snowthrower without good visibility or light. Always

be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk,

never run.

16. Never touch a hot engine or muffler.

17. Never operate the snowthrower near glass enclosures, automobiles,

window wells, drop--offs, and the like without proper adjustment of the

snow discharge angle.

18. Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in front of the

unit.

19. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disengage the auger

and traction controls, stop engine, and remove keys.

20. Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

21. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to

other people or property.

22. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved

in a large percentage of power equipment--related injuries. These

operators should evaluate their ability to operate the unit safely

enough to protect themselves and others from injury.

23. DO NOT wear long scarves or loose clothing that could become

entangled in moving parts.

the auger blades to contact the ground. The

auger should stop when auger control bar is

released. If it does not stop, see “How To Ad-

just The Auger Control Cable” in the adjust-

ment section.

2. Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished

when the snow is removed immediately after

if falls.

CAUTION: Do not overload the machine ca-

pacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast

a rate.

3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap

each previous path.

4. Whenever possible, discharge the snow

down wind.

5. The distance the snow will be discharged

can be adjusted by moving the discharge

chute deflector. Raise the deflector for more

distance or lower the deflector for less dis-

tance.

6. In windy conditions, lower the chute deflector

to direct the discharged snow close to the

ground where it is less likely to blow into un-

wanted areas.

7. For safety and to prevent damage to the

snow thrower, keep the area to be cleared

free of stones, toys and other foreign objects.

8. Do not use the auger propelling feature when

clearing gravel or crushed rock driveways.

Move the handle down to slightly raise the

auger.

9. The forward speed of the snow thrower is

dependent on the depth and weight of the

snow. Experience will establish the most ef-

fective method of using the snow thrower un-

der different conditions.

10.After each snow throwing job, allow the en-

gine to run for a few minutes. The snow and

accumulated ice will melt off the engine.

11. Clean the snow thrower after each use.

12.Remove ice, snow and debris from the entire

snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all

salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower

dry.

Dry And Average Snow

1. Snow up to eight inches deep can be re-

moved rapidly and easily by walking at a

moderate rate. For snow or drifts of a greater

depth,slow your pace to allow the discharge

chute to dispose of the snow as rapidly as

the auger receives the snow.

2. Plan to have the snow discharged in the di-

rection the wind is blowing.

Wet Packed Snow

Move slowly into wet, packed snow. If the wet,

packed snow causes the auger to slow down or

the discharge chute begins to clog, back off and

begin a series of short back and forth jabs into

the snow. These short back and forth jabs, four

to six inches, will “belch” the snow from the

chute.

Snow Banks And Drifts

In snow of greater depth than the unit, use the

same “jabbing” technique described above. Turn

the discharge chute away from the snow bank.

More time will be required to remove snow of

this type than level snow.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty

repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example,

warranty service would not apply to the product if damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling,

warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product

has been altered or modified.

This warranty covers product related defective material and/or workmanship only. To avoid misunderstanding which might occur be-

tween the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of product failure that the warranty does not cover.

x Normal Wear: Small Engine Powered Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. Warranty does not

cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of the product or part.

x Installation: This warranty does not apply to product that has been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, alteration or modification. Nor

installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance.

x Improper Maintenance: The life of this product depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Recommended

maintenance and adjustment intervals are stated in the Operator’s Manual. Often product, such as tillers, edgers, rotary mowers, are used in dusty

or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, or other abrasive material entering

the product because of improper maintenance is not covered by warranty. The warranty will not cover repairs due to problems caused by replace -

ment parts that are not original manufactured part(s).

x Incorrect and/or insufficient fuel or lubrication: This warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of stale fuel, or altered gasolines. Dam-

age to engine or engine components ie, combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, burned starter motor windings caused by use of

alternate fuels such as liquified petroleum, natural gas, are not covered unless engine is certified for this operation. Parts which are scored or bro-

ken because product was operated with insufficient, contaminated or incorrect grade of lubricating oil as well as product components damaged due

to lack of lubrication are not covered.

x Operational Misuse: Proper operation of the product is stated in the Operator’s Manual. Product damaged by overspeeding, overheating, or opera-

tion in a confined area without sufficient ventilation. Product broken by excessive vibration caused by a loose engine mounting, loose or unbalanced

blades, impellers, overspeeding, or bent crankshaft due to striking of solid object. Damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, or im-

proper servicing or freezing or chemical deterioration, as well as operating in excess of recommended capacities as outlined in the Operator’s

Manual are not covered.

x Routine tune-up, wear items or adjustments: This warranty excludes wear items such as oil, belts, blades, o-rings, filters, etc.

x Other exclusions: Repair or adjustments for part(s) that are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton Corporation, are not covered, see warranty for

respective manufacturers. This warranty excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers con-

trol. Also excluded are used, reconditioned, and demonstration products.
