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:  Muffler, engine and surrounding
areas become hot and can cause a burn. Do
not touch.

•

Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for 

normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted 
upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed 
snow. Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate) 
when using on gravel or crushed rock.

•

Remove snow immediately after it falls.

•

Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.

•

Slightly overlap each previous cleared path.

•

Follow the precautions found under the heading To 
Stop Engine to prevent possible freeze-up.

•

Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

WARNING:  Never attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in operator’s manual.

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by 
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to 
Chute Tilt Control in Section 4 of this manual.

If the spiral at the base of the chute directional control 
isn’t fully engaging with the notches in the lower chute 
assembly, the support bracket can be adjusted inward 
or outward as follows:

•

Loosen, but do NOT remove the two hex nuts 
which secure the chute directional control support 
bracket to the snow thrower housing. See Figure 9.

•

Adjust the support bracket inward or outward so 
that the spiral is fully engaged in the notches on the 
chute before retightening the hex nuts.

The space between the shave plate and the ground can 
be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes. Refer 
to Skid Shoe Adjustment in Section 3 of this manual.

Refer to the information found under the heading Final
Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual to adjust the

Refer to the information found under the heading Final 
Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual to adjust the 
traction control. If you are uncertain that you have 
reached the correct adjustment, proceed as follows:

•

Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on 
the auger housing.

•

Remove the frame cover underneath the snow 
thrower by removing six self-tapping screws.

With the traction control released, there must be 
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate 
in all positions of the shift lever. 

With the traction control engaged, the friction wheel 
must contact the drive plate. See Figure 10.

If adjustment is necessary:

•

Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and 
thread the cable in or out as necessary.
