SECTION 2:  ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER
Unpacking
Remove screws from the top sides and ends of the 
shipping crate.
Set panel aside to avoid tire punctures or personal 
injury.
Remove and discard plastic bag that covers unit.
Remove any loose parts included with unit (i.e., 
Operator’s Manual, etc.).
Roll unit out of crate.
Loose Parts
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two 
shear pins and cotter pins. If you hit a foreign object or 
ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins 
may shear. Two replacement shear pins and cotter pins 
are provided for your convenience. Store in a safe 
place until needed. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
IMPORTANT: 
 NEVER replace the auger shear pins with 
standard hex pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or 
other components from using standard pins will not be 
covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.
Items Required For Assembly
1.
Pair of pliers 
2.
Engine oil
3.
Fresh gasoline
Before Assembly
Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against 
the engine to prevent unintended starting. 
NOTE: All references in this manual to the left or right
side of the snow thrower is from the operating position
only. Exceptions, if any, will be specified. 
Assembling Handle
For shipping purposes, the upper handle is secured 
loosely to the lower handle with four wing nuts.
Remove the lower plastic wing nut, cupped washer 
and carriage bolt from each side of the lower 
handle. See Figure 2.
Raise the upper handle assembly until it locks over 
the lower handle. 
Look at the lower rear of the snow thrower frame to 
be sure all the cables are aligned with the cable 
roller guides. Make sure the spring (found at the 
end of each cable) is attached to its actuator 
bracket.
Secure the upper handle and lower handle with the 
two plastic wing nuts, cupped washers and carriage 
bolts previously removed. Attach these hardware 
on the lower hole in the handles. See Figure 2.
Tighten the two wing nuts already in place on the 
upper holes and secure the handles firmly. Slide 
the shift rod connector down over the end of the 
lower shift rod. Tap the connector until it locks over 
the lower shift rod. See Figure 2.
NOTE: If the connector is not properly assembled, the
shift rod will pivot and you will not be able to change
speeds or direction of movement.

Attaching Chute Directional Control
Model 1028
Remove the hairpin clip from the upper chute rod 
and slide the upper chute rod through the upper 
chute rod bracket and into the lower chute rod. A 
pair of pliers may help in this job.
Align the two holes on both chute rods and insert 
the hairpin clip removed earlier, through these 
holes. See Figure 2.
Model 1130
Adjust the eyebolt on the chute directional control 
so the rod does not come into contact with the 
engine by moving the hex nut against the handle (if 
necessary). Retighten the wing nut to secure the 
directional control in this position.
