Troy-Bilt 10030 Manual De Usuario

Recoil Starter: With engine running, pull starter 
rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three 
or four times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a 
loud clattering sound, which is normal.

•

Move throttle control to “stop” or “off” position.

•

Remove ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect 
the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent 
accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

NOTE:  Keep it in a safe place. Engine will not start
without ignition key.

•

Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor 
cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move 
control levers back and forth several times.

•

With the engine running near top speed, move the 
shift lever into one of the six FORWARD positions 
or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed 
appropriate for the snow conditions that exist. 

NOTE:  Use slower speeds in higher snow, and until
you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

•

Squeeze the traction control against the right 
handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it 
and the drive motion will stop.

 NEVER move the shift lever without first 

releasing the traction control. Doing so will cause 
premature wear on the drive system’s friction wheel.

•

To engage augers and start snow throwing, 
squeeze the auger control against the left handle.

•

To disengage power to the augers, release both the 
auger control and the traction control, if engaged. 

The auger control can be locked so you can turn the 
electric chute directional control without interrupting the 
snow throwing process.

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
The engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.

•

For efficiency in job, remove snow immediately 
after it falls.

•

Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. 

•

Slightly overlap each previous path.

•

Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for 
normal usage. Adjust it upward for hard-packed 
snow and downward when using on gravel or 
crushed rock.

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the 
rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. Never 
use your hand to clean a clogged chute or chute 
opening; use this clean-out tool instead.

•

Release both the auger control lever and the 
traction/auger control lock lever.

•

Stop the engine by removing the ignition key. 

•

Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which 
secures it to the rear of the auger housing. See 
Figure 7.

•

Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to 
remove any snow and ice in the discharge chute.

•

Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on 
the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.

•

While standing in the operator’s position (behind 
the snow thrower), engage the auger clutch lever 
for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow or 
ice from the discharge chute before continuing to 
clear snow.

The temperature of the muffler 

and the surrounding areas may exceed 150

°

F. 

Avoid these areas.
