•

Remove staples from the top, sides, and ends of 
the shipping crate.

•

Set panels aside to avoid tire punctures or personal 
injury.

•

Remove and discard plastic bag that covers unit.

•

Roll the unit out of the crate.

•

Check the crate for loose parts before discarding.

•

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with two 
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a foreign 
object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so 
that the bolts may shear. Two replacement shear 
bolts and nuts are provided for your convenience. 
See Figure 1. Store these safely until needed.  

 NEVER replace the auger shear bolts 

with standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger 
gearbox or other components from using standard bolts 
will not be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.

•

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. 

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.

•

Remove the hairpin clip from the upper chute crank 
and slide the upper chute crank through the upper 
chute crank bracket and into the lower chute crank. 
A pair of pliers may help in this job.

•

Align the two holes on both chute cranks and insert 
the hairpin clip removed earlier, through these 
holes. See Figure 2.

•

If not already attached, slip the cables that run from 
the handle panel to the discharge chute into the 
cable guide located on top of the engine. See 
Figure 3.
