Operation

Note: Deter mine the left and right sides of the mac hine

from the nor mal operating position.

Gasoline is extr emel y ﬂamma ble and explosi v e. A

ﬁr e or explosion fr om gasoline can bur n y ou and

other s.

• T o pr ev ent a static charge fr om igniting the

gasoline, place the container and/or sno wthr o w er

on the g r ound bef or e ﬁlling , not in a v ehicle or

on an object.

• Fill the tank outdoor s when the engine is cold.

W ipe up spills.

• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or ar ound

an open ﬂame or spar ks.

• Stor e gasoline in an appr o v ed fuel container , out

of the r each of childr en.

Mixing the Gasoline and Oil

T his sno wthro w er uses a 50:1 g asoline-to-oil mixture . Use

T or o 50:1 2-Cy cle Oil (Fuel Sta biliz er Added) or an

equi v alent high-g rade , NMMA TCW -cer tiﬁed tw o-cycle oil.

Important: T o pr ev ent engine dama ge, do not use

automoti v e oil (such as SAE 30 or 10W30) or fuel mix ed

at the wr ong gasoline-to-oil ratio.

1. P our a half US g allon (1.9 liters) of fresh, unleaded

g asoline into an appro v ed fuel container .

2. Add tw o-cycle oil to the g asoline according to the c har t

belo w ( Figure 10 ):

Figure 10

50:1 Gasoline-to-Oil Ratio Mixing Chart

Gasoline Oil

1 US gallon (3.8 liters) 2.6 ounces (80 ml)

2 US gallons (7.6 liters) 5.2 ounces (160 ml)

3. Install the cap on the fuel container .

4. Shak e the container to mix the g asoline and oil

thoroughly .

5. Slo wly remo v e the cap and add the remaining amount

of g asoline .

Note: Do not mix g asoline and oil in the fuel tank. Oil

at room temperature mix es easier and more thoroughly

than cold oil. Oil belo w 32°F (0°C) requires additional

mixing .

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fill the fuel tank with a fresh mixture of g asoline and oil

mix ed at the proper ratio ( Figure 11 ).

Figure 11

Starting the Engine

3. Fir mly push in the primer 2 times with y our thumb ,

holding the primer in for a second before releasing it

eac h time .

4. Hold the sno wthro w er handle with one hand and pull

the recoil star ter vig orously with the other hand.

5. With the engine r unning, mo v e the c hok e lev er to the

Preventing Freeze-up after Use

• Let the engine r un for a few min utes to prev ent mo ving

par ts from freezing . Stop the engine , w ait for all

mo ving par ts to stop , and remo v e ice and sno w from

the sno wthro w er .

• With the engine off , pull the recoil star ter handle

sev eral times and push the electric star t button once

(if applicable) to prev ent the recoil and electric star ters

from freezing up .

Operating Tips

T he r otor blades can thr o w stones, toys, and other

f or eign objects and cause serious per sonal injur y to

the operator or to bystander s.

• K eep the ar ea to be clear ed fr ee of all objects that

the r otor blades could pick up and thr o w .

• K eep all childr en and pets a w ay fr om the ar ea

of operation.

• R emo v e the sno w as soon as possible after it falls .

• T o self-propel, raise the handle and tilt the sno wthro w er

slightly forw ard, lifting the wheels off the g round.

T he more y ou tilt the handle forw ard, the faster the

sno wthro w er self-propels .

• If the sno wthro w er does not propel itself forw ard on

slipper y surfaces or in hea vy sno w , push forw ard on

the handle , but allo w the sno wthro w er to w ork at its

o wn pace .

• Ov erlap eac h sw ath to ensure complete sno w remo v al.

• Disc harg e the sno w do wnwind whenev er possible .

• In sno wy and cold conditions , some controls and

mo ving par ts ma y freeze . Do not use ex cessi v e f orce

when tr ying to operate fr oz en contr ols. If y ou ha v e

difﬁculty operating any control or par t, star t the engine

and let it r un for a few min utes .

Storage

Storing the Snowthrower

Gasoline fumes ar e highl y ﬂamma ble, explosi v e, and

danger ous if inhaled. If y ou stor e the pr oduct in an

ar ea with an open ﬂame, the gasoline fumes may

ignite and cause an explosion.

Do not stor e the sno wthr o w er in a house (li ving

ar ea), basement, or an y other ar ea wher e ignition

sources may be pr esent, such as hot w ater and space

heater s, clothes dr y er s, fur naces, and other lik e

appliances.

Important: Stor e the sno wthr o w er in its operating

position and on its wheels. Storing the sno wthr o w er on

its fr ont housing may cause hard star ting .

1. Add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel in the fuel

tank as directed.

Note: If y ou use T oro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel

Stabilizer Added) , y ou do not need to add a fuel

stabilizer/conditioner .

2. R un the engine for 5 min utes to distribute the

conditioned fuel through the fuel system.

3. Stop the engine and allo w it to cool.

4. Use a hand pump to pump the fuel from the fuel tank

into an appro v ed fuel container , or r un the engine until

it stops .

5. Star t the engine and r un it until it stops .

6. Chok e or prime the engine , star t it a third time , and r un

the engine until it will not star t.

7. Slo wly pull the recoil star ter until y ou feel resistance due

to compression pressure , then stop .

8. R elease the star ter tension g radually b y allo wing the

rope to g o bac k slo wly to prev ent the engine from

rev ersing due to compression pressure .

9. Dispose of un used fuel properly . R ecycle it according to

local codes , or use it in y our automobile .

Note: Do not store stabilized fuel for more than 90

da ys .

10. Tighten all loose screws , bolts , and loc kn uts . R e pair or

re place any damag ed par ts .

11. Clean the sno wthro w er thoroughly .

12. Co v er the sno wthro w er and store it in a clean, dr y place

out of the reac h of c hildren. Allo w the engine to cool

before storing it in any enclosure .

Folding the Handle

1. R emo v e the loc kn ut from the rear of the disc harg e

c hute .

2. F old the disc harg e c hute do wn and install the loc kn ut

tightly onto the bolt at the rear of the disc harg e c hute

handle ( Figure 17 ).
