SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER
NOTE: This Operator’s Manual covers several models.
Snow thrower features vary by model. Not all
features discussed in this manual are applicable to all
snow thrower models.
Unpacking From Carton
• Cut along corners of the carton and lay it down flat.
Remove packing material.
• Remove any loose parts included with unit (i.e.,
operator’s manual, etc.).
• Roll unit out of carton. Check carton thoroughly for
any remaining loose part.
Items Required For Assembly
1. Engine oil
2. Fresh gasoline
Before Assembly
WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug wire
and ground it against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
Positioning the Upper Handle
Making sure not to pinch the cable in the
process, pivot the upper handle into the
operating position as illustrated until it clicks
into place.
Tighten the wing knobs to secure the handle in
place.
Assembling the Discharge Chute
For shipping reasons, the snow thrower has
been packaged with the upper chute pivoted all
the way down. To pivot it upward, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the chute until the chute opening is facing
straight ahead.
2. Remove the wing knob, flat washer and carriage
bolt from the lower chute.
3. Pivot the upper chute upward over the lip on the
lower chute so that there is NO gap between the
upper chute and the lower chute.
4. Resecure with the hardware just removed.
CAUTION: Do not use the Chute
Handle to lift the machine.
