SECTION2: ASSEMBLINGYOURSNOWTHROWER
Unpacking
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.
LooseParts
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.

IMPORTANT: 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.
ItemsRequiredForAssembly
1. Pair of pliers
2. Engine oil
3. Fresh gasoline
BeforeAssembly
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.
AssemblingHandle
For shipping purposes, the upper handle is secured
loosely to the lower handle with four wing nuts.
Remove the lower plastic wing nut, saddle 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, saddle 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
speed or direction of movement of the equipment.

Remove the hairpin clip from the upper chute crank
and slide the upper chute crank 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 chute cables
(running from the handle panel to the discharge
chute) into the cable guide located on top of the
engine. See Figure 3.
