SNOW BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a snow blower indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Snow blower exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the snow blower exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a snow blower inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a snow blower outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in snow blower exhaust.
Even if you use a snow blower correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-
backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the snow blower has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: This snow blower may emit highly flammable
and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby open flame can
lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate near open flame, heat, or any other ignition source. Do not smoke near the snow blower.
• Always operate on a firm, level surface.
• Always turn snow blower off before refueling. Allow the snow blower to cool for at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow for
expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
• If fuel spills, move the snow blower at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe clean any spilled fuel before
starting the engine.
• Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the snow blower.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: This product contains chemicals and produces exhaust known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

SNOW BLOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
1. Using a snow blower indoors can kill you in min-
utes. Only use a snow blower outside and far away from
windows, doors and vents.
2. Do not smoke near the snow blower.
3. Do not operate near open flame, heat, or flamma-
ble materials. This snow blower may emit highly flam-
mable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause
severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open
flame can lead to an explosion even if it isn’t directly in
contact with gasoline.
4. Thoroughly inspect the area where the snow blower
is to be used. Remove all doormats, newspapers, sleds,
boards, wires, extension cords, or any other foreign ob-
jects. Such objects pose a tripping hazard, or could be
thrown by the auger.
5. Maintain distance between the snow blower and
bystanders. Keep at least 75 feet away from bystand-
ers, pets, children, etc. Stop the machine if anyone en-
ters this area.
6. Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury.
Plan your snowblowing pattern to avoid discharge of
material towards roads, bystanders, windows, walls,
cars, etc.
7. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, es-
pecially when operating in reverse. Wear appropriate
footwear.
8. Wear appropriate clothing for the weather condi-
tions. Wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection, with
side shields, at all times. Do not wear jewelry, long
scarves, or loose clothing – these can become entan-
gled in moving parts. Wear hearing protection.

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. NOTE: "Amperage" below refers to the current that the starter mo-
tor draws.
1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling
on plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension
cord. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should
be protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
TIP: WEN offers 12-gauge, outdoor-rated, grounded three-wire extension cords in 50-foot and 100-foot lengths
(Model No's. PC1123 & PC5124), available for purchase at wenproducts.com.

SNOW BLOWER PREPARATION
The following section describes the necessary steps to prepare the snow blower for use. If you are unsure about
how to perform any of the steps please call 1-800-232-1195 (M-F 8-5 CST) for customer service. Failure to per-
form these steps properly can damage the snow blower or shorten its life.
STEP 1 - ADD/CHECK OIL (FIG. 10 & FIG. 11)
The user must add the proper amount of oil before operating the snow blower for the first time. The oil capacity of
the engine crankcase is 20.3 fl. oz. (0.6 L).
• 30W Engine Oil
Temperatures above 40°F.
• 10W-30 Engine Oil
Temperatures between 0°F - 40°F.
• Synthetic 5W-30 Engine Oil
All temperature ranges.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS - Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute
(API) service classifications SJ, SL, or SM (synthetic oils may be used). Select the SAE viscosity grade of oil
that matches the expected operating temperature. For general use (above 40° F), we recommend using 30W engine oil.
Good
Oil
Level
CAUTION! Keep the snow blower level. Tilting the
snow blower to assist in filling will cause oil to flow
into the wrong areas of the engine and cause dam-
age.
CAUTION! For subsequent operation, the oil level
should be checked before each use, or after every
8 hours of operation. Follow the instructions on the
next page to check the oil level.
TO ADD OIL:
1. Place the snow blower on a level
surface. Make sure the engine is OFF
before adding or checking oil.
3. Using an oil funnel or appropriate dispenser, slowly
add oil into the oil fill, being careful not to overfill the
unit. Use the dipstick to check the oil level as you fill the
tank. The oil should reach the section between the up-
per (H) and lower (L) level. Reinstall the oil dipstick and
firmly tighten it. Wipe clean any spilled oil.
TO CHECK OIL LEVEL (before every subsequent start):
1. Place the snow blower on a level surface. Make sure
the engine is OFF before adding or checking oil.
2. Remove and wipe the dipstick (A) with a clean rag.
3. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill without screwing it
in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.
4. If the oil mark does not reach the section between
the upper (H) and lower (L) mark on the dipstick, slow-
ly add oil until the oil mark reaches this section.

STEP 2 - ADD/CHECK FUEL (FIG. 12)
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: This snow blower may emit highly flammable
and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby open flame can
lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate near open flame, heat, or any other ignition source. Do not smoke near the snow blower.
• Always operate on a firm, level surface.
• Always turn the snow blower off before refueling. Allow the snow blower to cool for at least 2 minutes be-
fore removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow for
expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
• If fuel spills, move the snow blower at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe clean any spilled fuel before
starting the engine.
• Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the snow blower.
ONLY use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-
free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. The
snow blower performs best with ethanol-free gasoline.
DO NOT use gasoline with over 10% ethanol.
The capacity of the fuel tank is 0.58 gallons. Do not mix
oil with gasoline.
TO ADD GASOLINE:
1. Place the snow blower on a level surface. Make sure
the engine is OFF before adding or checking the fuel.
2. Unscrew the fuel cap (A) and set it aside. The fuel cap
may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean
any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
• Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
• Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting
difficult. Never store the snow blower for more
than 2 months with fuel in the tank.
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Never use old gasoline.
SNOW BLOWER PREPARATION
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. If you
do so, gasoline will expand and spill during use,
even with the fuel cap in place.
Fig. 12
TO CHECK GAS LEVEL (before every subsequent start):
1. Before starting the snow blower, check to see if there
is sufficient fuel inside the tank.
2. If the tank is empty or low, add gasoline to the gas
tank. See above section, "To Add Gasoline".

The fuel system on this snow blower may be affected by
operation at high altitudes. Proper operation can be en-
sured by installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than
3000 feet above sea level. At elevations above 8000
feet, the engine may experience a decrease in perfor-
mance, even with the proper altitude kit. Operating this
snow blower without said kit may increase the engine’s
emissions and decrease both fuel economy and perfor-
mance.
You can order the kit at wenproducts.com by searching
part SB24E-HA. This kit should be installed by a quali-
fied mechanic. Refer to the instructions included with
your altitude kit for more information about installation.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury from
fire, follow the kit installation procedures in a well-
ventilated area away from ignition sources. If the
engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait
for it to cool before proceeding. Do not smoke near
the snow blower. Warranty will be void if adjustments
are not made for high altitude use.
CAUTION! UNINSTALL the high altitude kit when op-
erating at altitudes below 3000 feet. Engines with the
high-altitude kit installed operated at lower altitudes
could cause severe engine damage and affect emis-
sions compliance.
After completing the above preparation, the snow blower is ready to be started.

Before starting the snow blower, make sure you have read and performed the steps in the “Snow Blower Prepara-
tion” section of this manual, pages 15-17. If you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps in this manual
please call 1-800-232-1195 (M-F 8-5 CST) for customer service.
STARTING YOUR SNOW BLOWER
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a snow blower indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Snow blower exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the snow blower exhaust, you are breathing
CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a snow blower inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT
supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a snow blower outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in snow blower exhaust.
Even if you use a snow blower correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-
backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the snow blower has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: Do not operate snow blower near open flame or flammable materials This snow blower may
emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited.
A nearby open flame can lead to explosion even if it isn’t directly in contact with gasoline. Do not smoke near
the snow blower.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR SNOW BLOWER
1. Verify that the snow blower is outside on a level sur-
face with at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides.
2. Check that there is a sufficient level of oil in the crank-
case. Add oil if necessary, see "Step 1 - Add/Check Oil
(Fig. 10 & Fig. 11)" on page 15.
3. Check that there is a sufficient level of gasoline in the
fuel tank. Add fuel if necessary, see "Step 2 - Add/Check
Fuel (Fig. 12)" on page 16.
4. Check that the chute and deflector plate are pointing
in the desired direction. Adjust the chute and deflector
if necessary, see "Step 3 - Adjust The Chute & Deflector
Plate (Fig. 13 & Fig. 14)" on page 17.

OPERATION
ADJUSTING WHEELS FOR TURNS (FIG. 25)
Your snow blower is capable of making tight turns when
snow blowing. To do this, adjust the click pins as in-
structed below.
Fig. 25
A
B
CAUTION! Use extra care when engaging the drive
system. If a wheel is disengaged, it will rotate in-
dependently of the axle, and the snow blower will
tend to pull toward that side when the drive system
is engaged (since it is only driving the other wheel).
NOTE: the auger blades are mounted to their shaft with shear pins that are designed to break if a foreign object
enters the auger housing. This is to prevent machine damage and operator or bystander injury. For information
on replacing the shear pins, see "Replacing Shear Pins (Fig. 27)" on page 24.
WARNING! NEVER run the snow blower without in-
stalling the click pin into the outermost hole of the
axle. Ensure that both click pins are present and ad-
justed appropriately.
TIP: It is best to perform these steps in the comfort
of your garage, before you’ve gone out into the cold.
1. Plan your snow blowing route. If you will be mostly
turning to the left, perform the steps below on the left
wheel; if you will mostly be turning to the right, perform
the steps on the right wheel.
2. Locate the click pin (A) on the axle. Flip the pin’s cir-
cular handle up and remove the click pin from the axle.
3. Insert the click pin into the outermost hole (B) on the
axle and flip the circular handle down. This disengages
the wheel from the axle and allows the wheel to rotate
independently, making turning much easier.
4. To re-engage a wheel with the axle, align the hole on
the hub with the hole on the axle. Insert the click pin
through the hub and the axle. Flip the circular handle
down. The wheel and axle are now re-engaged and will
rotate together.
TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE SNOW BLOWING
• Always run the engine at full throttle.
• Adjust the drive speed to the situation at hand. Let the machine do the work.
• It is easier and more efficient to remove snow immediately after it falls.
• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• Don’t use the snow blower early in the morning, if possible. You know how your neighbor Greg is about noise.
• On flat surfaces (such as concrete, asphalt, etc.), adjust the skid plates so that the bottom of the scraper bar
runs along the ground. See"Adjusting The Skid Plates (Fig. 26)" on page 22.
• On uneven surfaces (such as gravel, crushed rock, etc.) raise the scraper bar slightly above the top of the
gravel surface. Ensure that gravel and stones do not enter the auger housing, as they could cause injuries if
they are ejected.
• Clear clogs immediately, see "Clearing Clogs" on page 22.
• If the auger or drive do not engage when the handle is squeezed, release it immediately and turn the engine OFF.
22
OPERATION
ADJUSTMENTS
CLEARING CLOGS
A clearing tool is included with your snow blower and can be mounted in the clasp on the auger housing for easy
access.
1. Turn the engine OFF and wait for all moving parts (wheels, impeller, auger blades, etc.) to stop moving.
2. Use the clearing tool to clear the clog.
3. Replace the clearing tool in the clasp on the auger housing.
ADJUSTING THE SKID PLATES (FIG. 26)
The skid plate setting controls how far above the ground
the scraper bar operates. When operating on concrete,
asphalt, or other smooth surfaces, adjust the skid plate
so that the bottom of the scraper bar rides along the
ground. When operating on gravel, dirt, crushed rock, or
other uneven surfaces, adjust the skid plate so that the
bottom of the scraper bar rides just above the ground,
to prevent debris from entering the auger. Surfaces with
larger, coarser debris (e.g. larger pieces of gravel) re-
quire a more-raised scraper bar. NOTE: The skid plates
are pre-adjusted for smooth surfaces from the factory.
1. Make sure the snow blower is on a smooth, level sur-
face.
2. Place a spacer board on the ground underneath the
scraper bar, between the skid plates (A). The thickness
of the board should be the same as the height you want
to raise the scraper bar to. The skid plates should not
touch the board.
3. Use a wrench to loosen the 2 nuts (B) on each skid
plate. Let each skid plate slide down until it is flat against
the ground.
4. Tighten the nuts and remove the spacer board.
5. Ensure the skid plates are adjusted to the same height
on each side - this will prevent uneven wear.
WARNING! NEVER use your hands to clear a clog! Only use the clearing tool.
4. Run the auger for a few seconds to clear out any remaining snow or ice.
Fig. 26
ADJUSTING THE ENGINE SPEED
For maximum efficacy while snow blowing, we rec-
ommend running the engine at (or near) maximum
throttle. However, if for some reason you need to lower
the engine speed, follow the instructions below.
1. The choke lever is a combination choke/throttle le-
ver. To decrease engine speed, move the choke lever to
the right (past OPEN/RUN). To increase engine speed,
move it back toward OPEN/RUN.
2. The engine speed is at maximum when the choke le-
ver is set to OPEN/RUN.
MAINTENANCE
23
WARNING! Make sure the engine is OFF, the key is removed, all moving parts have stopped, and the snow
blower has cooled down before performing any maintenance. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
NOTE: Failure to
properly maintain
the snow blower
will void the
warranty.

TIRE MAINTENANCE
Inspect the tires after each use for wear and tear. Keep
the tires away from gasoline, oil, and other chemicals,
in order to prevent degradation of the rubber. Avoid
running over stumps, stones, ruts, glass, knives, sea
urchins, porcupines, and other sharp objects that could
damage the tires.
Maintain tire pressure. Recommended tire pressure is
20 - 24 PSI (137.9 – 165 kPa). Use a standard tire pres-
sure gauge to check tire pressure. Keep tire pressure
the same in each tire. Fill tires using a portable air com-
pressor or other compressed air source. The tires are
equipped with a Schrader valve.
WARNING! Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the
tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.
Use of other parts may be hazardous or induce product failure.
REPLACING SHEAR PINS (FIG. 27)
If a shear pin fails, it has done its job in protecting the
product from damage. Replacement shear pins and
bowtie clips can be ordered from wenproducts.com
(Part No's. SB24E-0208 and SB24E-0209, respective-
ly). Shear pins and bowtie clips are not covered under
the warranty.
To replace the the shear pins, stop the engine and wait
for the auger blades to come to a complete stop. In-
stall a new shear pin (A) and bowtie clip (B). Your snow
blower comes with two spare shear pins and two spare
bowtie clips.
SCRAPER BAR MAINTENANCE
Check the scraper bar (see page 11) for excess wear - if
it has begun to exhibit signs of severe wear, it is time
to replace it. Replacement scraper bars can be ordered
from wenproducts.com (Part No. SB24E-0329). Scrap-
er bars are a wear-out part and are not covered under
the warranty.
To replace the scraper bar, remove the four nuts and
bolts that secure the scraper bar to the auger housing.
Install the new scraper bar and replace the nuts and
bolts. Securely tighten the nuts.
WARNING! Over-inflating a tire could cause it to
burst, causing severe injury. DO NOT INFLATE TIRE
PAST 24 PSI.
CAUTION! When storing your snow blower for the
season, decrease tire pressure to 20 PSI. As spring
arrives, the air in your tires will warm up and expand,
raising the internal tire pressure. If the tire pressure
is not lowered, they could burst.
CAUTION! NEVER use an open flame (such as a
lighter, blowtorch, or flamethrower) to melt snow or
ice. Bring the snow blower to a heated area and let
the snow or ice melt on its own, or use a hairdryer
or heat gun.
NOTE: The tires are tubeless. If the air pressure is
allowed to drop too low, the tire may come off the
rim and need to be re-beaded.
IMPELLER & AUGER MAINTENANCE
Check the impeller and auger for snow, ice, and debris
before and after use. Remove any snow, ice or debris
before storing the snow blower, or starting it.
Fig. 27
MAINTENANCE
25
ADJUSTING CABLE TENSION (FIG. 28)
Over time, the auger and drive engagement cables may
lengthen. To adjust cable tension, adjust the brass lock-
ing nut (C) and then adjust the cable bottle screw (D).
SNOW BLOWER BODY MAINTENANCE
Keep the body of the snow blower clean to prevent im-
proper operation or machine damage from dirt & de-
bris. Inspect all ventilation openings on the snow blow-
er. These must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Wipe down the snow blower’s housing with a damp
cloth and mild detergent. Dry it with a towel.
NOTE: Do not clean the snow blower with water
alone – it will freeze in low temperatures and cause
machine damage. Do not allow soap or water into
the inside of your snow blower.

Fig. 29
DRIVE BELT MAINTENANCE
Periodically inspect the drive belts according to the
Recommended Maintenance Schedule on page 23.
Remove the two bolts (Fig. 29) that secure the belt cov-
er to the impeller housing. Check the belts for wear and
tear. If they are worn, frayed, stiff, or broken, they will
need to be replaced.
Replacement belts can be ordered at wenproducts.com
(Part No's. SB24E-0324 & SB24E-0606). Belts should
be replaced by an authorized service center. Contact
customer service at 1-800-232-1195, M – F, 8 – 5 CST,
the authorized service center nearest you.
SKID PLATE MAINTENANCE
Check the skid plates for excess wear - if they have
begun to exhibit signs of severe wear, it is time to
replace them. Replacement skid plates can be ordered
from wenproducts.com (Part No. SB24E-0303). Skid
plates are a wear-out part and are not covered under
the warranty.
To replace a skid plate, remove the two nuts and bolts
that secure the skid plate to the auger housing. Install
the new skid plate and replace the nuts and bolts. Se-
curely tighten the nuts.
FRICTION DISC REPLACEMENT
After a long time (>100 hours), the friction disc may
require replacement. The interval of replacement
depends on how hard the machine was run, climate,
etc. Replacement friction discs can be ordered at
wenproducts.com (Part No. SB24E-0508). Friction
discs should be replaced by an authorized service
center. Contact customer service at 1-800-232-1195,

MAINTENANCE
26
AUGER GEARBOX LUBRICATION
Lubricate the gearbox according to the Recommended
Maintenance Schedule on page 23. Use a grease gun
to apply 1.25 – 2 oz (35 – 55 g) of extreme-pressure,
NLGI grade 3, automotive bearing or chassis grease to
the grease fitting on the auger gearbox (Fig. 30). The
bearings on your snow blower are permanently lubri-
cated and require no additional lubrication.
CHECKING & CHANGING OIL
Check the oil according to the Recommended Mainte-
nance Schedule on page 23. The oil capacity of the
engine is 20.3 fl. oz. (0.6 L). Add oil when the oil level is
low. For the proper type and weight of oil refer to page
15. This is a critical step for proper engine starting. To
check the oil level and/or add oil, see "Step 1 - Add/
Check Oil (Fig. 10 & Fig. 11)" on page 15.
To change the oil:
1. Run the engine for a few minutes to warm the oil up.
Warm oil flows more easily.
2. Prepare an approved oil-storage container under-
neath the oil drain bolt (Fig. 31). NOTE: to avoid spills
from the carburetor bowl, drain the carburetor (refer
to "Draining The Carburetor" on page 2227) before
draining the oil.
3. Unscrew the oil drain bolt and allow oil to drain from
the engine completely.
4. Reinstall the oil drain bolt and tighten it securely.
Wipe clean any oil spillage.
5. To add new oil, see "Step 1 - Add/Check Oil (Fig. 10 &
Fig. 11)" on page 15.
SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
Inspect and change the spark plug every 100 hours
of operation (refer to the Recommended Maintenance
Schedule on page 23). The spark plug is important for
proper engine operation. Check the spark plug regularly
to maintain proper engine operation. A good spark plug
should be intact, free of deposits, and properly gapped.
1. Gently pull on the spark plug boot (Fig. 32 - B) to
remove it. Be careful not to tear insulation or wire.
NOTE: Never dispose of used engine oil in the trash
or down a drain. Please call a local recycling center
or auto garage to arrange proper oil disposal.
CAUTION! Never run the engine with low oil, or with
no oil. Doing so will permanently damage the engine
and void the warranty.
CAUTION! Let the muffler cool down completely be-
fore performing spark plug maintenance.
TIP: Your WEN snow blower is compatible with the
WEN 55201 Magnetic Oil Dipstick (not included),
available for purchase at wenproducts.com. The
dipstick’s industrial-strength magnetic tip will col-
lect metal shavings from your snow blower’s oil
tank to help preserve the engine and extend your
snow blower’s lifespan. Remove the oil plug & in-
stall the Magnetic Oil Dipstick.

2. Use the included spark plug wrench and handle to
unscrew the spark plug from the engine. Remove the
spark plug from the engine.
NOTE: Make sure to drain your carburetor before
storing the snow blower for long periods of time.
CAUTION! Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable
place. Never store fuel for more than 2 months.
TIP: There is limited space for the wrench to turn.
Use both rows of holes in the spark plug wrench to
gain leverage to loosen the plug.
Fig. 32
Fig. 33
3. Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked or
chipped, or if the electrodes are worn or burned, discard
it and replace with a new spark plug. We recommend
replacing it with a Torch F7RTC/NGK BPR7ES spark
plug. These can be purchased from wenproducts.com
by searching part number SB24E-2008.
4. If re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean
any dirt from around the spark plug base, then re-gap
the spark plug.
5. Measure the plug gap with a spark plug gap gauge.
The gap should be 0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.028-0.031 in).
Carefully adjust the gap if necessary. See Fig. 33.
6. Screw the spark plug back into the spark plug hole
using the spark plug wrench. Do not over-tighten spark
plug. Recommended tightening of the spark plug is ½
to ¾ of a turn after the spark plug gasket contacts the
spark plug hole, or 18.5 – 22 ft-lb torque (25 – 30 Nm).
7. Reinstall the spark plug boot over the spark plug.
DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
Drain the carburetor after every use and before storing
the snow blower (refer to the Recommended Mainte-
nance Schedule on page 23). Draining the carburetor
can help prevent build-up and blockages caused by
stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor.
1. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container un-
der the carburetor to collect the drained fuel. Make sure
the fuel valve is turned OFF.
2. The carburetor can be accessed from the left side
of the snow blower, next to the cylinder head cover. To
drain the carburetor, open up the carburetor drain screw
(Fig. 32 - A) with a Phillips-head screwdriver and drain
out any gasoline that has built up inside.
3. Once the fuel has drained, close the drain screw.

DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Drain and clean the fuel tank each year, or before storing
the snow blower for longer than two months.
1. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container un-
der the carburetor. Make sure the fuel valve is turned
OFF.
2. Remove the carburetor drain screw. Set it aside.
3. Turn the fuel valve to ON and let the fuel tank drain
completely This may take a while, depending on how
much gasoline remains in the tank.
4. Once the fuel has drained, replace the drain screw
and turn the fuel valve OFF.
5. Start and run the engine until the fuel runs out. Then,
drain the carburetor.

TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE
For transportation information, see "Transporting" on page 9.
WARNING! Avoid direct sunlight inside a vehicle. If the snow blower is left in an enclosed vehicle for many
hours, the high temperature could cause the fuel to vaporize and result in a possible explosion.
WARNING! Store the snow blower upright in a cool and dry location, away from sources of heat, open flames,
sparks or pilot lights.
Shut off the snow blower and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing it. NEVER place any type of
storage cover on the snow blower while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
Follow the procedures below for properly storing your snow blower. We highly recommend running your snow
blower once a month for 20 to 30 minutes, to ensure it is ready when you need it.
For Short Periods (30 to 60 Days):
• Drain the carburetor. Refer to "Draining The Carburetor" on
page 27.
• Add fuel stabilizer: Follow the suggested portions and
instructions of your preferred stabilizer. Run the engine for
15 to 20 minutes, allowing the fuel stabilizer to mix with the
gasoline and circulate through the carburetor, and then top
off with fuel. Filling the fuel tank full reduces the amount of
air in the tank and helps fight deterioration of fuel.
For Extended Periods (Over 60 Days):
• Drain the fuel tank and carburetor.
Refer to "Draining The Fuel Tank" and
"Draining The Carburetor" on page 27.
• Never store snow blower with fuel in
the tank for more than two months.
• Change the engine oil. Refer to
"Checking & Changing Oil" on page
26.

WEN Products is committed to building tools that are dependable for years. Our warranties are consistent with this
commitment and our dedication to quality.
LIMITED WARRANTY OF WEN PRODUCTS FOR HOME USE
GREAT LAKES TECHNOLOGIES, LLC (“Seller”) warrants to the original purchaser only, that all WEN consumer power
tools will be free from defects in material or workmanship during personal use for a period of two (2) years from date
of purchase or 500 hours of use; whichever comes first. Ninety days for all WEN products if the tool is used for pro-
fessional or commercial use. Purchaser has 30 days from the date of purchase to report missing or damaged parts.
SELLER’S SOLE OBLIGATION AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY under this Limited Warranty and, to the extent per-
mitted by law, any warranty or condition implied by law, shall be the replacement of parts, without charge, which are
defective in material or workmanship and which have not been subjected to misuse, alteration, careless handling,
misrepair, abuse, neglect, normal wear and tear, improper maintenance, improper storage, incorrect lubricants/fuels,
or other conditions adversely affecting the Product or the component of the Product, whether by accident or inten-
tionally, by persons other than Seller. To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, you must make sure to keep a
copy of your proof of purchase that clearly defines the Date of Purchase (month and year) and the Place of Purchase.
Place of Purchase must be a direct vendor of Great Lakes Technologies, LLC. Purchasing through third party vendors,
including but not limited to garage sales, pawn shops, resale shops, or any other secondhand merchant, voids the
warranty included with this product. Contact [email protected] or 1-800-232-1195 with the following
information to make arrangements: your shipping address, phone number, serial number, required part numbers,
and proof of purchase. Damaged or defective parts and products may need to be sent to WEN before the replace-
ments can be shipped out.
Upon the confirmation of a WEN representative, your product may qualify for repairs and service work. When re-
turning a product for warranty service, the shipping charges must be prepaid by the purchaser. The product must
be shipped in its original container (or an equivalent), properly packed to withstand the hazards of shipment. The
product must be fully insured with a copy of the proof of purchase enclosed. There must also be a description of the
problem in order to help our repairs department diagnose and fix the issue. Repairs will be made and the product
will be returned and shipped back to the purchaser at no charge for addresses within the contiguous United States.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO ITEMS THAT WEAR OUT FROM REGULAR USAGE OVER TIME,
INCLUDING FILTERS, SPARK PLUGS, VOLTAGE REGULATORS, BRUSHES, GASKETS, O-RINGS, WHEEL KITS, BAT-
TERIES, RECOIL STARTERS, HIGH PRESSURE HOSES, SPRAY GUNS, ETC. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL BE
LIMITED IN DURATION TO TWO (2) YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. SOME STATES IN THE U.S. AND SOME
CANADIAN PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF PROFITS) ARISING FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THIS PRODUCT. SOME
STATES IN THE U.S. AND SOME CANADIAN PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF IN-
CIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE IN THE U.S., PROVINCE TO PROVINCE IN CANADA AND FROM COUNTRY TO
COUNTRY.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO ITEMS SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CANADA
AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO. FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE WITHIN OTHER COUNTRIES, CON-
TACT THE WEN CUSTOMER SUPPORT LINE. FOR WARRANTY PARTS OR PRODUCTS REPAIRED UNDER WARRAN-
TY SHIPPING TO ADDRESSES OUTSIDE OF THE CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES, ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES
MAY APPLY.
