Safety Instructions
All Operators Must Read These
Instructions Before Use
Any electrical appliance can be dangerous if used
incorrectly. Some of the safety precautions given in this
manual apply generally to many appliances. Other warnings
are specic to the use of this snow thrower. Keep this manual
for future reference.
General Safety WARNINGS!
You and any other operator of this snow thrower must read,
understand, and follow these instructions in their entirety, and
should reread them at the start of each snow season. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in ELECTRIC SHOCK,
FIRE, and/or serious PERSONAL INJURY.
Notice the personal safety alert symbol
m used in this
manual to draw your attention to a WARNING given along
with the particular operating instruction. This means that
the operation requires special ATTENTION, CAUTION,
and AWARENESS.
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark areas
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate the snow thrower in an explosive
atmosphere, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Electrical appliances create sparks
that may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the
work area. Be aware that the normal noise of the
machine when turned on may make it dicult for you to
hear approaching people. Spectators should wear safety
glasses and be kept a safe distance away from the work
area. Do not let spectators touch the snow thrower or the
extension cord.
4. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded appliances. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
(i.e. upper and lower water pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerators, microwave ovens, and outer frames of
heating equipment). Take necessary precautions to avoid
electric shock. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not abuse the cord. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Never carry the snow
thrower by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from
the electrical outlet. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
7.
Replace or properly repair damaged cords. If the cord
becomes damaged in any manner while plugged into the
wall receptacle, immediately pull the extension cord plug
from the receptacle.
8.
Contact with water while operating the snow thrower
can result in electric shock and serious bodily injury.
Do not use the snow thrower in damp or wet locations or
expose to rain. Do not handle the plug or the appliance
with wet hands or while standing in water.
9.
mWARNING – Use outdoor extension cords marked
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
10. Turnothepowerswitchanddisconnectthepower
cable before making any adjustments to the unit and
before inspecting, servicing, changing accessories, or
cleaning the snow thrower. Follow the same procedure
if any other dangerous conditions are present during
operation. Any adjustments to the unit should be
performed after revolving parts inside the snow thrower
stop completely. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
11. Ifyoundthemainpowercableortheextensioncable
damaged, please pull out the plug from the socket and
disconnect the power immediately. Repair the cable or
replace it if necessary.
12. When replacing any parts, you must strictly observe
the instructions and procedures described in this
operator's manual. Special care should be paid to any
rubber parts, since these parts may increase the engine
load and decrease its mechanical power if damaged.
13. Do not move or transport the snow thrower when the

14. If, during use, you notice that the unit runs unstably
or hear abnormal sounds from the motor, stop the
machine, disconnect the power immediately and
contact Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment
(855) 944-3571.
Electrical Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
the snow thrower. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make 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.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
Use this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or
ETL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use.
The appliance plug will t into a polarized extension
cord only one way.
If the appliance plug does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The
extension cord plug will t into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, use the on-board cord
restraint hook and/or make a knot with the two cords as
shown in Table 1.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the snow thrower by the
cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

Moving the Machine + Plowing the Snow
mWARNING! Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by the
snow thrower, causing serious personal injury.
Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before
operating the snow thrower.
1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can
become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a thorough
inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden
from view by surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits
an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snow thrower, disconnect the extension cord,
remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage.
Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and
operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of
operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine
when turned on may make it dicult for you to hear
approaching people.
3. When moving the snow thrower, use the wheels on one
side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow thrower on
this pivot point to move it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and
work outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion.
To clear in the opposite direction, step over the cord
and pivot the snow thrower on its wheels. Make sure to
overlap clearing paths.
5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same
direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown
against the wind (and thus back into your face and onto
the just cleared path).
6. While moving the snow thrower, do not drag the power
cable violently or roughly. The snow thrower should move
within the range that the cable can reach.
7. Do not push the snow thrower with excessive force.
You should push the machine gently and evenly in
accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
8. Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine
since this may cause engine damage.
9. Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under extreme
temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the
snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while
the snow thrower is in use, stop the snow thrower, unplug
the extension cord, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all
parts before restarting or operating the snow thrower.
Never force controls that have frozen.
10. When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces,
avoid throwing loose surface material along with the snow
by pushing down on the handle to raise the scraper bar at
the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
11. For larger areas, a denite pattern of operation is required
to thoroughly clean an area of snow. These patterns
will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places, a well as
eliminate the need for a second removal of snow (Fig. 20).
Pattern A: Throw the snow to the right or left side where
it is possible. For areas such as a long driveway, it is
advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from one end to
the other, throwing snow to both sides.
Pattern B: If the snow can only be thrown to one side of
the area to be cleared, start on the opposite side.

Changing Throw Direction +
Throw Height
mWARNING! Never direct the discharge chute at the
operator, at bystanders, at vehicles, or at nearby windows.
The discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked
up by the snow thrower can cause serious damage and
personal injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite direction
from where you, bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or windows
are located.
NOTE: The chute crank shaft rotation is sti in the rst initial
use. It will loosen with use.
1. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by
rotating the chute crank. Rotate the chute control crank
clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left (Fig. 21)
and counterclockwise to move the chute to the right
(Fig. 22).
2. The chute deector on the top of the discharge chute
controls the height of the snow stream. Loosen the knob
to raise or lower the deector to the desired height of
snow you wish to throw. Tighten the knob to secure the
deector (Fig. 23).
mWARNING! Make sure that the chute deector snaps
and locks completely onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the chute deector may
allow foreign objects to be picked up by the snow thrower
and thrown in the direction of the operator causing serious
boldly injury.
Do not advance the chute deector too far forward
causing an opening to appear between the deector and
discharge chute.
Do not overtighten the knobs on the chute deector.

8. For the user's safety, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced. Replace with original replacement parts only.
Parts from another snow thrower may not t properly,
causing an unsafe situation.
Replacing the Rubber Plates
NOTE: When replacing worn rubber plates, pay close attention
to carefully distinguish between the coarse and smooth side
of the plates. Place the coarse side inside and the smooth
side outside.
1. Detach the worn rubber plate assembly by removing the
four sets of nuts and bolts used to secure it to the auger
assembly (Figs. 24 – 25).
2. Loosen the middle two sets of nuts and bolts to detach
the worn rubber plate from the metal frame (Fig. 26).
3. Attach the new rubber plate onto the metal frame by
replacing and tightening the middle four sets of nuts and
bolts (Fig. 26).
4. Reassemble the rubber plate assembly to the auger
assembly by replacing and tightening the two sets of nuts
and bolts used to secure it (Figs. 24 – 25).

Replacing the Scraper Bar
1. The scraper bar is located at the base of the snow thrower
beneath the rotor housing (Fig. 27).
2. Detach the worn scraper bar from the snow thrower by
removing the 3 screws that hold it in place (Fig. 28).
3. Install the new scraper bar and fasten it securely to the
snow thrower with the 3 screws (Fig. 28).
Replacing the Belt + Pulley
NOTE: Determine the left and right hand side of the
snow thrower by standing behind the unit in the normal
operating position.
1. Remove the screws from the left panel of the snow
thrower and remove the left panel (Fig. 29).
2. Lift the belt tension pulley and roll the worn belt up and o
the big pulley from the top of the big pulley (Fig. 30).
3. To replace the big pulley, remove the screw and washer
from the middle of the pulley. While securing the auger
so it does not spin, use a 7/8-inch socket to turn the
outer nut of the pulley clockwise (the pulley is left-handed,
so loosening and tightening occur in reverse orientation;
clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten).
Once the old pulley is removed, replace the big pulley
and tighten the outer nut counterclockwise with the
7/8-inch socket. Replace and tighten the screw and
washer (Fig. 31).
NOTE: Heavy wet snow puts a load on belts, thus
requiring more frequent belt replacement.
4. To install the new belt, lift the belt tension pulley and roll
the new belt onto the small pulley at an angle. Then roll
the belt onto the top of big pulley by rotating the big pulley
counterclockwise as the belt grips the top of the big pulley
(Fig. 32).

5. Replace the left panel of the snow blower with all screws
(Fig. 29).
Replacing the Skid Shoes
The skid shoes are located at the bottom of the side panels.
Unfasten the two screws on the side panel to remove the worn
skid shoes (Fig. 33). Install the replacement by fastening it to
the side panel with the same two screws.
Automatic Reset
The snow thrower has built-in automatic reset functions. In the
event of a major obstruction that halts auger movement, simply
unplug your unit, clear the auger obstruction, wait 60 seconds,
and then resume use of your machine.
Storage
1. Allow the engine to cool completely before cleaning,
storing, or transporting the snow thrower. Be
sure to secure the unit while transporting.
2. Disconnect the extension cord from the snow thrower.
Inspect the extension cord closely for signs of wear or
damage. Replace it if it is worn or damaged.
3. Inspect the snow thrower carefully for worn, loose, or
damaged parts. Check connections and screws and tighten
if necessary. For repairing or replacing parts, contact
Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment (855) 944-3571.
4.
Store the unit, along with the disconnected extension
cord, in a locked, dry place out of the reach of children to
prevent unauthorized use or damage.
