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 qualied 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.

when turned on may make it dicult 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

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 denite 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.

controls the height of the snow stream. Loosen the knob
to raise or lower the deector to the desired height of
snow you wish to throw. Tighten the knob to secure the
deector (Fig. 23).
mWARNING! Make sure that the chute deector snaps
and locks completely onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the chute deector 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 deector too far forward
causing an opening to appear between the deector and
discharge chute.
• Do not overtighten the knobs on the chute deector.

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.
