GENERAL REC OM MEN DA TIONS

The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items 

that have been sub ject ed to operator abuse or negligence.  

To receive full value from the warranty, operator must 

maintain snow thrower as in struct ed in this manual.  Some 

ad just ments will need to be made periodically to properly 

maintain your snow thrower.
At least once a season, check to see if you should make 

any of the adjustments described in the Service and Ad-

 just ments section of this manual.

At least once a year, you should replace the spark plug 

and check belts for wear.  A new spark plug will help 

your engine run better and last longer.

•  Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

 Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) 

parts to service this unit.  Failure to do so can cause the unit 

to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.
