Using the Wheel-Clutch Levers The wheel-clutch levers allow you to momentarily disengage the drive to one or both wheels with the traction-drive lever still engaged. This enables you to turn and maneuver the machine easily.

Note: Holding down the traction lever against the handle engages the traction drive to both wheels.

To turn the machine to the right, lift up on the right wheel-clutch lever and squeeze it toward the handle (Figure 33).

Figure 33

Note: This disengages the drive to the right wheel while the left wheel continues driving, and the machine turns to the right.

Note: Similarly, squeezing the left wheel-clutch lever turns the machine to the left.

When you complete the turn, release the wheel-clutch lever, and the drive re-engages both wheels (Figure 34).

Figure 34

Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right wheel-clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments to keep the machine going in a straight line, especially in deep snow.

Squeezing both wheel-clutch levers simultaneously disengages the drive to both wheels. This enables you to manually move the machine backward without stopping to shift it into a reverse gear. It also allows you to maneuver and transport the machine more easily when the engine is not running.

Operating the Speed Selector The speed selector has 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. To change speeds, release the traction lever and shift the speed-selector lever to the desired position (Figure 35). The lever locks in a notch at each speed selection.

Figure 37

Moving the Discharge Chute Hold the blue trigger cap down and move the Quick Stick to the left to move the discharge chute to the left; move the Quick Stick to the right to move the discharge chute to the right (Figure 38).

Figure 38

If the chute does not move, refer to Adjusting the Discharge-Chute Latch (page 23).

If the chute does not turn as far to the left as it does to the right, ensure that the cable is routed to the inside of the handles. Refer to 1 Installing the Upper Handle (page 6).

If the chute does not lock into place when you release the trigger cap, refer to Adjusting the Discharge-Chute Latch (page 23).

Moving the Chute Deflector Hold the blue trigger cap down and move the Quick Stick forward to lower the chute deflector; move it rearward to raise the chute deflector (Figure 39).

Figure 39

Unclogging the Discharge Chute

WARNING If the auger/impeller is running but there is no snow coming out of the discharge chute, the discharge chute may be clogged.

Never use your hands to clear a clogged discharge chute. This could result in personal injury.

To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the operating position and release the left (traction) lever. While running the auger/impeller, push down on the handles to raise the front of the machine a few centimeters (inches) off the pavement. Then lift the handles quickly to bump the front of the machine on the pavement. Repeat if necessary until a stream of snow comes out the discharge chute.

If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by bumping the front of the machine, shut off the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and use the snow-cleanout tool; never use your hand.

Important: Unclogging the discharge chute by bumping the front of the machine on the pavement may cause the skids to move. Adjust the skids and tighten the skid bolts securely.

Operating Tips DANGER

When the machine is in operation, the impeller and auger can rotate and cut off or injure hands and feet. Before adjusting, cleaning, inspecting,

troubleshooting, or repairing the machine, shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and keep it away from the plug to prevent someone from accidentally starting the engine.

Remove an obstruction from the discharge chute; refer to Unclogging the Discharge Chute (page 17). If necessary, use the snow-cleanout tool, not your hands, to remove an obstruction from the discharge chute.

Stay behind the handles and away from the discharge opening while operating the machine.

Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of your body or clothing away from concealed, moving, or rotating parts.

WARNING The impeller can throw stones, toys, and other foreign objects and cause serious personal injury to you or bystanders. Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects

that the augers could pick up and throw. Keep all children and pets away from the area

of operation.

Always set the throttle to the FAST position when throwing snow.

If the engine slows down under a load or the wheels slip, shift the machine into a lower gear.

If the front of the machine rides up, shift the machine into a lower gear. If the front continues to ride up, lift up on the handles.

After Operation Safety Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a

building where ignition sources are present, such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

When storing the machine for more than 30 days, refer to Storage (page 25) for important details.

Preventing Freeze-up after Use In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving

parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty operating any control or part, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.

After using the machine, let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing. Engage the auger/impeller to clear any remaining snow from inside the housing. Rotate the Quick Stick to prevent it from freezing. Shut off the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove all ice and snow from the machine.

With the engine off, pull the recoil-start handle several times and push the electric-start button once to prevent the recoil starter and electric starter from freezing up.

Maintenance Safety Read the following safety precautions before performing any maintenance on the machine:

Before performing any maintenance, service, or adjustment, shut off the engine and remove the key. If major repairs are ever needed, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure that the machine is in safe working condition.

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

Do not change the governor settings on the engine.

Purchase only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.

Preparing for Maintenance 1. Move the machine to a level surface.

2. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

3. Disconnect the spark-plug wire. Refer to Replacing the Spark Plug (page 23).

Checking the Engine-Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or dailyCheck the

engine-oil level and add oil if necessary.

1. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, then fully install the dipstick.

2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 40). If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil. Refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page 22).

Checking and Adjusting the Skids and Scraper Service Interval: YearlyCheck the skids and scraper and

adjust them if necessary.

Check the skids to ensure that the auger does not contact the paved or gravel surface. Adjust the skids as needed to compensate for wear.

1. Check the tire pressure. Refer to 7 Checking the Tire Pressure (page 10).

2. Loosen the nuts that secure both skids to the auger sides until the skids slide up and down easily (Figure 41).

Figure 41

1. 1.3 cm (1/2 inch)

3. Support the side plates so that they are at least 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) above a level surface.

Important: The auger blades must be supported above the ground by the skids.

4. Ensure that the scraper is 3 mm (1/8 inch) above and parallel to a level surface.

Note: If the pavement is cracked, rough, or uneven, adjust the skids to raise the scraper. For gravel surfaces, adjust the skids further down to prevent the machine from picking up rocks.

5. Move the skids down until they are even with the ground.

6. Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids to the auger sides.

Note: To quickly adjust the skids if they loosen, support the scraper 3 mm (1/8 inch) off the pavement, then adjust the skids down to the pavement.

Note: If the skids become excessively worn, you can turn them over and set the unused side toward the pavement.

Checking and Adjusting the Traction Cable Service Interval: After the first 2 hoursInspect the

traction cable and adjust it if necessary.

YearlyInspect the traction cable and adjust or replace it if necessary.

If the machine does not drive in the forward or reverse speeds or it drives when you release the traction lever, adjust the traction cable.

With the traction lever disengaged, check the pin in the elongated slot in the left side of the machine above the tire. There should be a gap of 1 to 1.5 mm (1/32 to 1/16 inch) from the front of the slot to the front edge of the pin (Figure 42).
