Resumen del manual
This two-stage Thrower will do a great job of clearing snow from your drives and walks on the rear engine Rider which not only provides weight on the rear drive wheels for excellent traction but gives you good forward visibility. This manual covers the recommended procedures for operating the unit as a snow thrower plus detailed instructions for converting the Rider to and from the mower mode as the seasons change. Before operating in the snow thrower mode, be sure to read the important safety instructions on the inside page of this manual. When converting back to the mower mode at the end of the snow season, review the important safety instructions and other information in the Riding Mower Operator’s Manual (Snapper #1-2629).

PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN 1. DO NOT allow children in area when Snow Thrower is being operated. 2. DO NOT allow pre-teen children to operate the Snow Thrower. 3. DO NOT allow irresponsible teenagers to operate the machine — allow teenager only if exhibiting mature judgment and then only after thorough instruction and under close supervision of an experienced operator. PREPARATION 1. Read this manual, get to know where all controls are located and practice how to use them before starting for the first time and at the beginning of each season. Pay attention to Decals on the Rider and snow thrower. 2. Wear protective clothing including face mask in extreme cold and boots which will give you maximum footing on slippery surfaces. 3. Before the first snow fall, check the area to be cleared and remove all objects such as doormats, sticks, toys, wires, rocks, etc., which could be hurled or jam the snow thrower. 4. Survey the area to be cleared beforehand and plan where snow is to be blown. Be prepared to release blower clutch or to change deflector quickly to discharge away from windows, cars, buildings and doorways to avoid property damage or personal injury from hurled objects. 5. Adjust the collector housing height by adjusting skid shoes to clear rough spots or gravelled surfaces before starting. 6. Handle fuel with care. Store only in approved gasoline container. Move machine outdoors where fumes can be safely dissipated before filling tank. Never add fuel when engine is running. Allow cooling off period after stopping to prevent spilled fuel from igniting on contact with hot engine parts. OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS 1. Before starting, make visual check to make sure blower housing is clear and all guards and shields are in place and tight. 2. Warn everyone in advance to stay clear of area but keep especially watchful for children and pets darting into area while operating. 3. Start engine only when exhaust fumes can be dissipated, allow brief warm-up period, practice operation of controls outside before putting the machine to work. 4. Start in slow speed and adjust traction speed to insure safe operation. 5. Transport unit with blower clutch released and activate only when snow is to be cleared. Set deflector to discharge desired distance beforehand. 6. Adjust traction speed slow enough to avoid overloading capacity resulting in clogging of the blower housing. 7. Should the blower become clogged, release traction and blower clutch controls and, as an additional precaution, stop the engine before attempting to unclog the collector and impellers. 8. If you strike a hard object and break the auger shear pin, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before inspecting for damage, and/or replacing the shear pin. 9. Stop the engine if unit starts to vibrate excessively as this normally indicates mechanical problems. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent unintentional starting before servicing or repairing the machine. 10. Avoid clearing steep slopes and keep away from drop-off areas where machine could tip over. Clear snow up and down slopes whenever possible. 11. Stop the engine and remove the key whenever you leave the unit unattended to eliminate the possibility of children or untrained adults attempting to operate the machine. -2- OPERATION Make sure that each person you allow to operate your Snow Thrower equipped Rider reads this manual beforehand then pays particular attention to the Safety Precautions on page 2 and to the warning decals on the unit.
