Fuel Safety

 DANGER

GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMM ABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Gasoline and gasoline vapors:

  • Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
  • Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
  • Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
  • Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
  • Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential leaks quickly.
  • Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand when temperatures rise.
  • In the case of any petroleum gasoline fire, flames should never be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.

When adding or removing gasoline:

  • DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
  • Turn the snowblower off and let cool for a minimum of two minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Loosen gasoline cap to relieve pressure from the gasoline tank.
  • Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
  • DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the snowblower at the gas station. Always use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline to the snowblower.
  • DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Keep fuel level at least 1/2 inch below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion.
  • Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running.
  • When gasoline spills, wipe the fuel off the engine and equipment. Move the snowblower from fuel spill area to another area.
  • Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
  • Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

When starting the engine:

  • DO NOT attempt to start a damaged snowblower.
  • Always make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly secured, connected and in place.
  • Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine.
  • Make certain that the snowblower is resting firmly on level ground.

When operating the snowblower:

  • DO NOT tip the snowblower during operation.
  • DO NOT tip the snowblower or allow fuel or oil to spill.

When transporting or servicing the snowblower:

  • Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the gasoline tank is empty.
  • Disconnect the spark plug wire.

When storing the snowblower:

  • Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
  • Do not store the snowblower or gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

Assembly Parts

 

ASSEMBLY

Your snowblower requires some assembly. This unit ships from our factory with oil. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation.If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your snowblower, call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999. Please have your serial number and model number available.

Unpacking

  1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
  2. Remove everything from the carton except the snowblower base — including upper and lower handles, wheels, connecting levers, chute, hardware, etc. Make sure all the assembly parts are included before you start.
  3. Lift the top half of the box off and the base should be clear to start assembly.
  4. Cut down the bottom carton to allow a flat surface area to install the assembly parts without scratching parts or cutting tires. Alternatively, with team lift help, lift the base of the snowblower out of the carton and place it on a flattened carton to start assembly.

Lower Handle

  1. Attach the lower handle (1-1) onto the unit body with bolts (1-2) (Fig. 1). Repeat on the other side.

Wheel

  1. Slide the left wheel (2-1) onto axle (2-2) as the arrow shows. Tread pattern should face forward. Place axle pin (2-3) into wheel. The axle has a center hole to attach the wheel to the axle (which connects to the drive train). Once inserted, fold ring around axle to hold in place (Fig. 2).

NOTICEOnly the left axle has two holes, and the axle pin can be removed and repositioned. If the wheel is slid further in on the axle with the pin inserted into the outside hole of the axle, the machine will move freely without the engine on. If the pin is inserted into the inside hole of the axle, the machine will only move when the drive control is engaged when the engine is on.

It is optional to slide one wheel past the pin hole in the axle and to place the locking pin into the axle outside the wheel without locking it into the drive axle. This creates a pivot wheel that allows the operator to more easily turn the snowblower during use by using the “free wheel” as a pivot point. Though this makes turning easier, it decreases drive wheel traction by 50%.

Upper Handle1. Connect the upper handle and lower handle with 2 bolts (3-1), 2 washers (3-2) and 2 locking knobs (3-3) only on the bottom – keep them loose so you can fold the handle down in the next step (Fig. 3).

Cables

  1. Cables are disconnected from each other and found on the base of the snowblower (near the auger housing) and on the upper handle.
  2. Fold handle down backwards (it will require some force to fold backwards) and connect SELF-DRIVE CONTROL HANDLE CABLE (4-1) on the right, and AUGER CABLE (4-2) on the left. (Fig. 4).
  3. Insert wire clamps (4-3) together and pull to make sure they are connected. (Fig. 4).

NOTICEThe cables are preset by the factory. If you need to adjust see ADJUSTING SELF-DRIVE CONTROL HANDLE CABLES or ADJUSTING AUGER CONTROL CABLE for correct adjustments.

NOTICEIn the process of operation, if the auger or drive control handle is too loose, screw the bolt of part A to get a natural tension station for the wire.

Check the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. You want to make sure that the tension on the lower side of the snowblower has 1⁄4-3⁄8 in. (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. If the slack is greater than 5⁄8 in. (16 mm), please adjust. Proper tension is important because you will want your snowblower to move forward properly in heavy snowfalls.

Upper Handle

  1. Fold the upper handle up, making sure the cables pull tight (Fig 5).

NOTICE

Do not bend the SELF-DRIVE CONTROL HANDLE CABLE (4-1) and AUGER CABLE (4-2) bolts when folding upwards.

2. Connect the last 2 bolts (6-1), 2 washers (6-2) and 2 locking knobs (6-3) on the top (Fig. 6). Fully hand tighten all four locking knobs.

3. Discharge chute bracket should be placed forward as shown (for correct placement). Do not overtighten. Connect discharge chute guide to lower handle with 1 bolt (7-1), and 1 lock nut (7-2) (Fig. 7).

Speed Control Connecting Lever

  1. Connect the connecting lever and connecting base with cotter pin (8-1).
  2. Connect the connecting lever and speed adjusting handle with clip (Fig. 8).

Snow Discharge Support

  1. Remove the bolts (9-1) and nuts (9-2) from the top of the discharge support (Fig. 9). Set aside for next step.

Snow Discharge Chute

  1. Put the snow discharge chute on the snow discharge support. Attach the snow discharge support using bolts (9-1) and nuts (9-2) removed in the prior step (Fig. 10). Fully hand tighten.

Discharge Chute Rotation Lever

  1. Remove the R-clip from the gear as applicable. Set aside for a later step. It may be preinstalled by the factory.
  2. Insert the lever through the discharge chute bracket on the lower handle, and then into the hole of the gear (Fig. 11A).

3. Align the lever and the gear, and then connect the R-clip (11-1). (Fig. 11B).4. Check the snow discharge chute by turning it fully in both directions. The discharge chute should rotate freely.

WARNING

Ensure the R pin is positioned as shown in Fig. 11B.

Add Engine Oil

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil. Damage to the snowblower as a result of failing to follow these instructions will void your warranty.

NOTICEThe snowblower rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

NOTICEThe recommended oil type for typical use is 0W-30 automotive oil.

If running snowblower in extreme temperatures, refer to the following chart for recommended engine oil type.

  1. Place the snowblower on a flat, level surface.
  2. Remove the oil cap/dipstick and wipe it clean (Fig. 12A).

3. Insert the oil cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck but do not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level (Fig. 12B).

4. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, remove the oil cap/dipstick, and fill with the recommended oil to the upper limit mark. Do not overfill (Fig. 12B).5. Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick.

NOTICEOnce oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking.

NOTICECheck oil level often during the initial 20 hour engine run period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

NOTICESynthetic oil may be used after the first oil change. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.

CAUTIONThis engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold level.

Add FuelUse clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.   

DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

  1. Remove the fuel tank cap.
  2. Add fuel to the bottom of the fuel level limit in the neck of the fuel tank. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the snowblower. Fuel tank capacity: 0.7 gal. (2.6 L) (Fig. 13).

CAUTIONUse unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.

  • DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
  • DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline expansion.
  • DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the snowblower at the pump. Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline to the snowblower.
  • DO NOT fill tank indoors.
  • DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.

WARNINGPouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in gasoline splashing over the snowblower and operator while filling.

NOTICEThe snowblower engine works well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some issues worth noting:

  • Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than gasoline alone.
  • These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
  • If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
  •  Any damages or hazards caused by using improper gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s warranty.

It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage instructions for extended non-use.

 

OPERATION

WARNINGNever use the snowblower without first reading and understanding the operating instructions, warnings and instruction labels located on the machine.

Before Operation

  1. Check the General Condition.
  2. Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
  3. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler and recoil starter.
  4. Look for signs of damage.
  5. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.

Check the Engine

  1. There is no fuel or oil in the engine. Fill with fuel and add 0W-30 prior to first use.
  2. Check the fuel level (see Add Fuel under Assembly section).
  3. Check the oil level (see Add Engine Oil under Assembly section).

WARNINGAlways check the engine oil level before operation. Using the snowblower without oil can seriously damage the engine and void your warranty. The machine must stand on level ground when checking.

Engine key and throttle lever plastic piece need to be attached before first use. These parts may be attached to the recoil starter grip. Please remove the key and throttle lever from the recoil starter grip and attach/install properly.

WARNINGAlways wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

Starting the Engine

  1. Make sure the engine key (safety lock out) is inserted into the key hole.
  2. To start a warm engine: (Fig. 14).2a. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.2b. Move the choke lever to the RUN position.2c. Move the throttle lever to full speed.2d. Do not prime.

3. To start a cold engine: (Fig. 15).

3a. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.3b. Move the choke lever to the CHOKE position.3c. Move the throttle lever to full speed.3d. Prime 3-5 times.

4. Stand back and to the right of the unit, pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently (Fig. 16).

5. Alternatively. for electric start, plug in the supplied electrical cord into the starter. Press the electric start button and make sure that the mains supply voltage is 120 V~ 60 Hz (Fig. 17).

6. To start a cold engine: When the engine starts, move the choke to RUN position.

Stopping the EngineTo stop the engine in an emergency situation or during normal operation, simply remove the engine key.

Operation at High AltitudeThe density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and snowblower output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.

To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.

The part number and recommended altitude range for the application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the following table.

In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.

WARNINGOperation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations, the originally supplied standard main jet must be used. Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance.

Control Levers

  2. Place a suitable container below the snowblower to catch the used oil.
  3. Remove the drain bolt and drain the oil into the container by slightly tipping the engine toward the oil cap/dipstick (Fig. 22).

4. With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on the dipstick with the recommended oil (0W-30) (Fig. 23).

5. Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick securely. Capacity of engine oil: 16.9 fl. oz. (0.5 L).

WARNING

  • Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
  • With engine off but still warm, disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.

 WARNINGUsed oil is a hazardous waste product and must be disposed of properly. Do not discard with household waste. Check with your local regulations, service center, or dealer for safe disposal/recycling facilities.

Cleaning and Adjusting the Spark Plug(s)

  1. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
  2. Use a spark plug socket (not included) to remove the plug.
  3. Inspect the electrode on the plug. It must be clean and not worn to produce the spark required for ignition.
  4. Make certain the spark plug gap is 0.7 – 0.8 mm (0.028 – 0.031 in.).

5. Refer to the spark plug section on the Specifications page when replacing the plug.6. Carefully thread the plug into the engine.                                                                                  7. Use a spark plug socket (not included) to firmly install the plug.8. Attach the spark plug wire to the plug.

Replacing Shear PinsThe auger housing is shown as Fig. 24A. The augers are secured to the auger drive with shear pins (A) and clips (B) (Fig. 24B). If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snowblower is designed so that the lock pins may shear.

If the augers will not turn, check to see if the lock pins have sheared (Fig. 24B). Replacement shear pin(s) and clip(s) are found on the back of the control panel (Fig. 24C).

  WARNINGNo service must be carried out before:

  • The engine has stopped.
  • The spark plug cable has been disconnected from the spark plug.

Adjusting Self-Drive Control Handle CableCheck the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. Make sure that the tension on the self-drive cable is adjusted so it has between 1⁄4-3⁄8 in. (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. This movement can be acquired by measuring the distance the engagement paddle moves from its starting position and the point it becomes taut and starts to move the transmission adjustment lever. If the slack is greater than 5⁄8 in. (16 mm), please adjust. Proper tension is important because you will want your snowblower to move forward properly in heavy snowfalls.

While operating the snowblower, if the self-drive control lever is too loose, tighten the nut counter-clockwise while at the same time rotating the bolt upward to reach the position of the nut (Fig. 25).

Adjusting Auger Control CableCheck the slack of the tension and adjust accordingly. Make sure that the tension on the auger control cable is adjusted so it has between 1⁄4-3⁄8 in. (6.4-9.5 mm) of movement. This movement can be acquired by measuring the distance the engagement paddle moves from its starting position and the point it becomes taut and starts to engage the auger. If the slack is greater than 5⁄8 in. (16 mm), please adjust. Proper tension is important because you will want your snowblower to maximize belt life in heavy snowfalls.

While operating the snowblower, if the auger control lever is too loose, tighten the nut counter-clockwise while at the same time rotating the bolt upward to reach the position of the nut (Fig. 26).

Replace Auger Drive Belt Without SplittingThe Snowblower Body (Option 1)

  1. Remove the plastic belt cover (A) on the front of the engine by removing two M6 × 16 bolts (B) (Fig. 27).

LubricationLubricate the linkage every 10 hours of use and before long-term storage. Use 0W-30 oil.

No parts inside the gearbox are to be lubricated. All bearings and bushings are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance. Lubricating these parts will only result in the grease getting on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which could damage the rubber clad friction wheel.

 

STORAGE

Never store the machine with gasoline in the fuel tank in a confined area with bad ventilation. Gasoline fumes could reach open flames, sparks and cigarettes etc.

To avoid the engine freezing and problems starting the engine, leave the engine running outdoors for 5-10 minutes after your work has been completed, then shut the engine off. This will ensure all moisture will disappear that would otherwise cause starting problems. After engine shut down, allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

If the machine is to be stored for a longer period than 30 days, the following procedures are recommended.

  1. Start the engine and let it run until it stops due to lack of fuel.
  2. Change the engine oil if it has not been done for 3 months.
  3. Remove the spark plug and add about 1oz.(30ml) of engine oil in the spark plug hole. Pull recoil handle manually and crank the engine a couple of times to disperse the oil within the cylinder. Replace spark plug.
  4. Clean the whole machine thoroughly.
  5.  Lubricate all the parts as shown in LUBRICATION section above.
  6. Inspect the machine for damage, and repair if necessary.
  7. Touch up any paint damage.
  8. Apply rust protection to the metal surfaces.
  9. Store the machine indoors when possible.

TransportingIf the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the machine on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position and keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
