OPERATOR’S MANUAL 33” Snow Thrower Model 1333 SWE IMPORTANT: READ SAFETY RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY Warning: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forestcovered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator.

SECTION 1: IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed, could endanger the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury. When you see this symbol—heed its warning.
5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Maintenance And Storage Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel surfaces. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER Unpacking • • • • • Remove staples from the top, sides, and ends of the shipping crate. Set panels aside to avoid tire punctures or personal injury. Remove and discard plastic bag that covers unit. Roll the unit out of the crate. Check the crate thoroughly for loose parts before discarding. Upper Handle Steering Cable Tighten these Wing Nuts Loose Parts • Lower Handle The snow thrower is shipped with the following loose parts in the carton.
• • Tighten the two wing nuts already in place on the upper holes and secure the handles firmly. Refer to Figure 2. Slide the shift rod connector down over the end of the lower shift rod as shown in Figure 2. Tap the connector until it locks on the lower shift rod. • Plug the wire from the headlight into the alternator lead coming from the right side of the engine, underneath the fuel tank as shown in Figure 6 inset.
“Z” End Jam Nut High Auger Control Cable Low Shave Plate Carriage Bolts Figure 7 Hex Nuts If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: • • Skid Shoes Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See Figure 7. Recheck adjustment; readjust as necessary and tighten the jam nut. Figure 8 NOTE: Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
SECTION 3: KNOWING YOUR SNOW THROWER WARNING: Be familiar with all the controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the machine and disengage them quickly. Auger Control Headlight Traction Control / Auger Control Lock Fuel Tank Discharge Chute Shift Lever Left Wheel Steering Control Chute Tilt Control Right Wheel Steering Control Chute Crank Auger Skid Shoe Figure 9 Traction Control / Auger Control Lock Shift Lever The traction control is located on the right handle. Refer to Figure 9.
Wheel Steering Controls Safety Ignition Key The left and right wheel steering controls are located on the underside of the handles and are used to assist in steering the snow thrower. The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove key when snow thrower is not in use. Do not attempt to turn the key. See Figure 10. • • Squeeze the right wheel steering control when turning right; squeeze the left control when turning left.
• • • • • • • • • If your house wiring system is not a three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric starter under any conditions. If your home electrical system is grounded, but a three-hole receptacle is not available, one should be installed by a licensed electrician before using the electric starter. If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle, proceed as follows. Rotate choke knob to FULL position. Push primer two or three times for cold engine start.
WARNING: The temperature of the muffler • and the surrounding areas may exceed 150°F. Avoid these areas. • • • For the most efficient snow removal, remove snow immediately after it falls. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly overlap each previous cleaning path. • • Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed snow.
• • • Chute Assembly Rotate the ferrule up or down on the shift rod as necessary until the ferrule lines up with the upper hole in the shift lever. Refer to Figure 12. Insert ferrule from the left side of the snow thrower into the upper hole. Reinstall the hairpin clip and the washer. The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to the “Know Your Snow Thrower” section on page 7. The remote chute control cables have been preadjusted at the factory.
• • • • Remove the shear bolts on the auger shaft. Oil or spray lubricant inside shaft. Carefully spin the auger around by hand to disperse the lubricant. Reinstall the shear bolts. Traction Control / Auger Control Lock The cams on the ends of the control rods which interlock the traction drive and auger drive clutches must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25 hours of operation using a multi-purpose automotive grease. The cams can be accessed beneath the handle panel as shown in Figure 15.
SECTION 7: SERVICING YOUR SNOW THROWER WARNING: Before servicing, repairing, or • inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. • Augers • The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 16. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts may shear.
• Using a 1/2” wrench, remove the hex screw and belleville washer from the center of the pulley on the auger housing. Lift the brake bracket assembly out of the pulley groove and remove the pulley. See Figure 20. Be careful not to lose the key. • Remove and replace auger belt inside belt keepers. • Reassemble pulley to auger housing with hex screw and belleville washer (cupped side toward the pulley). Make sure key is in place on shaft and brake puck is seated in the pulley groove.
Trigger Cables Drive Actuator Bracket Shift Arm Belt Cover Auger Actuator Bracket Hex Nut and Cupped Washer Extension Spring Hex Shaft Drive Belt Friction Wheel Figure 21 • • • • Figure 22 Attach the “Z” fitting of the cable into the brake bracket assembly. Refer to Figure 19. Slip the auger control belt over engine pulley. Insert ferrule on auger idler rod into bracket assembly and secure with flat washer and cotter pin. Reassemble the large shoulder bolt and lock washer as shown in Figure 18.
• Reassemble the new friction wheel rubber to the friction wheel assembly, tightening the six screws in rotation and with equal force. It is important to assemble the rubber on the friction wheel symmetrically for proper functioning. NOTE: If the sprocket fell from the snow thrower while removing the hex shaft, place the sprocket on the hex shaft. Position the hex hub of the sprocket toward the friction wheel when sliding the sprocket on to the hex shaft as shown in Figure 25.
SECTION 9: TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Remedy Engine fails to start. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Fuel tank empty, or stale fuel. Blocked fuel line. Choke not in ON position Faulty spark plug. Safety key not in ignition switch on engine. Spark plug wire disconnected. Primer button not being used properly. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Fill tank with fresh gasoline. Clean the fuel line. Move switch to ON position Clean, adjust gap or replace. Insert the key fully into the switch. Connect spark plug wire.
