MODEL 380 TWO STAGE SNOW THROWER
NOTE: Some procedures require you to tip the snow thrower up on the front of the auger housing. If there is fuel in the gas tank, place a piece of plastic wrap over the gas tank opening and screw the cap back on the tank tightly. This should keep gas from leaking fr om the cap vent.
Disconnect Spark

Please refer to the owners manual for Assembly
Instructions, Preparation, Operation, Maintenance,
Storage and Safety precautions.
NOTE: These materials are prepared for use by trained technicians who are experienced in the service and repair of this type of equipment described in this publication, and are not intended for use by untrained or inexperienced individuals. All such individuals should seek the assistance of an authorized service dealer.
Proper set up is very important to the long life and problem free operation of power equipment.
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.
Plastic Wrap
NOTE: a piece of plastic wrap or the parts bag can be used to seal the cap from possible gas leakage.

AUGER SHEAR BOLTS
5.1.
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the bolts may shear. If the augers do not turn, check if the bolts have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex lock nuts have been provided with the snow thrower.
NOTE: NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components, as a result of doing so, will NOT be covered by your snow thrower warranty.

Хочу поделиться впечатлениями от знакомства с изделием MTD. Не знаю, где собирают такое барахло — данных об этом нигде не приложено. Руководство отвратиельное: в одну книжонку запихнули сразу описание на семь(!) культиваторов и описываются они там все семь штук одновременно! Короче, это надо видеть. Ладно, разобрались в этой шараде, собрали как написано, потянули за шнурок стартер…мотор даже не чихнул, а шнурок остался вытянутым и не убирается. Такое вот получилось MTD! Разобрали блок стартера и … возвратная пружина в нём, где-то в середине своей намотки, в двух местах ровно разрезана! Лопнуть от моего потяга она не могла — тянул аккуратно, как надо. Явно при сборке засунули её уже такой. Везти в гарантийку, нужно заплатить за машину 8000 рублей. Пришлось у них купить стартер — 2200 руб всё же не 8000. Собрали, дёрнули — мотор завёлся сразу, но… Фрезы вращаются, регулировка тросиков сцепления ничего не даёт. Смотрим в руководство…да нет, сделали как там написано, не должны фрезы вращатся! Совсем их от ручки управления отсоединили, не должно при таком положении быть сцепления, а оно есть — фрезы готовы землю рыть.
При выкл. движке, когда нажимали сцепление, был слышен скрежет. В руководстве советуют убирать этот шум регулировкой натяжения тросика. Так вот, когда собрали культиватор первый раз, шум смогли убрать, а в этот раз нет. Звоню в сервис, описываю проблему со сцеплением, про неубираемый шум и мне дают заключение: само сцепление, наверное, собрано не правильно — привозите. У меня нет на это слов кроме плохих: что это за шарага такая MTD?! Не важно, где собирали сей агрегат: в Китае, России или ещё где. Качество должно быть г е р м а н с к о е, раз на сопроводительной бумаге написано MTD Products, Saarbrucken, Germany.
Может быть у кого были похожие проблемы со сцеплением или что-то другое связанное с супер-техникой фирмы MTD? Не думаю, что мой аппарат был собран таким в одном экземпляре. Думаю, что и не все изьяны в нём ещё открылись.
