TO START ENGINE
Be sure that engine oil is at FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.
The snowthrower engine is equipped with a 120 volt AC electric
starter and recoil starter. Before starting the engine, be certain that
you have read the following information.
If engine floods, set the choke to the OPEN/RUN position and crank
until the engine starts.
WARNING: Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback)
will pull your hand or arm toward the engine faster than
you can let go of the starter cord.
• When starting the engine, slowly pull the starter cord until
resistance is felt. Then, rapidly pull the starter cord.
• Make sure components; such as impellors, pulleys or sprock-
ets, are securely attached.
WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with a three-
wire power cord and plug designed to operate on 120 volt
AC household current. The power cord must be properly
grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock
which can cause injury to the operator. Follow all instructions
carefully as set forth below:
Make sure your house has a three-wire grounded system. If you
are not sure, ask a licensed electrician. If your house does not
have a three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric
starter under any condition.
If your house has a three-wire grounded system but a three hole
receptacle is not available to connect the electric starter, have a
three-hole receptacle installed by a licensed electrician.
