Engaging the Drive
Lift up slightly on the handle to allow the rubber paddles on the
auger to contact the pavement and propel the snow thrower forward.
Pushing downward on the handle will raise the augers off the
ground and stop the forward motion.
Note: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result in
premature wear on the rubber auger blades and is not covered by
the warranty.
Engaging the Augers
To engage the augers and start throwing snow, squeeze the
Auger Control against the handle. Release to stop the augers.
Stopping the Engine
1. Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to help
dry off any moisture on the engine.
2. Move the Throttle Control to the STOP position.
3. Remove the Ignition Key. Removing the key will reduce the
possibility of unauthorized starting of the engine while the
equipment is not in use. Keep the key in a safe place. The
engine cannot start without the ignition key.
4. Wipe any moisture away from the controls on the engine.
3. Move the Throttle Control to the FAST (rabbit) position.
4. Move Choke Control on the engine to the CHOKE position
(cold engine start). If the engine is warm, move the lever
to the RUN position.
5. Push Primer three (3) times, making sure to cover vent hole
when pushing. If the engine is warm, push the primer only
once. Always cover the vent hole when pushing. Cool weather
may require priming to be repeated.
6. Push Electric Starter Button on the Electric Starter Outlet to
start the engine. Immediately release the button once the
engine starts. Continuing to press may damage the electric
starter. The electric starter is equipped with thermal overload
protection; the system will temporarily shut-down to allow
starter to cool if electric starter becomes overloaded.
7. As engine warms, slowly move Choke Control to the RUN
position. If the engine falters, restart the engine and run
with the Choke Control at half-choke position for a short
period of time, and then slowly rotate the choke into the RUN
position.
8. After the engine is running, disconnect the power cord from
the electric starter. When disconnecting the power cord,
always unplug from the three-prong receptacle first and
then from the snow thrower.
Recoil Starter
m
CAUTION
Pulling the Recoil Starter Handle while the engine is
running may cause personal injury or damage to the
machine. Do not pull the Recoil Starter Handle when
the engine is running.
1. Insert the ignition key/safety key completely until it snaps
into place.
2. Move the Throttle Control to the FAST (rabbit) position.
3. Move Choke Control on the engine to the CHOKE position
(cold engine start). If the engine is warm, move the lever
to the RUN position.
4. Push Primer three (3) times, making sure to cover vent hole
when pushing. If the engine is warm, push the primer only
once. Always cover the vent hole when pushing. Cool
weather may require priming to be repeated.
5. Pull gently on the starter handle until it begins to resist,
then pull quickly and forcefully to overcome the compression.
Do not release the handle and allow it to snap back. Return
the rope SLOWLY to the original position. If required, repeat
this step.
6. As engine warms, slowly move Choke Control to the RUN
position. If the engine falters, restart the engine and run
with the Choke Control at half-choke position for a short
period of time, and then slowly rotate the choke into the RUN
position.
