Starting and Stopping the Engine
Before starting the engine, check engine
oil level and ensure the engine is served as
described in the Engine Manual with the
snow blower.
Cold Start – Electric Starter (120V or 230 AC)
(if so equipped)
The engine is equipped with both A.C. electric
starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and
plug and is designed to operate at the voltage
shown in the label.
Do not use the electric starter if your
household voltage different from the one
shown on the electric starter.
1. Insert safety ignition key into ignition slot
until it clicks. Do not turn the key.
2. Be sure fuel shutoff valve is in the OPEN
position.
3. Move choke control to FULL position.
4. Push the primer 2 or 3 times. When temperature
is below -25oC (15oF), additional priming may
be needed. When temperature is above 10oC
(50oF), priming is not necessary.
Over priming may cause flooding,
preventing the engine from starting.
If you do flood the engine, wait a few
minutes before attempting to start and do not push
the primer.
Some snow engine is not equipped with
primer as priming is not needed for such
engine.
5. Connect the extension cord to the engine.
6. Plug the other end of the extension cord
into a three-wire grounded receptacle.
7. Push starter button until engine starts.
To prevent damaging the electric starter, do
not run it more than 5 continuous seconds
each time you try to start. Wait 10 seconds
between each attempt.
8. When the engine starts, release the starter
button and slowly move the choke control
to the OFF position.
9. Disconnect the extension cord from the
receptacle first, then from the engine.
