Note:
To use the electric starter, connect a power
cord to the electric starter plug-in first and then to
a power outlet.
Important:
To prevent damaging the electric
starter, run it in short cycles (5 seconds
maximum, then wait one minute before trying to
start it again). If the engine still does not start,
take the snowthrower to an Authorized Service
Dealer for service.
8. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet
first and then from the snowthrower (electric start
only).
9. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes,
move the choke toward the Run position. Wait
for the engine to run smoothly before each choke
adjustment.
If you leave the snowthrower plugged into a
power outlet, someone can inadvertently start
the snowthrower and injure people or damage
property.
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not
starting the snowthrower.
