OPERATION
Read, understand, and follow all instructions and warnings on
the machine and in this manual before operating.
Before Starting
IMPORTANT: For complete and detailed engine starting, stopping
and storing instructions, it is recommended that you read the engine
manual also included with this unit.
gas and Oil Fill-Up
1. Check oil and gasoline level and add if necessary. Follow related
instructions in the separate engine manual packed with your snow
thrower.
WARNING: Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
To Start Engine
1. Insert ignition key into slot. See Figure 5.
2. Now follow the instructions below as it pertains to your unit.
Electric Starter (if so equipped)
WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with
a grounded three-wire power cord and plug, and
is designed to operate on 120 volt AC household
current. It must be used with a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle at all times to avoid the
possibility of electric shock. Follow all instructions
carefully prior to operating the electric starter.
WARNING: DO NOT use electric starter in rain.
Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire grounded system.
Ask a licensed electrician if you are unsure. If you have a grounded
three-prong receptacle, proceed as follows. If you do not have the
proper house wiring, DO NOT use the electric starter under any
conditions.
2. Insert ignition key fully into slot. See Figure 5. Make sure it snaps
into place. DO NOT turn ignition key. The engine cannot start
unless the key is inserted into ignition switch.
3. Plug the extension cord into the electric switch box located on
the engine. See Figure 6.
(
On certain models the electric starter
is located on the right side of the shroud.) Plug the other end of
extension cord into a three-prong 120-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a
well-ventilated area.
4. Move throttle control to FAST (rabbit) position.
5. Move choke to the ON position (cold engine start). If engine is
warm, place choke in OFF position.
6. Push primer three to five (3-5) times, making sure to cover vent
hole when pushing. If engine is warm, push primer only once.
Always cover vent hole when pushing. Cool weather may require
priming to be repeated.
7. Push starter button to start engine. Once the engine starts,
immediately release starter button. Electric starter is equipped with
thermal overload protection; system will temporarily shut-down to
allow starter to cool if electric starter becomes overloaded.
8. As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to OFF
position. If the engine falters, restart engine and run with choke at
half-choke position for a short period of time, and then slowly rotate
the choke into OFF position.
9. After engine is running, disconnect power cord from electric starter.
When disconnecting, always unplug the end at the wall outlet
before unplugging the opposite end from the engine.
