BEFORE STARTING
NOTE: The crankcase has been filled with oil
and factory tested. Paint on the muffler may
have burnt due to testing.
Failure to follow this procedure may result in
serious engine damage which will not be
covered by warranty.
Your unit may be equipped with a white plas-
tic fuel plug at the opening of the fuel tank.
Please remove and discard the plug before
filling your unit with gas or before putting the
unit into operation.
GAS AND OIL FILL-UP
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as
instructed in the separate engine manual
packed with your snowthrower. Read instruc-
tions carefully.

OPERATION
TO START ENGINE
Electric Starter (Optional)
WARNING: The optional electric
starter is equipped with a
three-wire power cord and plug,
and is designed to operate on 120
volt AC Household current. It must
be properly grounded at all times to
avoid the possibility of electric
shock which may be injurious to
the operator. Follow all instructions
carefully. Determine that your
house wiring is a three wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed
electrician if you are not certain. If
your house wiring system is not a
three-wire grounded system, do not
use this electric starter under any
conditions. If your system is
grounded and a three hole recepta-
cle is not available at the point your
starter will normally be used, one
should be installed by a licensed
electrician.
When connecting the power cord, always
connect cord to starter on engine first, then
plug the other end into a three-hole
grounded receptacle.
When disconnecting the power cord, always
unplug the end from the three-hole
grounded receptacle first.
1. Make certain the metal loop on the end of
the spark plug wire (inside the boot) is fas-
tened securely over the metal tip on the
spark plug. See figure 13.
