OPERATION

COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER

1.   Insert safety ignition key into the ignition slot until it 

clicks.  DO NOT turn the key.  Keep the extra safety 
ignition key in a safe place.

2.    Place throttle control in FAST position.

3.    Rotate choke control to FULL position.

4.    Connect the power cord to the engine.

5.    Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole 

grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.

NOTE:

 Do not use primer when start ing en gine with the 

electric starter.

6.    Push starter button until engine starts.

IMPORTANT

:  Do not crank engine more than fi ve con-

 tin u ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 
5 to 10 seconds between each attempt.

7.    When the engine starts, release the starter button and 

slowly move the choke control to the OFF position.

8.   Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle fi rst, 

then from the engine. 

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.  Engine will 
not develop full power until it has reached normal operating 
temperature.

WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER

Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the 
OFF position.

COLD START - RECOIL STARTER

1.   Insert safety ignition key into the ignition slot until it 

clicks.  DO NOT turn the key.  Keep the extra safety 
ignition key in a safe place.

2.    Place throttle control in FAST position.

3.    Rotate choke control to FULL position.

4.   Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is 

below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between 
15° and 50°F.  If temperature is above 50°F, priming is 
not nec es sary.

NOTE

:  Over priming may cause fl ooding, preventing the 

engine from starting. If you do fl ood the engine, wait a few 
minutes be fore at tempt ing to start and DO NOT push the 
primer. 

5.    Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter 

rope to snap back.

6.   When the engine starts, release the recoil starter 

han dle and slowly move the choke control to the OFF 
position.

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.  Engine will 
not develop full power until it has reached normal operating 
temperature.

WARM START - RECOIL STARTER

Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF 
position.  DO NOT push the primer.

BEFORE STOPPING

Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-
ture on the engine.

To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, proceed as fol-
lows:

ELECTRIC STARTER

1.    Connect the power cord to the engine.

2.    Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole 

grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.

3.   While the engine is running, push starter button and 

spin the starter for several seconds.

NOTE

:  The unusual sound made while starter is spinning 

will not harm the engine or starter.

4.   Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle fi rst, 

then from the engine. 

RECOIL STARTER

1.      While the engine is running, pull the recoil starter handle 

with rapid, full arm strokes three or four times.

NOTE

:  The unusual sound made while pulling the recoil 

starter handle will not harm the engine or starter.

IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN

If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine, 
proceed as follows:

1.      Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much 

rope out of the starter as possible.

2.    Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back 

against the starter.

If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or 
use the electric starter.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

•     Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at 

full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.

•         Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the 

drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.

•      It is easier and more effi cient to remove snow im me -

di ate ly after it falls.

•      The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At 

this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming tem per a tures.

•     Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all 

snow will be removed.

•      Throw snow downwind whenever possible.

•      Ad just the skid plates to proper height for current snow 

con di tions.  See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this 
section of this manual.

•      For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow 

removal by over lap ping previous path and moving slowly.

•      Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This 

will help air fl ow and extend engine life. 

•         After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for 

a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.

•     Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each 

use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.

WARNING:  Do not operate snow 
thrower if weather conditions im pair vis-
ibility.  Throwing snow dur ing a heavy, 
windy snowstorm can blind you and be 
hazardous to the safe operation of the 
snow thrower.
