OPERATION
TO START ENGINE
• Ensure fuel shut-off valve is in the “OPEN” position.
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt
A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter
is equipped with a three-wire power plug and is designed
to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
• Ensure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
ground ed system. If you are uncertain, consult a
li censed electrician.
NOTE: Use an extension cord recommended for outdoor
use that is not longer than 50 feet (15 m).
WARNING: Do not use the electric
start er if your house is not a 120 Volt A.C.
three-wire grounded system. Se ri ous
per son al injury or damage to your snow
thrower could result.
COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER
1. Insert safety ignition key (tied to recoil start cord) into
ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep
the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position.
3. Move choke control to “FULL” position.
4. Push the primer three (3) times.
NOTE : Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the
engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few
minutes be fore at tempt ing to start and DO NOT push the
primer.
5. Connect the extension cord to the engine.
6. Plug the other end of the extension cord into a three-
hole grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.
7. Push starter button until engine starts.
IMPORTANT : Do not crank engine more than five con tin u-
ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to
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.
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 (tied to recoil start cord) into
ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep
the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position.
3. Rotate choke control to “FULL” position.
4. Push the primer three (3) times.
NOTE : Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the
engine from starting. If you do flood 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 moisture
on the engine.
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
• Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive speed control to adjust speed.
• It is easier and more efficient 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
exposed 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 flow 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
visibility. Throwing snow dur ing a
heavy, windy snowstorm can blind
you and be hazardous to the safe
operation of the snow thrower.
