OPERATION
22
FROZEN STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:
1.
Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
2.
Release the starter handle and let it snap back against
the starter. Repeat until the engine starts.
Warm engines will cause condensation in cold weather. To
help prevent possible freeze-up of recoil starter and engine
controls, proceed as follows after each snow removal job.
1.
With engine off, allow engine to cool for several minutes.
2.
Pull starter rope very slowly until resistance is felt, then
stop. Allow the starter rope to recoil. Repeat three times.
3.
With the engine not running, wipe all snow and moisture
from the carburetor cover in area of control levers. Also
move choke knob and starter handle several times.
WARNING: Never run engine indoors or in en-
closed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust
contains CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS
AND DEADLY GAS. Keep hands, feet, hair and loose
clothing away from any moving parts o
n
engine and
snowthrower.
Engine parts, especially the muffler, become ex-
tremely hot. Severe thermal burns can occur on con-
tact. Allow the engine to cool before touching.
Never allow children to operate the snowthrower.
Never allow adults to operate the snowthrower with-
out proper instruction.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, partic-
ularly small children and pets.
Never leave the snowthrower unattended while the
engine is running. Anyone operating the engine or
equipment must carefully read and understand the
operating instructions.
IMPORTANT: After each use of the snowthowers, stop
the engine, remove the safety/ignition key, remove all
accumulated snow from the snowthrower and wipe
clean. Store the snowthrower in a protected area.
NOTE: Never cover snowthrower while engine and
exhaust area are still warm.
HOW TO CLEAR
A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
WARNING: Hand contact with the rotating im-
peller inside the discharge chute is the most
common cause of injury associated with snow-
throwers. NEVER USE YOUR HAND TO CLEAN OUT
THE DISCHARGE CHUTE.
To Clear The Chute:
SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!
Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades
have stopped rotating.
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
A clean-out tool is attached to either the handle or the top of
the auger housing (see Figure 23). Use the clean-out tool to
remove snow from the auger housing.
How To Use The Clean-Out Tool
Release the auger drive lever.
Pull out the safety key.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
Do not place your hands in the auger or discharge
chute. Use a clean-out tool to remove snow or debris.
WARNING: Blockage must be cleared only after
shutting off the snowthrower and only with a
clean-out tool, not by hand.
