Electric Starter & Start Button (if so equipped)
The electric starter will start a properly choked
and cranked engine when the key is turned
(12V DC) or start button (120V or 230V AC) is
pushed.
To start the machine, connect the electric
starter to an electric power source with an
approved extension cord and press the start
button.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord
before using the machine. If the cord is
damaged, do not operate the machine. Replace or
repair the damaged cord immediately.
Connect extension cord to the electric
starter plug-in first and then to a power
outlet; disconnect the extension cord from
the power outlet first and then from the machine.
To prevent damaging the electric starter, do
not run it more than 5 continuous seconds
each time you try to start. Wait 10 seconds
between each attempt.
Adjustments
Skid Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface
conditions. For removal of snow in normal
conditions, such as a paved driveway or
sidewalk, place skid shoes in the higher
position to give a 3mm (1/8”) clearance
between the scraper blade and the ground.
Use a middle or lower position when the area
to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel
driveway.
It is not recommended to operate the snow
thrower on gravel as it can easily pick up
and throw by the impeller, causing personal
injury or damage to the snow thrower and
surrounding property.
If you choose to operate the snow thrower
on a gravel surface, use extra caution and
keep the skid shoes in position for maximum
clearance between the ground and the scraper
blade.
Always adjust skid shoes after
adjusting scraper blade to prevent
premature wear to scraper blade or
damage to auger housing.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each
side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes
to desired position.
2. Make sure the entire bottom surface of
skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
