SNOW THROWING TIPS
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER
•
•
•
•
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
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.
Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow.Use the
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.
2.
3.
4.
Place throttle control in FAST position.
Rotate choke control to FULL position.
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-
diately after it falls.
Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is
below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between
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 temperatures.
15°
and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is
not necessary.
•
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the
engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few
minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the
primer.
•
•
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this
section of this manual.
5.
Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
6.
When the engine starts, release the recoil starter
handle and slowly move the choke control to the OFF
position.
•
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow
removal by overlapping previous path and moving
slowly.
•
•
•
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use.This
will help air flow and extend engine life.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operating
temperature.
Aftersnow-throwingiscompleted,allowenginetorunfor
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF
position. DO NOT push the primer.
BEFORE STOPPING
WARNING:
Do not operate snow
throwerifweatherconditionsimpairvis-
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,
windy snowstorm can blind you and be
hazardous to the safe operation of the
snow thrower.
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:
