•
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 cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
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

Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF
position. DO NOT push the primer.
BEFORE STOPPING
WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se-

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.
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.
•
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
•
•
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.
