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 operat-
ing 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
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-
ture on the engine.
WARNING:  Do  not   use  the  electric
starter if your  house is not a 120  Volt
A.C. three-wire grounded system.  Se-

IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER

rope out of the starter as possible.
Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

Always operate the  snow thrower with the  engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
Push starter button until engine starts.
IMPORTANT:  Do  not crank engine  more than five con-
Go slower in deep,  freezing or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive  speed  control, NOT  the throttle,  to  adjust
speed.
tinuous 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.
Disconnect the power  cord from the  receptacle first,
then from the engine.
It is easier and more efficient to  remove snow imme-
diately 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 ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
9.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
Slightly overlap  each  successive path  to ensure  all
snow will be removed.
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions.  See “TO ADJUST SKID  PLATES” in this
section of this manual.
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.

engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few
minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the
primer.
