SNOW THROWING TIPS
•
•
Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with a recoil starter.
COLD START
•
Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust
speed.
1.
Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts
bag)intoignitionslotuntilitclicks. DONOTturnthekey.
Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
•
•
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.

15°
and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is
not necessary.
•
•
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
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.
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.
5.
Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.

and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” posi-
tion.

•
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This
will help air flow and extend engine life.

a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
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
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the “OFF”
position. DO NOT push the primer.
WARNING:
Do not operate snow
throwerifweatherconditionsimpairvis-
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,
windy snowstormcan blind you and be
hazardous to the safe operation of the
snow thrower.
BEFORE STOPPING
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-
ture on the engine.
IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
1.
Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much
rope out of the starter as possible.
2.
Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps.
