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.
Be  sure your  house  is  a 120  Volt  A.C.  three-wire
grounded  system.   If  you are  uncertain,  consult  a
licensed electrician.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
