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.

WARNING:  Do  not   use  the  electric
starter if your  house is not a 120  Volt
A.C.three-wiregroundedsystem.  Seri-
ous personal injury or damage to your
snow thrower could result.
Follow the steps  above, keeping the choke in  the “OFF”
position.  DO NOT push the primer.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
Push starter button until engine starts.
Go slower in deep, freezing  or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to
adjust speed.
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five continu-
ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to
10
7.
seconds between each attempt.
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.
8.
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.
Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions.  See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this
section of this manual.
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER
Follow the steps above, keeping  the choke control in 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.

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.
