Poulan Pro PR5524ES 421886 Snow Blower Owners Manual

OPERATION
TO START ENGINE
Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the “OPEN” position.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will
not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
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.
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER
Follow the steps  above, keeping the choke in  the “OFF”
position.  DO NOT push the primer.
Be  sure  your house  is  a  120  Volt A.C.  three-wire
grounded system.  If you  are uncertain,  consult a  li-
censed electrician.
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-wiregroundedsystem.  Seri-
ous personal injury or damage to your
snow thrower could result.
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.

Push starter button until engine starts.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
Always operate the  snow thrower with the engine  at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
Goslowerindeep,freezingorheavywetsnow.Usethe
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, 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.

seconds between each attempt.
When the engine starts, release the starter button and
slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.
Slightly overlap  each successive  path to  ensure all
snow will be removed.
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
9.
Disconnect the power  cord from the  receptacle first,
then from the engine.
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.

a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.

not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-
ing temperature.
