and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
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-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:
COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER
1.
Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much
rope out of the starter as possible.
Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
1.
Insert safety ignition key (tied to recoil start cord) into
ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep
the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.
Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position.
Move choke control to “FULL” position.
Connect the power cord to the engine.

If the engine still  fails to start, repeat the  above steps or
use the electric starter.
Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole
grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
Go slower in deep, freezing  or heavy wet snow. Use
the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to
adjust speed.
NOTE: Do not  use primer when starting  engine with the
electric starter.
6.
Push starter button until engine starts.
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.
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.
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.

ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to

seconds between each attempt.
When the engine starts, release the starter button and
slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.

then from the engine.

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