directly into the engine’s carburetor to
aid in cold-weather starting. Refer to
the engine manual packed with the
snow thrower for more detailed
instructions regarding the primer.
Auger
When engaged, the augers rotation picks up snow that
enters the auger housing and throws it out the
discharge chute. The rubber paddles on the augers
also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they come in
contact with the pavement.

The ignition key must be present
and placed in the “ON” position for
the engine to start.
