NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke
control in the OFF position instead of FULL.
Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud
clattering sound, which is not harmful to engine.
Move throttle control to STOP position.
Remove the ignition key.
2.
3.
•
Push the primer two or three times for cold engine
start, making sure to cover vent hole in the center of
the primer when pushing.
NOTE: Keep the key in a safe place. The engine
cannot start without the ignition key.
NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine
after a short shutdown.
4.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the drive control and auger
control. Also, engage and release the controls
several times.
NOTE: Additional priming may be necessary if the
temperature is below 15° F(9° C).
•
Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the
rope out. At the point where it becomes slightly
harder to pull the rope, slowly allow the rope to
recoil.
To Engage Drive
•
With the throttle control in the Fast (rabbit) position,
move shift lever into one of the six forward (F)
positions or two reverse (R) positions. Select a
speed appropriate for the snow conditions and a
pace you’re comfortable with.
•
Pull the starter handle with a firm, rapid stroke.
IMPORTANT: Do not release the handle and allow it to
snap back. Keep a firm hold on the starter handle and
allow it to slowly recoil.
IMPORTANT: Use the slower speeds until you are
comfortable and familiar with the operation of the snow
thrower.
•
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke
control to the OFF position. If the engine falters,
quickly rotate the choke control back to the FULL
position and then slowly into the OFF position
again.
•
Squeeze the auger control against the handle and
the augers will turn. Release it and the
augers will stop.
•
Squeeze the drive control against the
handle the snow thrower will move.
Release it and drive motion will stop.
Stopping The Engine
•
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.
To help prevent possible starter freeze-up, proceed
as follows:
IMPORTANT: NEVER reposition the shift lever (change
speeds or direction of travel) without first releasing the
drive control and bringing the snow thrower to a
complete stop. Doing so will result in premature wear to
the snow thrower’s drive system.
•
Electric Starter (on models so equipped)
1.
Connect extension cord to the electric starter outlet
on the engine, then to 120 volt AC outlet.
With the engine running, push the starter button
and allow the starter for spin for several seconds.
The noise made by the starter is normal. The
engine’s starter is not being harmed.
When disconnecting the extension cord, always
unplug the end at the three-prong wall outlet before
unplugging the opposite end from the snow
thrower.
To Engage Augers
1.
2.
To engage augers and start snow throwing,
squeeze the left hand auger clutch grip against the
left handle. Release to stop augers.
3.
For models with optional interlock mechanism only:
2.
While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the
drive control to move, release to stop. Do not shift
speeds while the drive is engaged.
4.
5.
6.
Move throttle control to STOP position.
Remove the ignition key.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the drive control and auger
control. Also, engage and release the controls
several times.
NOTE: This same lever also locks auger control so you
can turn the chute crank without interrupting the snow
throwing process.
3.
Release the auger control; the interlock mechanism
should keep the auger control engaged until the
drive control is released.
NOTE: Keep the key in a safe place. The engine
cannot start without the ignition key.
4. Release the drive control to stop both the augers
and the wheel drive. To stop the auger, both levers
must be released.
Recoil Starter
1.
With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid,
continuous full arm stroke three or four times.
