is  grounded  and   a  three-hole  receptacle  is   not
available at the point your starter will normally    be
used,   one   should   be   installed  by   a   licensed
electrician.
Electric Starter: Connect the power cord to the
switch box on the engine, then connect to a 120
volt AC receptacle. With the engine running, push
the starter button and spin the starter for several
seconds. The unusual sound made by the spinning
starter will not harm the engine or starter. Discon-
nect the power cord from receptacle first, and then
from the switch box.
Recoil Starter: With the engine running, pull the
starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke
three or four times. Pulling the starter rope will pro-
duce a clattering sound, which is not harmful to the
engine or the recoil starter.
To stop the engine, push the throttle control lever
down to the stop position. Remove the ignition key
by pulling it straight out of the keyhole and
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting while the equipment
is unattended.
When connecting the power cord, always connect the
cord to the starter on the engine first, then plug the
other end into a three-hole grounded receptacle.
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug the
end from the three-hole grounded receptacle first.
To Start Engine
IMPORTANT: If the unit shows any sign of motion
(traction drive or augers) with the controls disengaged,
shut the engine off immediately. Readjust as instructed
under Final Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual.
Attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
Make certain the fuel shut-off valve is in the open
(vertical) position.
NOTE: Do not lose the ignition key. Keep    it in a safe
place. The engine will not start without the ignition key.
Make certain that both the auger control and the
traction control are in the disengaged position.
Move the throttle control up to the FAST position.
Insert the ignition key into the slot. See Figure 8. Be
certain it snaps into place. Do not turn the key.
Rotate the choke knob to the FULL choke position
(cold engine start). If the engine is warm, place the
choke in the OFF position.
Connect the power cord (electric start) to the switch
box on the engine. Plug the other end of power cord
into a three-hole, grounded 120 volt AC receptacle.
Push the primer button three times. If the engine is
warm, push the primer button once only. See
Figure 8.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move
the control levers back and forth several times.
Leave the throttle control lever in the STOP or OFF
position. Leave the choke control in the FULL
choke position. See Figure 8.
To Engage Wheel Drive
With the engine running near top speed, move the
shift lever into one of the six FORWARD positions
or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed
appropriate for the snow conditions that exist.
NOTE: Always cover the vent hole in the primer button
when pushing. Additional priming may be necessary for
cold starts if the temperature is below 15°F.
NOTE:  Use  slower  speeds  in  higher  snow,  and  until
you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
Squeeze the traction control against the right
handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it
and the drive motion will stop.
Electric Start: Push the starter button on the front
of the engine to turn the starter. When the engine
starts, release the starter button (see Figure 8).
Recoil Start: Grasp the starter handle (see Figure
8) and pull the rope out slowly until resistance is
felt. Pull the starter handle rapidly. Do not allow the
handle to snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while
keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.
IMPORTANT: NEVER move the shift lever without first
releasing the traction control. Doing so will cause
premature wear to the drive systems friction wheel.
To Engage Augers
As the engine warms up and begins to operate
evenly, rotate the choke knob slowly to the OFF
position. If the engine falters, return to FULL choke,
then slowly move to the OFF position.
To engage the augers and start the snow throwing
action, proceed as follows:
Squeeze the auger control against the left handle.
To disengage power to the augers:
Release both the auger control and the traction
control, if engaged.
To Stop Engine
Run the engine for a few minutes after throwing
snow, to help dry off any moisture on the engine.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of the starter,
proceed as follows:
The auger control can be locked so you can turn the
electric chute directional control without interrupting the
snow throwing process. Refer to Traction Control/
Auger Control Lock in Section 4 of this manual.
