WARNING:
The
electric
starter
is
Electric Starter:
equipped with a grounded three-wire
power cord and plug and is designed to
operate on 120 volt AC household
current. It must be used with a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle at all
times to avoid the possibility of electric
shock. Follow all instructions carefully
prior to operating the electric starter.
•
Connect power cord to switch box on engine, then
to 120 volt AC receptacle. With the engine running,
push starter button and spin the starter for several
seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the
starter will not harm engine or starter. Disconnect
the power cord from receptacle first, and then from
switch box.
Recoil Starter
•
•
If your house wiring system is not a three-wire
grounded system, do not use this electric starter
under any conditions.
If your home electrical system is grounded, but a
three-hole receptacle is not available, one should
be installed by a licensed electrician before using
the electric starter.
If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,
proceed as follows:
Rotate choke knob to OFF position and do not
prime engine.
•
With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid,
continuous full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering
sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.
Move throttle control to “stop” or “off” position.
Remove ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect
the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting while equipment is unattended.
•
•
•
•
•
NOTE: Keep it in a safe place. Engine will not start
without ignition key.
Connect power cord to switch box on engine. Plug
the other end of power cord into a three-hole,
grounded 120 volt AC receptacle.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover
in the area of the control levers. Also, move control
levers back and forth several times.
•
•
Push starter button on top of the engine to crank
engine. As you crank the engine, move choke knob
to FULL choke position.
When engine starts, release starter button, and
move choke gradually to OFF. If engine falters,
move choke immediately to FULL and then
gradually to OFF.
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.
•
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug
from the three-prong receptacle first and then from
the snow thrower.
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.
Recoil Starter
•
Rotate choke knob to FULL choke position (cold
engine start). If engine is warm, place choke in OFF
position instead of FULL.
Push primer button two or three times. If engine is
warm, push primer button once only.
IMPORTANT: NEVER move the shift lever without first
releasing the traction control. Doing so will cause
premature wear to the drive system’s friction wheel.
•
To Engage Augers
To engage the augers and start the snow throwing
action, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Always cover vent hole in primer button when
pushing. Additional priming may be necessary for first
start if temperature is below 15°F.
•
Squeeze the auger control against the left handle.
•
•
Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly, until
it pulls slightly harder. Let rope rewind slowly.
Pull starter handle rapidly. Do not allow handle to
snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a
firm hold on the starter handle.
To disengage power to the augers:
•
Release both the auger control and the traction
control, if engaged.
The auger control can be locked so you can turn the
electric chute directional control without interrupting the
snow throwing process.
•
Repeat the previous steps until engine starts.
To Stop Engine
Operating Tips
•
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter,
proceed as follows.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
The engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
