To Start Engine
•
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug
from the three-prong receptacle first and then from
the snow thrower.

augers) with the clutch grips disengaged, shut engine
off immediately. Readjust as instructed in the Final
Adjustments in the Assembly Section.

•
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.
•
Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain
the metal loop on end of the spark plug wire (inside

•
•
Make certain the fuel shutoff valve is in the OPEN
(vertical position). See Figure 7.
Make certain the auger and drive control levers are
in the disengaged (released) position.
Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert
ignition key into slot. See Figure 7. Be certain it
snaps into place. Do not turn key.

Repeat the previous steps until engine starts.
Electric Starter
To Stop Engine
•
Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not certain.
•
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.
•
•
If your house wiring system is not a three-wire
grounded system, do not use this electric starter
under any conditions.
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.
WARNING:
The
electric
starter
is
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.
Recoil Starter
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.
•
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:
•
•
•
•
•
NOTE: Keep it in a safe place. Engine will not start
without ignition key.
Rotate choke knob to OFF position and do not
prime engine.
Connect power cord to switch box on engine. Plug
the other end of power cord into a three-hole,
grounded 120 volt AC receptacle.
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.
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.
•
•
To Engage 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.
