WARNING: The operation of any
snow thrower can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
while operating the snow thrower. We rec-

120 volt A.C. household current. The power
cord must be properly grounded at all times
to avoid the possibility of electrical shock
which can injure the operator. Carefully fol-
low all instructions in the “How To Start The
Engine” section. Make sure that your house
wiring is a three- wire grounded system. If
you are not sure, ask a licensed electrician.
If your house wire system is not a
three- wire grounded system, do not use
this electric starter under any conditions. If
your system is grounded but a three- hole
grounded receptacle is not available to start
the engine, have a three- hole grounded re-
ceptacle installed by a licensed electrician.
To connect a 120 volt A.C. power cord, al-
ways connect the power cord to the switch
box (11) on the engine first. Then, plug the
other end into the three- hole grounded re-
ceptacle. When disconnecting the power

How To Control
The Discharge Of The Snow
1. Check the engine oil.

Fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded petrol.
See “How To Prepare The Engine”.
When the temperature falls below 32 degrees,
use the heated grips to keep your hands warm.
Move the heated grip switch (20) to the ON
position. It will take a couple of minutes for the
grips to become warm. Because heated grips
can become very warm, we recommend that you
wear gloves. If you notice that the grips are too
warm, turn off heated grips.
WARNING: Never direct the dis-
charge of snow toward bystanders.
3. Make sure the traction drive lever (1) and
the auger drive lever (5) are in the disen-
gaged (released) position.
4. Move the throttle control (13) to the fast
position.
5. Insert the ignition key (8) into the ignition
slot. Make sure the ignition key (8) snaps
into place. Do not turn the ignition key (8).
Remove the extra ignition key and keep in a
safe place.
WARNING: Always stop the engine
before unclogging the discharge
chute or the auger housing and be-
fore leaving the snow thrower.
