•
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug
from the three-prong receptacle first, and then from
the snow thrower.
IMPORTANT: Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a safe
place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.
To Engage Drive
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 for cold
engine start.
•
With the engine running near top speed, move shift
lever into one of the six forward positions or two
reverse positions. Select a speed appropriate for
the snow conditions that exist.
NOTE: Use the slower speeds until you are familiar
with the operation of the snow thrower.
If engine is warm, push primer button only once.
•
Squeeze the traction control against the right
handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it
and the drive motion will stop.
NOTE: Always cover vent hole in primer button when
pushing. Additional priming may be necessary for first
start if temperature is below 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
IMPORTANT: Never move shift lever without first
releasing the traction control. Doing so will cause
premature wear to drive system’s friction wheel rubber.
•
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 Engage Augers
•
As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly,
rotate choke knob slowly to OFF position. If engine
falters, return to FULL choke, then slowly move to
OFF position.
To engage the augers and start snow throwing,
squeeze the auger control against the left handle.
To disengage augers, release both the auger control
and the traction control, if engaged.
NOTE: The auger control can also be locked so that
you can turn the chute directional control without
interrupting snow throwing. Refer to previous section
for details
To Stop Engine
•
To stop engine, remove the ignition key. Do not turn
key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark
plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment
is unattended.
Tire Chains (If equipped)
To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter, proceed
as follows:
Tire chains should be used whenever extra traction is
needed. Call our Customer Support Department, as
instructed on Page 2, for information on tire chains and
other optional accessories.
•
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.
•
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.
Operating Tips
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
as the engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
WARNING: Temperature of muffler and
surrounding areas may exceed 150oF. Avoid
these areas.
•
•
•
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.
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. Leave
throttle control lever in the STOP or OFF position.
Leave choke control in the FULL choke position.
Remove ignition key and disconnect spark plug
wire. Do not turn key.
•
•
•
•
For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for
normal usage.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
