above 50 ° F (10 ° C).
• Push two times if temperature is
50 ° F (10 ° C) to 15°F (-10 ° C).

7. (Electric Start) Push down on the
starter button until the engine
starts. Do not crank for more than
10 seconds at a time. This electric
starter is thermally protected. If
overheated it will stop automatically
and can be restarted only when it
has cooled to a safe temperature (a
wait of about 5 to 10 minutes is re-
quired).
8. (Reco# Start) Rapidly pull the re-
coil starter handle. Do not allow
the recoil starter handle to snap
back. Slowly return the recoil start-
er handle.

choke control to "1/2 choke" posi-
tion. When engine runs smoothly,
move choke control to the off
Position.
11. (Electric Start) First disconnect
power cord from receptacle. Then,
disconnect the power cord from the
switch box.

when throwing snow.
Allow the engine to warm up for several
minutes before blowing snow in temper-
atures below 0°F.
How To Start A Warm Engine
If restarting a warm engine after a short
shutdown, leave the choke lever in the
off position and do not push the primer
button. If the engine fails to start, follow
the Cold Start instructions.
FROZEN STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn
engine:
1. Pull as much rope out of the starter
as possible.
2. Release the starter handle and let it
snap back against the starter. Re-
peat until the engine starts.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of
recoil starter and engine controls, pro-
ceed as follows after each snow remov-
al job.
1. With the engine running, pull the
starter rope hard with a continuous
full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling of starter rope will produce a
loud clattering sound. This is not
harmful to the engine or starter.
2. With the engine not running, wipe all
snow and moisture from the carbu-
retor cover in area of control levers.
Also move throttle control, choke
control, and starter handle several
times.
