•
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 required).
•
When the engine starts, release the starter
button and slowly rotate the choke to OFF
position. If the engine falters, rotate the choke to
FULL and then gradually to OFF.
•
Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle
first and then from the switch box on the engine.
•
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
because the engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperature.
•
Operate the engine at full throttle (FAST) when
throwing snow.
Warm Start
•
If restarting a warm engine after a shut down,
rotate choke to OFF instead of FULL and press
the starter button.
B. Recoil Starter
Make sure that the engine has sufficient oil and the
auger drive and the traction drive levers are released.
•
Move throttle control to FAST position.
•
Push key into the ignition slot so that it snaps
into place. Do not turn key. Remove plastic bag
and keep the second key in a safe place.
•
Rotate choke control to FULL choke position.
•
Push the primer button while covering the vent
hole. Remove your finger from the primer between
primes. Do not prime if temperature is above
o
50
F; prime two times between 50
and prime four times below 15
•
Pull the starter handle rapidly. Do not allow the
handle to snap back, but allow it to rewind slowly
while keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.
•
As the engine warms up and begins to operate
evenly, rotate the choke knob slowly to OFF
position. If the engine falters, return to FULL
choke, then slowly move to OFF choke position.
•
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
because the engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperature.
•
Operate the engine at full throttle (FAST) when
throwing snow.
Warm Start
•
If restarting a warm engine after a temporary
shut down, rotate choke to OFF instead of FULL
and do not prime. Press the starter button.
Frozen Recoil Starter
If the starter is frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
o
o
F and 15
F;
o
F.

•
Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
•
Release the starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
•
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the first two
steps. If continued attempts do not free starter,
follow the electric starter procedures to start.
•
Avoid possible freezing of recoil starter and the
engine controls.
Operating Snow Thrower
To Engage Drive
•
With the engine running near top speed, move
shift lever to one of six FORWARD positions or
two REVERSE positions. Select a speed
appropriate for the snow conditions that exist.
Use slower speeds until you are familiar with the
operation of the snow thrower.
•
Squeeze the traction drive clutch grip against
the right handle and the snow thrower will move.
Release it and the drive motion will stop.
To Engage Augers
•
To engage the augers and start snow throwing,
squeeze the left hand auger clutch grip against
the left handle. Release to stop augers.
•
While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the
traction drive control to move, release to stop.
Do not shift speeds while the drive is engaged.
NOTE: This same lever also locks the auger control
so you can turn the chute crank without interrupting
the snow throwing process.
•
Release the auger control; the interlock
mechanism should keep the auger control
engaged until the traction drive control is
released.
•
Release the traction drive control to stop both
the augers and the wheell drive.
WARNING: To stop the auger, both levers
must be released.
To Throw Snow
CAUTION: Check the area to be cleared for
foreign objects. Remove, if any.
•
Start the engine following Starting instructions.
•
Rotate the discharge chute to the desired
direction, away from bystanders and/or
buildings. Move the chute distance control
forward or backward to adjust the distance the
snow is to be thrown.
•
Select the speed according to snow condition.
CAUTION: Never move the shift lever
without first releasing the drive clutch.
