CHOKE CONTROL

The choke control is found on the rear of the
engine and is activated by rotating the knob
counter-clockwise. Activating the choke control
closes the choke plate on the carburetor and aids
in starting the engine.
KEY
The key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted
in order for the engine to start. Remove the key
when the snow thrower is not in use.
NOTE: Do not turn the key in an attempt to start
the engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
