(Electric
Start) First disconnect
the power
cord from the three-hole
receptacle. Then,
disconnect the power cord from the switch
box (11).
NOTE: In temperatures
below 0°F, allow
the engine to warm up for several minutes
before blowing snow.
_1
ARNING: Never run the engine
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ven-
tilated areas.
Engine exhaust
con-
tains carbon monoxide, an odorless
and
deadly
gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and
loose clothing
away from any moving
parts
located
on the engine or the snow thrower.
The temperature
of muffler
and nearby
areas may exceed
190°F. Avoid these
areas.
How To Start A Warm Engine (Figure
6)
If an engine has been running and is still warm,
leave the choke control
(14) in the off position
and do not push the primer button
(9). If the
engine fails to start, follow the instructions
"How
To Start A Cold Engine".
NOTE:
Do not use the primer button (9) to
start a warm engine.
How To Start An Engine With A Frozen Electric
Starter
(Figure 6)
If the electric starter is frozen and will not turn
the engine, follow the instructions below.
1. Pull out the recoil starter handle (12) as far
as possible.
2. Quickly release the recoil starter handle
(12). Allow the recoil starter handle (12) to
snap back against the recoil starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the two pre-
vious steps until the engine starts. Then, contin-
ue with the directions "How To Start A Cold
Engine".
To help prevent the possible freeze-up
of the
recoil starter and of the engine controls, proceed
as follows after each snow removal job.
1. With the engine running, quickly pull the re-
coil starter handle (12) three or four times
with a continuous full arm stroke. This will
produce a loud clattering sound that is not
harmful to the engine or starter'.
2. Stop the engine. Wipe all snow and moisture
from the carburetor cover, control levers and
cables. Also move the choke control
(14)
and recoil starter handle (12) several times.
How To Remove
Snow
or Debris
From
The Auger
Housing
(Figure
6)
_
ARNING: Do not attempt to re-
move snow or debris that may be-
come lodged in auger housing
without taking the following
precautions.
1. Release the auger drive lever (5).
2. Remove the ignition key (8).
3. Disconnect the spark ptug wire.
4. Do not place your hands in the auger hous-
ing (4) or the discharge
chute (3). Use a
pry bar to remove any snow or debris.
Snow
Throwing
Tips
1. This snow thrower will propel itself forward
when the handle is raised enough to cause
the auger blades to contact the ground. The
auger should stop when auger control bar is
released. If it does not stop, see "How To Ad-
just The Auger Control Cable" in the adjust-
ment section.
2. Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished
when the snow is removed immediately
after
if falls.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly ovedap
each previous path.
4. Whenever possible, discharge the snow
down wind.
5. The distance the snow will be discharged
can be adjusted by moving the discharge
chute deflector. Raise the denector for more
distance or lower the deflector for less dis-
tance.
6. In windy conditions, lower the chute deflector
to direct the discharged snow close to the
ground where it is less likely to blow into un-
wanted areas.

7. For safety and to prevent damage to the
snow thrower, keep the area to be cleared
free of stones, toys and other foreign objects.
8. Do not use the auger propelling feature when
clearing gravel or crushed rock driveways.
Move the handle down to slightly raise the
auger_
9. The forward speed of the snow thrower is
dependent on the depth and weight of the
snow. Experience will establish the most ef-
fective method of using the snow thrower un-
der different conditions.
10.After each snow throwing job, allow the en-
gine to run for a few minutes. The snow and
accumulated ice will melt off the engine.
11. Clean the snow thrower after each use.
12. Remove ice, snow and debris from the entire
snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all
salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower
dry.
Dry And Average Snow
1. Snow up to eight inches deep can be re-
moved rapidIy and easily by walking at a
moderate rate. For snow or drifts of a greater
depth,slow your pace to allow the discharge
chute to dispose of the snow as rapidly as
the auger receives the snow.
2. Plan to have the snow discharged
in the di-
rection the wind is blowing.
Wet Packed Snow
Move slowly into wet, packed snow. If the wet,
packed snow causes the auger to slow down or
the discharge chute begins to clog, back off and
begin a series of short back and forth jabs into
the snow. These short back and forth jabs, four
to six inches, wilI "belch" the snow from the
chute.
Snow Banks And Drifts
In snow of greater depth than the unit, use the
same "jabbing" technique described above. Turn
the discharge chute away from the snow bank.
More time will be required to remove snow of
this type than level snow.
