Starting the Engine:

CAUTION

To help prevent serious personal injury or damage to equipment:

•Always place Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever into NEUTRAL before starting engine, and before engaging wheels, tines or other PTO-driven attachments.

•Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

•Avoid engine muffler and nearby

areas. Temperatures in these areas may exceed 150oF.

1.With the engine off, place the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever (Figure

4-2) in the NEUTRAL position. If in the FORWARD position, tap the lever sharply upward, it should automatically move into NEUTRAL position.

2.Put the Depth Regulator Lever in the Travel position (lever all the way down) so that the tines are off the ground. To do this, lift up on the handlebars, pull the lever (Figure 4-2) back, and push it down all the way to the top detent (notched) position.

3.Move the Wheel Speed Lever (Figure 4-2) to either the SLOW or FAST position. Be sure to roll the wheels while shifting the lever until the wheels engage.

NOTE: If using a PTO stationary attach- ment, move the Wheel Speed Lever into FREEWHEEL and block the wheels to prevent the equipment from moving (Figure 4-29 on page 29).

4.Move the Tines/PTO Clutch Lever into DISENGAGE position (Figure 4-2).

NOTE: Use the ENGAGE position if you want the tines to revolve or to apply power to a PTO-driven stationary attachment.

5.If engine is equipped with a fuel valve, turn valve to OPEN position as instructed in the separate Engine Owner’s Manual.

6.If engine is equipped with an ON/OFF switch, move the switch to ON.

7.Move engine throttle lever (Figure 4-2) away from STOP.

8.Choke or prime engine as instructed in the separate Engine Owner’s Manual.

9.If not equipped with an electric start system, place one hand on the fuel tank to stabilize the unit when you pull the recoil starter rope. Use the recoil starter rope to start the engine as instructed in the separate Engine Owner’s Manual.

10.If equipped with an electric start system, turn key to START position to crank engine then release when engine starts. If the engine does not start right away, do not hold key at START for more than a few seconds. Release then try again after a short pause. Damage to starter motor can occur if it is cranked more than 15 seconds per minute.

11.If the engine does not start after a number of tries, refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for specific instructions.

12.When engine starts, move the Throttle Lever to the SLOW position and then gradually move choke lever (on engines so equipped) to OFF or RUN position.

13.Move the throttle speed control to FAST setting when tilling.

Starting Electric Start Engines with the Recoil Starter Rope

You may, at some point, have to start an electric start engine with the recoil starter rope. Before attempting to do so, perform the following applicable steps:

•If you suspect the battery charge is weak, and there is no visible damage. Disconnect cables from battery and clean both cable terminals, and the battery posts in accordance with the instructions provided in Section 5, Battery Care and Maintenance.

E682L, E686N, 682J specifications

The Troy-Bilt E682L and E682J are two powerful and efficient snow throwers designed for residential use, enabling homeowners to tackle winter's toughest snow challenges with ease. Both models are part of Troy-Bilt's commitment to creating durable equipment that simplifies outdoor maintenance.

One of the main features of the Troy-Bilt E682L and E682J is their robust engine. Equipped with a reliable 243cc OHV (Overhead Valve) engine, these snow throwers provide robust power, ensuring that users can clear snow quickly and effectively. The engines are designed for easy starting, even in cold conditions, so you won’t have to worry about fumbling with difficult pull cords when snowy weather strikes.

Another significant characteristic of these models is their 24-inch clearing width combined with a 21-inch intake height. This allows for efficient snow removal, enabling users to clear driveways and sidewalks with fewer passes. The heavy-duty auger system is engineered to cut through packed snow with ease, ensuring that even the toughest winter weather conditions don’t stand a chance.

Both the E682L and E682J feature a 180-degree adjustable chute that directs the snow where it needs to go. This puts control in the hands of the user, preventing snow from being thrown back onto the paths that have already been cleared. The quick-release chute deflector allows for easy height adjustments, giving users the flexibility to adapt to different snow conditions.

These models are also designed with user comfort in mind. The Troy-Bilt E682L and E682J come with heated hand grips, which make operating the snow thrower more pleasant during long periods in cold weather. The ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip, and the adjustable handle height ensures that users of various sizes can operate the machine comfortably.

Additionally, both models feature large, rugged tires that provide enhanced traction on various surfaces, whether it’s icy pavement or a snow-covered driveway. This design consideration contributes to their overall stability and maneuverability, allowing users to navigate through challenging winter conditions with confidence.

In summary, the Troy-Bilt E682L and E682J snow throwers are powerful, user-friendly machines equipped with essential features that make snow removal efficient and manageable. With their reliable engines, robust clearing capabilities, adjustable chutes, and comfortable handling, these models are valuable tools for any homeowner looking to stay ahead of winter weather.
