9.Push the primer button (9). Every time you push the primer button (9), wait two sec- onds. For the number of times required to push the primer button (9), see the engine manufacturer’s instructions.

10.(Electric Start) Push on the electric start button (10) until the engine starts. Do not crank for more than 10 seconds at a time.

The electric starter is thermally protected. If the electric starter overheats, it will automati- cally stop and can only be restarted when it has cooled to a safe temperature. A wait of about 5 to 10 minutes is required to allow the electric starter to cool.

11.(Recoil Start) Rapidly pull the recoil starter handle (12). Do not allow the recoil starter handle (12) to snap back. Slowly return the recoil starter handle (12).

12.If the engine does not start in 5 or 6 tries, See the “Trouble Shooting Chart” Instruc- tions.

13.(Electric Start) When the engine starts, re- lease the electric start button (10) and move the choke control (14) to 1/2 choke position. When the engine runs smoothly, move the choke control (14) to the off posi- tion.

14.(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 05F, allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before blowing snow.

15.When throwing snow, always run the engine with the throttle control (13) in the fast posi- tion.

WARNING: 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 150°F. Avoid these areas.

How To Start A Warm Engine (Figure 2)

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 2)

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 throttle control (13), choke control (14), and recoil starter han- dle (12) several times.

How To Remove Snow or Debris From The Auger Housing (Figure 2)

WARNING: 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).

ENGLISH

2.Move the throttle control (13) to the stop position.

3.Remove (do not turn) the ignition key (8).

4.Disconnect the spark plug wire.

5.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.For maximum snow thrower efficiency, change the ground speed, NEVER change the engine speed. The engine is designed to deliver maximum performance at full throttle and must be run in the fast position at all times. In deep, freezing, or wet snow, reduce forward speed. If the wheels slip, also reduce forward speed.

2.Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished when the snow is removed immediately after if falls.

3.For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each previous path.

4.Whenever possible, discharge the snow down wind.

5.For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper bar is 1/8” above the skids. For ex- tremely hard-packed snow surfaces, adjust the skids upward so that the scraper bar touches the ground.

6.Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4 inch be- low the scraper bar. See “How To Adjust The Height Of The Skids” in the Maintenance section.

7.After each snow throwing job, allow the en- gine to idle for a few minutes. The snow and accumulated ice will melt off the engine.

8.Clean the snow thrower after each use.

9.Remove ice, snow and debris from the entire snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
