Recoil Starter

MPORTANT: Do not pull the starter handle with engine running.

WARNING: To avoid unsupervised engine operation, never leave the engine unattended while running. Turn the engine off after use and remove ignition key.

1.Insert ignition key fully into slot. Make sure it snaps into place. DO NOT turn ignition key. The engine cannot start unless the key is inserted into ignition switch.

2.Move throttle control to FAST (rabbit) position.

3.Move choke to the ON position (cold engine start). If engine is warm, place choke in OFF position.

4.Push primer three to five (3-5) times, making sure to cover vent hole when pushing. If engine is warm, push primer only once. Always cover vent hole when push- ing. Cool weather may require priming to be repeated.

5.Pull gently on the starter handle until it begins to resist, then pull quickly and forcefully to overcome the compression. Do not release the handle and allow it to snap back. Return rope SLOWLY to original position. If required, repeat this step.

6.As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to OFF position. If the engine falters, restart engine and run with choke at half-choke position for a short period of time, and then slowly rotate the choke into OFF position.

Stopping the Engine

WARNING: To avoid unsupervised en- gine operation, never leave the engine unattended while running. Turn the engine off after use and remove ignition key

Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.

1.Move throttle control to STOP position.

2.Remove the ignition key. Removing the key will reduce the possibility of unauthorized starting of the engine while equipment is not in use. Keep the key in a safe place. The engine cannot start without the ignition key.

3.Wipe all snow and moisture from the area around the engine as well as the area in and around the drive control and auger control. Also, engage and release both controls several times.

To Engage Augers

1.To engage the augers and start throwing snow, squeeze the auger control against the handle. Release to stop the augers.

Engaging the Drive

1.Lifting up on the handle will allow the rubber on the augers to propel the snow thrower forward. Pushing downward on the handle will raise the augers off the ground and stop forward motion.

NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result in premature wear on the rubber auger blades which would not be covered by warranty.

2.Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry any moisture on the engine.

3.Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
