•Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first and then from the switch box on the engine.

•Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes because the engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature. Operate the engine at full throttle (FAST) when throwing snow.

Warm Start

•If restarting a warm engine, rotate choke to OFF instead of FULL and press the starter button.

Recoil Starter

Make sure that the engine has sufficient oil and the auger drive and the traction drive levers are released.

•Move throttle control to FAST position.

•Push key into the ignition slot so that it snaps into place. Do not turn key.

•Rotate choke control to FULL choke position.

•Push the primer button while covering the vent hole. Remove your finger from the primer between primes. Do not prime if temperature is above 50o F; prime two times between 50o F and 15o F; and prime four times below 15o F.

•Pull the starter handle rapidly. Do not allow the handle to snap back, but allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.

•As the engine warms up and begins to operate evenly, rotate the choke knob slowly to OFF position. If the engine falters, return to FULL choke, then slowly move to OFF choke position.

•Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes because the engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.

•Operate the engine at full throttle (FAST) when throwing snow.

Warm Start

•If restarting a warm engine after a temporary shut down, rotate choke to OFF instead of FULL and do not prime. Press the starter button.

Frozen Recoil Starter

If the starter is frozen and will not turn the engine, pro- ceed as follows:

•Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.

•Release the starter handle and let it snap back against the starter.

•If the engine still fails to start, repeat the first two steps. If continued attempts do not free starter, follow the electric starter procedures to start.

•Avoid possible freezing of recoil starter and the engine controls.

To Engage Drive

•With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever to one of six FORWARD positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed appropriate

for the snow conditions that exist. Use slower speeds until you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

•Squeeze the traction drive clutch grip against the right handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it and the drive motion will stop.

To Engage Augers

•To engage the augers and start snow throwing, squeeze the left hand auger clutch grip against the left handle. Release to stop augers.

•While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the traction drive control to move, release to stop. Do not shift speeds while the drive is engaged.

NOTE: This same lever also locks the auger control so you can turn the chute crank without interrupting the snow throwing process.

•Release the auger control; the interlock mechanism should keep the auger control engaged until the traction drive control is released.

•Release the traction drive control to stop both the augers and the wheel drive.

WARNING: To stop the auger, both levers must be released

To Throw Snow

CAUTION: Check the area to be cleared for foreign objects. Remove, if any.

•Start the engine following starting instructions.

•Rotate the discharge chute to the desired direction, away from bystanders and/or buildings. Move the chute distance control forward or backward to adjust the distance the snow is to be thrown.

•Select the speed according to snow condition.

CAUTION: Never move the shift lever without first releasing the drive clutch.

•Engage the auger control and traction drive control levers following instructions above.

•The interlock feature will allow you to remove your left hand from the auger control lever.

•When clearing the first pass through the snow, control the traction speed of the snow thrower according to the depth and condition of snow.

•To turn the unit left, squeeze left trigger; to turn right, squeeze right trigger.

•On each succeeding pass, readjust the chute deflector to the desired position and slightly overlap the previously cleared path.

•After the area is cleared, stop the snow thrower following instructions given below.
