tf the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:

Putl 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 unlit it starts..

To help prevent possible freeze-up of recoil starter and engine controls, proceed as follows after each snow removal job,.

oWith the engine running, putl the starter rope hard with a continuous full arm stroke three or four times. Pulling of starter rope will produce a loud clattering sound. This is not harmlu! to the engine or starter

eWith the engine not running, wipe all snow and moistu refrom the carburetor cover in area of control levers_ Also move throttle control, choke control, and starter handle several times.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

oFor maximum snow thrower efficiency, adjust ground speed, not throttle. Ifthe track slips, reduce forward speed_ The engine isdesigned to deliver maximum performance at full throttle and shou{d be run at this power setting at all times..

•Most efficient snow blowing is accomplished when the snow is removed immediately after it falls

eFor complete snow removal, slightly overlap each path previously taken.

eThe snow should be discharged down wind when- ever possible..

oFor normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper bar is 1/8" above the skids. For extremefy hard- packed snow surfaces, adjust the skids upward so that the scraper bar touches the ground

On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar (see Skids Height Ad- justment paragraph on page 16). Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine..

If the front of the snow thrower has a tendency to raise, reduce the ground speed and engage the weight transfer system.

After the snow blowing iob has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, which will melt snow and accumulated ice off the engine

oClean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use,

oRemove {ce and snow accumulation and all debris from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water (it possible) to remove all salt orotherchemicals. Wipe
