Operation

Starting The Engine

1.Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal loop on the end of the spark plug wire (inside the rubber boot) is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.

2.Make certain both the auger control and drive control are in the disengaged (released) position.

3.Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert ignition key into slot. Make sure it snaps into place. Do not attempt to turn the key.

NOTE: The engine cannot start unless the key is inserted into ignition switch.

Electric Starter

Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain.

Warning! The optional electric starter is equipped with a grounded three-wire power cord and plug, and is designed to operate on 120 volt AC

household current. It must be used with a properly grounded three-prong receptacle at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Follow all instructions carefully prior to operating the electric starter.

If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle, proceed as follows:

1.Plug the extension cord into the outlet located on the engine’s surface. Plug the other end of extension cord into a three-prong 120-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a well- ventilated area.

2.Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (for a cold engine start).

NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF position instead of FULL.

3.Push the primer two or three times for cold engine start, making sure to cover vent hole in the center of the primer when pushing.

NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.

4.Push starter button to start engine. Once the engine starts, release starter button.

NOTE: Do NOT hold the button down for longer than seven

(7) seconds at a time. Doing so may damage your engine’s electric starter.

5.As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the

OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly rotate the choke control back toward FULL choke, and then slowly into the

OFF position again.

6.When disconnecting the extension cord, always unplug the end at the three-prong wall outlet before unplugging the opposite end from the snow thrower.

Recoil Starter

1.Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (cold engine start).

NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF position instead of FULL.

2.Push the primer two or three times for cold engine start, making sure to cover vent hole in the center of the primer when pushing.

NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.

NOTE: Additional priming may be necessary if the temperature is below 15° Fahrenheit.

3.Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the rope out. At the point where it becomes slightly harder to pull the rope, stop pulling and allow the rope to slowly recoil.

4.Pull the starter handle with a firm, rapid stroke. Do not release the handle and allow it to snap back. Keep a firm hold on the starter handle and allow it to slowly recoil.

5.As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly rotate the choke control back toward the FULL choke position, and then slowly into the OFF position again.

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after starting. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperatures.

Stopping The Engine

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

1.Position the On/Off switch to “Off” position.

2.Remove the ignition key and store in a safe place.

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.
