Gas And Oil Fill-up

WARNING: Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

Starting Engine

IMPORTANT: Prior to operating your snow thrower, read, understand and follow ALL instructions to perform adjustments found under the heading Auger Control Test on page 9 of this manual.

•Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal loop on end of the spark plug wire (inside

the boot) is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.

•Make certain the fuel cut-off valve, if your snow thrower is so equipped, is in OPEN position.

•Make certain the auger and drive clutch levers are in the disengaged (released) position.

•Move throttle control to FAST (Rabbit) position. Insert ignition key into slot. Be certain it snaps into place. Do not turn key.

NOTE: Engine will not start unless ignition key is inserted into ignition slot in carburetor cover.

Electric Starter

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

•If your house wiring system is not a three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric starter under any conditions.

WARNING: The 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.
