If the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:
1.Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
2.Release the starter handle and let it snap back against the starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the
two previous steps until the engine starts. Then continue with the direc-

SNOW THROWING TIPS
1.When the handle is raised, the au-

ward. When the auger drive lever is released, the auger blades will stop. If the blades do not stop, see "How
To Adjust The Auger Drive Cable" in the Service And Adjustment section.
2.Most efficient snow throwing is ac- complished when the snow is re- moved immediately after if falls.
3.For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each previous path.
4.Whenever possible, discharge the snow down wind.
5.The distance the snow will be dis- charged can be adjusted by moving the discharge chute deflector. Raise the deflector for more distance or lower the deflector for less distance.
6, In windy conditions, lower the chute deflector to direct the discharged
snow close to the ground where it is less likely to blow into unwanted areas.
7.For safety and to prevent damage to the snow thrower, keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys and other foreign objects.
