®Move the throttle control up to FAST position.

Push the key into the ignition slot Be sure it snaps into place. Do not turn key. Remove ptastic bag and

extra key.

®Rotate choke control to FULL choke position Press the primer button two or three times, while keeping your finger over the vent hole on the primer button. Additional priming may be necessary for the first start if the temperature is below 15° F

ePull 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..

OAs the engine warms up and begins to operate evenly, rotate the choke knob slowly to OFF posi- tion. If the engine falters, return to FULL choke, then slowly move to OFF choke position

WARM START

If restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown, leave choke at OFF and do not push the primer button

FROZEN RECOIL STARTER

If the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:

Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.

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

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

e, With the engine running, pull the starter rope hard with a co ntinuous full arm stroke three or four times.. Pulling of starter rope will produce a loud clattering sound. This is not harmful to the engine or starter

oWith the engine not running, wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover in area of control

levers.. Also move throttle control, choke control, and starter handle several times and leave in off

position.. Leave choke in Full position
