NOTE: Use an extension cord recommended for outdoor use that is not longer than 50 feet (15 m).

The electrical cord can become damaged, causing a shock or fire.

Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before plug- ging it into a power source. If the cord is damaged, do not use it to start the snowthrower. Replace or repair the damaged cord immediately. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.

IMPORTANT: Run the electric starter no more than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off. Running the electric starter extensively can overheat and damage it. If the engine does not start after this series of attempts, wait at least 40 minutes to allow the starter to cool before attempting to start it again. If the engine does not start after the second series of attempts, take the snowthrower to an Authorized Service Dealer for service.

NOTE: If you pull the recoil handle and feel no resistance, the starter may be frozen. Thaw out the starter before attempting to start the snowthrower.

5.While the engine is running, move the choke lever slowly to the right position.
