Note: Remove your glove when you push in the primer so that air cannot escape from the primer hole.

Important: Do not use the primer or the choke if the engine has been running as is hot. Excessive priming may flood the engine and prevent it from starting.

4.Connect an extension cord to a power source and the snowthrower, and push the electric-start button (model 38584 only) (Figure 13) or pull the recoil starter (Figure 14).

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 (model 38584 only).

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