Starting the Engine DANGER: Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing
exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may
lead to death. Do not operate the engine in a
confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can collect.
Starting the Engine Using the Recoil Start
NOTE: Be sure to add fresh unleaded gasoline and leave
a gap for expansion and fill the engine with SAE5-W30
motor oil (1.2—1.5 quarts) before starting your snow
blower. Check engine oil before each use.
1. Make sure the safety key is fully inserted in order for
the engine to start. Remove the key when the snow
blower is not in use.
2. Firmly push the primer to force the fuel directly into
the engine’s carburetor. Push two to three times
depending on the temperature. Note: Do not press
the primer button more than 5 times. Fuel may leak
from the carburetor with over priming.
3. Make sure the choke is set in the CHOKE 1 position
(choke more in colder temperatures).
4. Pull the recoil to start the engine.
5. After the engine is started, slowly turn the choke up
one level at a time as the engine warms up until it is
at the maximum level or “RUN LEVEL.”
Before attempting to use your snow blower, make sure you
are familiar with all of the components and have read the
manual.
