•Push the primer button, see figure on page 8, while covering the vent hole as follows: (remove finger from primer but- ton between primes).
One time if temperature is above 50oF.
Two times if temperature is 50_F to 15°t:.
Four times if temperature is below
15°F.
•Pull the recoil starter handle rapidly. Do not allow the handle to snap back, but al-
tow it to rewind slowly while keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.
•As engine starts warms up move choke lever to "1/2 choke" position. When engine runs smoothly, move choke lever to "No Choke" Position.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before blowing snow in
temperatures below 0°F.
•Run the engine at full throttle "_ (Fast) when throwing snow.
WARM START
If restarting a warm engine after a short shutdown, leave choke at (Off) and do not push the primer button. If the engine fails to start, follow the Cold Start instructions
above.
FROZEN RECOIL STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:
•Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
•Release the starter handle and let it snap back against the starter.
If the starter still fails to turn engine, repeat the two previous steps until the starter en- gages. Then continue with the directions for cold start.
To help prevent possible
•With the engine running, pull the starter
rope hard with a continuous full arm stroke three or four times. Pulling of
starter rop_ will produce a _oud clattering sound. This is not harmful to the engine
or starter.
•With 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.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
•For maximum snow thrower efficiency
operate engine at (Full) throttle. The en- gine is designed to deliver maximum performance at full throttle and should be run at this power setting at all times.
•Most efficient snow throwing is accom- plished when the snow is removed immediately after it falls.
•For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each path previously taken.
•The snow should be discharged down wind whenever possible.
•After the snow throwing job has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, which wilt melt the snow and accumulated ice off the engine.
•Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
•Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debds from the entire snowthrower,
and flush with water (if possible) to re- move all salt or other chemicals. Wipe
snow thrower dry.
