•Push the primer button while covedng the vent hole as follows: (Remove finger from primer button between primes). See figure on page 9 for location.
One time if temperature is above 50°F.
Two times if temperature is 50°F to 15°F. Four times if temperature is below 15°F.
•Push down on the starter button until the
engine starts. Do not crank for more than 10 seconds at a time. This electdc starter
is thermally protected. If overheated it will stop automatically and can be restarted only when it has cooled to a safe temperature (a wait of about 5 to 10 minutes is required).
•When the engine starts, release the starter button and move choke lever to "1/2 choke" position. When engine runs
smoothly, move choke lever to =No Choke" Position.
•Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first and then from the switch box on engine.
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.
TO START ENGINE (Recoil Starter)
Be sure that the engine has sufficient oil. The snow thrower engine is equipped with a
recoil starter. Before starting the engine, be certain that you have read the following in- formation:
COLD START
•Be sure the auger drive and traction drive
levers are in the disengaged (released) position.
•Move the throttle control to 4_ (FAST)

•Rotate the choke knob to H choke ON position. See figure on page 9.
•Push the primer button, see figure on page 9, while covering the vent hole as follows: (Remove finger from primer but- ton between primes).
One time if temperature is above 50°F.
Two times if temperature is 50°F to 15°F.
Four times if temperature is below 15°E
•Pull the recoil starter handle rapidly.Do not allow the handle to snap back, but al-
low 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 tem- peratures 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, tf the engine fails to start, follow the Cold Start Instructions on
