NOTE: In temperatures below 0° F, allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before blowing snow.
WARNING: Never run the engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair, and loose clothing away from any moving parts located on the engine or the snow thrower. The temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150° F. Avoid these areas.
HOW TO START A WARM ENGINE
(Figure 3) If an engine has been running and is still warm, leave the choke control (11) in the OFF position and do not push the primer button (7). If the engine fails to start, follow the instructions “How To Start A Cold Engine.”
NOTE: Do not use the primer button (7) to start a warm engine.
HOW TO START A WARM ENGINE WITH A FROZEN STARTER
If the electric starter is frozen and will not turn the engine, follow the instructions below.
1.(Figure 3) Pull out the recoil starter handle (10) as far as possible.
2.Quickly release the recoil starter handle (10) to snap back against the recoil starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the two pre- vious steps until the engine starts. Then, continue with the directions “How To Start A Cold Engine.”
To help prevent the possible freeze-up of the recoil starter and of the engine controls, proceed as follows after each snow removal job.
1.With the engine running, quickly pull the re- coil starter handle (10) three or four times with a continuous full arm stroke. This will produce a loud clattering sound that is not harmful to the engine or starter.
2.Stop the engine. Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover, control levers, and cables. Also move the choke control (11) and recoil starter handle (10) several times.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
1.This snow thrower will propel itself forward when the handle is raised enough to cause the auger blades to contact the ground. The auger should stop when auger control bar is released. If it does not stop, see “How To Adjust The Auger Control Cable” in the Maintenance section.
2.Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished when the snow if removed immediately after it falls.
