To start engine

Be sure fuel shut-off valve (F) is in the OPEN posi- tion.

Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 220 Volt A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is designed to operate on 220 Volt A.C. household current.

Be sure your house is a 220 Volt A.C. three-wire grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a licensed electrician.

WARNING: Do not use the electric starter if your house is not a 220 Volt A.C. three-wire grounded system. Serious personal injury or damage to your snow thrower could result.

COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER

1.Insert safety ignition key (D) (tied to recoil start cord) into the ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.

2.Place throttle control (C) in “FAST” position.

3.Rotate choke control (E) to “FULL” position.

4.Connect the power cord to the engine (S).

5.Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded 220 Volt A.C. receptacle.

NOTE: Do not use primer (T) when starting engine with the electric starter.

6.Push starter button (U) until engine starts.

IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five continu- ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to 10 seconds between each attempt.

7.When the engine starts, release the starter button and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” posi- tion.

8.Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first, then from the engine.

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature.

WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER

Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control (E) in the “OFF” position.

COLD START - RECOIL STARTER

1.Insert safety ignition key (D) (tied to recoil start cord) into the ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.

2.Place throttle control (C) in “FAST” position.

3.Rotate choke control (E) to “FULL” position.

4.Push the primer (T) four (4) times if the temperature is below –10°C (15°F), or two (2) times if temperature is between –10°C & 10°C (15°F & 50°F). If temperature is above 10°C (50°F), priming is not necessary.

NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the primer.

5.Pull recoil starter (V) handle quickly. Do not allow starter rope to snap back.

6.When the engine starts, release the recoil starter handle and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature.

WARM START - RECOIL STARTER

Follow the steps above, keeping the choke (E) in the “OFF” position. DO NOT push the primer (T).

Before stopping

Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-

ture on the engine.

If recoil starter has frozen

If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine, proceed as follows:

1.Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.

2.Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back against the starter.

If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or use the electric starter.

Motor anlassen

Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Benzin-Absperrventil (F) auf Position “OPEN” steht.

Der Motor Ihrer Schneefräse ist sowohl mit einem 220Volt A.C. Elektrostarter, als auch mit einem Anreißstarter ausgestattet. Der Elektrostarter ist mit einem dreidrahtigen Netzkabel und Netzstecker ausgestattet, und ist für den Betrieb bei einem Haushaltsstrom von 220 Volt A.C. geeignet.

Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihr Haus ein geerdetes 220 Volt A.C. Sicherheitssystem besitzt. Falls Sie sich dessen nicht sicher sind, befragen Sie einen Elektriker.

WARNUNG: Verwenden Sie den Elektrostarter nicht, falls Ihr Haus kein geerdetes 220 Volt A.C. Sicherheitssystem besitzt. Dies könnte ernsthafte Verletzungen oder Schäden an Ihrer Schneefräse zur Folge haben.

KALTSTART - ELEKTROSTARTER

1.Stecken Sie den Sicherheitszündschlüssel (D) (Mit dem Startseilzug verbunden) in das Zündschloss, bis es klickt. Schlüssel NICHT umdrehen. Bewahren Sie den Ersatz- sicherheitszündschlüssel an einem sicheren Ort auf.

2.Stellen Sie den Gashebel (C) auf Position “FAST”.

3.Drehen Sie den Choke-Bedienungsknopf (E) auf Position “FULL”.

4.Schließen Sie das Netzkabel am Motor an (S).

5.Schließen Sie das andere Ende des Netzkabels an eine geerdete 220 Volt A.C. Schutzkontaktsteckdose an.

HINWEIS: Bei elektrischem Motorstart nie die Einspritzvor- richtung (T) verwenden.

6.Drücken Sie den Startknopf (U), bis der Motor ans- pringt.

WICHTIG: Kurbeln Sie den Motor nie länger als fünf Sekunden lang zwischen jedem Startversuch an. Warten Sie zwischen den Startversuchen 5 bis 10 Sekunden.

7.Sobald der Motor anspringt, lassen Sie den Startknopf los und bewegen Sie den Choke-Bedienungsknopf langsam in Richtung der “OFF” Position.

8.Stecken Sie das Netzkabel erst aus der Steckdose, dann aus dem Motor aus.

Lassen Sie den Motor ein paar Minuten lang warmlaufen. Der Motor wird seine volle Leistung erst bei normaler Betrie- bstemperatur erreichen.

WARMSTART - ELEKTROSTARTER

Folgen Sie den obigen Anweisungen und lassen Sie dabei den Choke-Bedienungsknopf auf Position “OFF”.

KALTSTART - ANREISSSTARTER

1.Stecken Sie den Sicherheitszündschlüssel (D) (Mit dem Startseilzug verbunden) in das Zündschloss, bis es klickt. Schlüssel NICHT umdrehen. Bewahren Sie den Ersatz- sicherheitszündschlüssel an einem sicheren Ort auf.

2.Stellen Sie den Gashebel (C) auf Position “FAST”.

3.Drehen Sie den Choke-Bedienungsknopf (E) auf Position “FULL”.

4.Bei Temperaturen unter –10°C (15°F) betätigen Sie die Einspritzvorrichtung (T) vier (4) mal, bei Temperaturen über –10°C & 10°C (15°F & 50°F) zwei (2) mal. Bei Tempera- turen über 10°C (50°F) ist kein Einspritzen notwendig.
