1.Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.
2.Electric Starter (optional): Connect power cord to switch box on engine, then to 120 volt AC receptacle. With the engine running, push starter button and spin the starter for several seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the starter will not harm engine or starter. Disconnect the power cord from receptacle first, and then from switch box.
3.Recoil Starter: With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three or four times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clatter- ing sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.
4.Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move control levers back and forth several times. Leave choke control in the FULL choke position.
5.Remove ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.
Operating Tips
1.Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly overlap each previously cleared path.
2.Lifting up on the handle will allow the rubber on the augers to propel the snow thrower forward. Pushing downward on the handle will raise the augers off the ground and stop forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result in premature wear on the rubber auger blades which would not be covered by warranty.
3.Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry any moisture on the engine.
4.Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
