STARTING THE ENGINE
1.Turn the fuel valve (B, Figures 8 & 9) to the ON posi- tion.
2.Insert the Engine Key (F, Figures 8 & 9) into the Engine Key slot and push fully in to the RUN position.
3.Move the Throttle Lever (E, Figures 8 & 9) fully up to the FAST position.
4.Fully close the Choke (G, Figures 8 & 9) if engine is cold. (Do not choke a warm engine.)
5.Push the Primer Button (D, Figures 8 & 9) two times if engine is cold. (Do not prime a warm engine.)
6.Pull Starter Handle (C, Figures 8 & 9) rapidly, or push Starter Button if equipped with the electric start. Do not allow the Starter Handle to snap
7.As the engine starts and begins to operate evenly, open the Choke (G, Figures 8 & 9) slowly and set the Throttle Lever to SLOW. If the engine falters, turn the Choke Knob clockwise until the engine runs smooth- ly, and let it run briefly before returning the choke to the OPEN position.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up at SLOW throttle for a few minutes before operating the snowthrower at full speed. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.
