NOTE: Always cover vent hole in primer button when pushing. Additional priming may be necessary for first

start if temperature is below 15oF.

•Electric Start: Push starter button on top of the engine to crank the engine. When engine starts, release starter button.

•Recoil Start: Grasp starter handle (see Figure 15) and pull rope out slowly, until it pulls slightly harder. Let rope rewind slowly. Pull starter handle rapidly.

Do not allow handle to snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.

•Repeat step 9 until engine starts. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 8 and 9 until engine starts.

•As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly, rotate choke knob slowly to OFF position. If engine falters, return to FULL choke, then slowly move to OFF position.

Stopping engine

•Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.

•To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter,

proceed as follows.

Electric Starter: 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.

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 clattering sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.

•To stop engine, remove the ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

NOTE: Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a safe place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.

•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 throttle control lever in the STOP or OFF position. Leave choke control in the FULL choke position.

To engage drive

•With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever into one of the five FORWARD positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed appropriate for the snow conditions that exist. Use the slower speeds until you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

•Squeeze the auger clutch grip and the augers will turn. Release it and the augers will stop.

•Squeeze the drive clutch grip and the snow thrower will move. Release it and drive motion will stop.

•NEVER move shift lever without releasing drive clutch.

To engage augers

To engage the augers and start the snow throwing action, squeeze the auger clutch grip against the left handle. Release to stop the augers.

Tire chains (optional equipment)

Tire chains should be used whenever extra traction is needed.

Operating tips

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes as the engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.

WARNING: Temperature of muffler and surrounding areas may exceed 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid these areas.

•For most efficient snow removal, remove snow immediately after it falls.

•Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly overlap each previous swath.

•Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when using on gravel or crushed rock.

•Be certain to follow the precautions listed under ‘‘To Stop Engine’’ to prevent possible freeze-up.

•Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
