TO STOP ENGnNE (Fig. 8)
TOstop the engine, turn the key to OFF and remove keyr
Keep key in a safe place° The engine will not starl without
the key.
TO START THE ENGINE
(Recoil Starter) Fig. 8
Before starling the engine, be certain that you have read
and understood all the instructions on the preceding
pages.
COLD START
Insert the key and turn ON1.
Move the choke control to FULL position.
Push the pdmer button while covering the vent hole
as follows: ( Remove finger' from primer button
between pdmes).
Do not prime iftemperature is above 50°F.
Two times iftemperature is 50 ° F_to 15 ° F
Four times if temperature is below 15° F
@
Remove finger from primer button between
primes..
Pult the starter hand!e with a smooth rapid move-
ment. Do not allow the starter rope to snap back.
Rewind smoothly while holding the starter handle. If
the engine fires but does not start, pull the starter
handle until the engine starts..
TION
SNOW THROWING TiPS
@ After three pulls, repeat thepriming and pulling steps
again..
@ As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly,
move choke lever slowly to OFF position, tfthe engine
falters, return to 1/2 choke until itrunssmoothly, then
move to OFF position.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for'a few minutes
before using the snow thrower, as the engine will not
develop lull power untilit reaches operating temperature.
@ This snow throwerwill propel itself forward when the
handle is raised enough to cause the auger blades to
contact the ground
@ For most efficient snow throwing, turn the discharge
chute deflector to throw snow downwind, and slightly
overlap each swath. Use more overlap in deep snow
to prevent overloading
e The distance snow will be discharged can be ad-
justed by moving the discharge chute deflectoL Raise
the deflector for more distance or lower the deflector
for less distance.
0 Irlwindy conditions, lower the chute deflector todirect
discharged snow close to the ground, where itis less
likelyto blow into unwanted areas,
0 Keep the area to be plowed free of stones, toys and
other foreign objects Such items mightbe covered by
the first snow fall and picked up by the auger while
plowing.
DRY AND AVERAGE SNOW
@ Snow up to eight inch depth can be removed rapidly
by walking at a moderate rate For snow or drifts of
a greater depth, you may find itdesirable to slow your
pace to allow the discharge chute to dispose of the
snow as rapidly as the auger receives the snow..
@ Plan to have the snow discharged in the direction the
wind is blowing.
WARM START
@ Move the choke to the OFF position and pull the
starter handle until the engine starts_
@ Do not prime awarm engine. Ifthe enginefailsto start,
follow the Cold Engine Start instructions above.
WET PACKED SNOW
@ Move slowly into snow of this condition.. The greater
the depth, the slower you should go..When it appears
that the wet, packed snow is causing the auger to
slow down and the chute to clog, back off and begin
a series of short jabs into the snow.These short back
and forth, 4 to 6 inch jabbing motions will "belch" the
snow from the chute°
SNOW BANKS AND DRIFTS
@
In snow of greater depth than the unit, use the
"jabbling" technique described above Turn the dis-
charge chute away from the snow bank. More time
will be required to remove snow of this type than level
snow,,
CAUTION: OBJECTS SUCH AS GRAVEL,
ROCKS OR OTHER DEBRIS, IF STRUCK
BY THE AUGER, MAY BE THROWN WITH
SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CAUSE PER-
SONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
