NOTE:When engaging the electric starter, a slight
hesitation of a few seconds may occur before the
engine starts to turn. This is normal and is not harmful
to the engine.
14. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first
and then from the switch box on the engine.
15. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
because the engine will not develop full power until
it reaches operating temperature. Operate at FULL
throttle when throwing snow.
NOTE: If the starter motor runs but the engine does not
turn over, the starter gear may have frozen. Place the
snow thrower in a warmer part of the garage till the gear
is free of the accumulated ice.
Warm Start
If restarting a warm engine, rotate choke to OFF
instead of FULL and press the starter button. Do not
push the primer button.
B. Recoil Starter
Make sure that the auger control and the drive control
are released.
Cold Start
1. Move throttle control to FAST position.
2. Turn fuel valve on, if so equipped.
3. Push key into the ignition slot so that it snaps into
place. Do not turn key. Remove plastic bag and
keep the second key in a safe place.
4. Rotate choke control to FULL choke position.
5. Push the primer button while
covering the vent hole. Remove
your finger from the primer
between primes. Do not prime if
temperature is above 50° F.
Prime two times when
temperature is between 50°F and
15°F and four times below 15°F.
6. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until
engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope
will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope
rewind slowly.
7. Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke.
Keeping a firm grip on the starter handle, let the
rope return to the starter slowly. Repeat until
engine starts
8. As the engine warms up, rotate the choke knob
slowly to OFF position. If the engine falters, return
to FULL choke, then slowly move to OFF choke
position.
9. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
because the engine will not develop full power until
it reaches operating temperature.
10. Operate the engine at full throttle (FAST) when
throwing snow.
Frozen Recoil Starter
If the starter is frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
1. Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
2. Release the starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
3. If the engine still fails to start, repeat the first two
steps. If continued attempts do not free starter,
follow the electric starter procedures to start.
NOTE: Avoid freezing of the recoil starter by referring to
instructions in the section "Before Stopping".
Warm Start
If restarting an engine after a temporary shut- down,
rotate choke to OFF instead of FULL and do not prime.
Pull the starter handle as instructed before.
Before Stopping
1. Run engine for a few minutes to help dry off any
moisture on engine.
2. To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, follow
these steps:
Recoil Starter
a. With the engine running, pull the starter rope
with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three
or four times.
Electric Starter
a. Connect power cord to switch box, then to
120 Volt AC receptacle.
b. While the engine is running, push the starter
button and spin the starter for several
seconds.
c. Disconnect power cord from the receptacle
first, then from the snow thrower.
NOTE: The unusual sound from pulling the starter rope
or from spinning the starter will not harm the engine.
To Stop The Snow Thrower
1. While standing inthe operator's position (behind the
snow thrower), engage the auger control fora few
seconds to clear any remaining snow and icefrom the
chute assembly.
2. To stop the wheels, release the drive control.
3. To stop throwing snow, release the auger control.
4. To stop engine, push throttle control lever to OFF
and pull out the key. Do not turn key.
_lb ARNING: The temperature of muffler and
the surrounding areas may exceed 150 ° F.
Avoid these areas.
Auger Control Test
IMPORTANT:Perform the following test before
operating the snow thrower for the first time and at the
start of each winter season.
