THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
e RELEASE'_AUGER DRIVE AND TRACTION
DRIVE LEVERS,
® MOVE THROTTLE LEVER TO STOP POSI-

• REMOVE (DO NOT TURN) IGNITION KEY.
• DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE.
® DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS IN THE
AUGER OR DISCHARGE CHUTE. USE A
PRY BAR.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
because the engine will not develop full power until it
reaches operating temperature.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
o
Run the engine at or near the top speed when
throwing snow
WARM START
If restarting awarm engine after a short shutdown, rotate
choke to OFF instead of FULL and do not push the primer
button,
FROZEN RECOIL STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:
• Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible
e Release the starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter
If the engine still fails to start, repeat If continued
attempts do not free starter, follow the electric
starter procedures to start.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of recoil starter and
engine controls, proceed as follows after each snow
removal job..
e With the engine running, pull the starter rope hard
with a continuous full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling of starter rope will produce a loud clattering
sound Th{s is not harmful to the engine or starter_
e With the engine not running, wipe ali snow and
moisture from the carburetor cover in area of control
levers. Also move throttle control, choke control,
and starter handle several times
® For maximum snow thrower efficiency in removing
snow, adjust ground speed, never the throttle Go
slower in deep, freezing, or wet snow. If the track
slips, reduce forward speed. The engine is de signed
to deliver maximum performance at full throttle and
should be run at this power setting at all times.
o Most efficient snow blowing is accomplished when
the snow is removed immediately after it falls
e For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each
path previously taken
o The snow should be discharged down wind when-
ever possible.
e For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper
bar is 1/8" above the skids For extremely hard-
packed snow surfaces, adjust the skids upward so
that the scraper bar touches the ground
o On gravel or crushed rock sutraces, set the skids at
t-!/4" below the scraper bar (see To Adjust Skid
Height paragraph on page 18) Stones and gravel
must not be picked up and thrown by the machine
e If the front of the snow thrower has a tendency to
raise, reduce the ground speed and engage the
weight transfer system
o After the snow blowing job has been completed,
allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, which will
melt snow and accumulated ice off the engine.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use
• Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris
from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water
(if possible) to remove all salt or other chemicals
Wipe snow thrower dry
