HOW TO STOP THE ENGINE
CAUTION: To stop the engine, do not
move the choke control to CHOKE
position. Backfire or engine damage
can occur.
1. To stop the engine, move the
throttle control lever to the "SLOW"
position, then move to the "STOP"
position (see Figure 18).
A ARNING: Rapid retraction
of the starter cord (kick-
back) will pull your hand or
arm toward the engine faster than
you can let go of the starter cord.
• When starting the engine, slow-
ly pull the starter cord until re-
sistance is felt. Then, rapidly
pull the starter cord.
• Make sure components; such as
impellors, pulleys or sprockets,
are securely attached.
Figure 18
Pull out and remove the ON/OFF
key (see Figure 19). Keep the
ON/OFF key in a safe place. The
engine will not start without the
ON/OFF key.

TO START ENGINE
Be sure that the engine oil is at FULL
mark on dipstick. The snow thrower en-
gine is equipped with a 120 volt A.C.
electric starter and a recoil starter. Be-
fore starting the engine, be certain that
you have read the following information.
If engine floods, set the choke to the
OPEN/RUN position and crank until the
engine starts.
F-041074L
A ARNING: The starter is
equipped with a three-wire
power cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 volt AC
household current. It must be prop-
erly grounded at all times to avoid
the possibility of electrical shock
which may be injurious to operator.
• Follow all instructions carefully
as set forth in the "To Start En-
gine" section.
• Determine that your house wiring
is a three-wire grounded system.
Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not sure. If your house wire
system is not a three-wire system,
do not use this electric starter un-
der any conditions.
• If your system is grounded and a
three-hole receptacle is not avail-
able at the point your starter will
normally be used, one should be
installed by a licensed electrician.
• When connecting 120 volt AC
"Power Cord", always connect the
cord to the Switch Box on the en-
gine first, then plug the other end
into the three-hole grounded re-
ceptacle. When disconnecting
"Power Cord", always unplug the
end in the three-hole grounded re-
ceptacle first.
