FROZEN STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:
• Pullas much rope out ofthe starteras possible.
• Release the starter handle and let itsnap back
againstthe starter.
If the engine stillfails to start, repeat the two previous
steps until the engine starts. Then continuewith the

To helpprevent possible freeze-up of recoil starter and
engine controls, proceed as follows after each snow
removal job.
• With the engine running, pull the starter rope hard
with acontinuous full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling of starter rope will producea loud clattering
sound. This is not harmful tothe engine or starter.
• With the engine not running, wipe all snow and
moisture from the carburetorcoverinareaofcontrol

SNOW THROWING TIPS
• For maximum snow thrower efficiency operate
engine at full throttle. The engine is designed to
deliver maximum performance at full throttle and
should be run at this power setting at all times.
• Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished when
the snow is removed immediatelyafter it fails.
• For complete snow removal, s_ightlyoverlap each
path previously taken.
• The snow should be discharged downwindwhenever
possible.
• After the snow throwing 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
fromthe entire snow thrower, and flushwith water (if
possible) to remove allsalt or other chemicats. Wipe
snow thrower dry.
