• Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes be-
cause the engine will not develop full power until it
reaches operating temperature.
• Operate the engine at full throttle (FAST) when
throwing snow.
WARM START
• If restarting a warm engine after a shut down, ro-
tate choke to OFF instead of FULL and do not
push the primer button.
TO START ENGINE
(RECOIL STARTER)
Make sure that the engine has sufficient oil and the
auger drive and the traction drive levers are disen-
gaged (released).
• Move throttle control to FAST position.
• Push key into the ignition slot and make sure that it
snaps into place. Do not turn key. Remove plastic
bag and keep the second key in a safe place.
• Rotate choke control to FULL choke position.
• Push the primer button while covering the vent hole.
Remove finger from primer button between primes.
Do not prime if temperature is above 50° E
Prime two times in temperatures between 50° F
and 15° F.
Prime four times in temperatures below 15° E
• Pull the starter handle rapidly. Do not allow the
handle to snap back, but allow it to rewind slowly
while keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.
• As the engine warms up and begins to operate
evenly, rotate the choke knob slowly to OFF posi-
tion. if the engine falters, return to FULL choke,
then slowly move to OFF choke position.
• Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes be-
cause the engine wil! not develop full power until it
reaches operating temperature.
• Operate the engine at full throttle (FAST) when
throwing snow.
WARM START
• If restarting a warm engine after a shut down, ro-
tate 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 the engine, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
• Release the starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
• 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.
Avoid possible freezing of recoil starter and the engine
controls.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
as the engine will not develop full power until it
reaches operating temperature.
Warning: Temperature of muffler and
surrounding areas may exceed 150° E Avoid
these areas.
• For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
• Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward
when using on gravel or crushed rock.
• Follow the precautions listed under "To Stop
Engine" and "Frozen Recoil Starter" to prevent
possible freeze-up.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
