Starting the Engine
1. Turn the key to the On position.
2. Move the choke lever to the right.
3. Cover the hole in the center of the primer with
your thumb and push the primer in twice, pausing
a moment between pushes. In extremely cold
temperatures, repeat this step if necessary.
Note: Take off your glove when you push in the
primer so that air cannot escape from the primer
hole.
Note: Do not use the choke or the primer when
starting a warm engine.
4. Start the engine by doing the following:
For a recoil starter: Hold the snowthrower handle
with one hand and pull the recoil starter vigorously
with the other hand.
For an electric starter:
A. Connect the power cord to the snowthrower
and to a standard household power outlet.
B. Push the starter button.
Note: Run the electric starter no more than
ten times at intervals of five seconds on, then
five seconds off.
Running the electric starter extensively
can overheat and damage the starter.
Note: If the engine does not start after this
series of attempts, wait at least 40 minutes to
allow the starter to cool before attempting to
start it again.
5. With the engine running, move the choke lever to
the left slowly.
Stopping the Engine
Turn the key to the Off position and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
