FROZEN RECOIL STARTER
Ifthe starter isfrozen and willnot turn engine:
• Pull as much rope out of the starter as
possible.
• Release the starter handle and let it snap
back against the starter.
If the starter still fails to turn engine, repeat
the two previous steps untilthe starter en-
gages. Then continue with the directions for
cold start.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of recoil
starter and engine controls, proceed as fol-
lows after each snow removal job.

rope hard with a continuous full arm
stroke three or four times. Pulling of
starter rop_ will produce a _oudclattering

snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in area of control levers. Also
move throttle control, choke control, and
starter handle several times.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
• For maximum snow thrower efficiency
operate engine at (Full) throttle. The en-
gine 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 accom-
plished when the snow is removed
immediately after it falls.
• For complete snow removal, slightly
overlap each path previously taken.
• The snow should be discharged down
wind whenever possible.
• After the snow throwing job has been
completed, allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes, which wilt melt the snow
and accumulated ice off the engine.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after
each use.
• Remove ice and snow accumulation and
all debds from the entire snowthrower,
and flush with water (if possible) to re-
move all salt or other chemicals. Wipe
snow thrower dry.
