WARM START
If restarting a warm engine after a short
shutdown, leave choke at "OFF" and do
not push the primer button. If the en-
gine fails to start, follow the Cold Start
instructions.
FROZEN STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn
engine:
1. Pull as much rope out of the starter
as possible.
2. Release the starter handle and let it
snap back against the starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the
two previous steps until the engine
starts. Then continue with the direc-
tions for cold start.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of
recoil starter and engine controls, pro*
ceed as follows after each snow remov-
al job.
1. With the engine running, pull the
starter rope hard with a continuous
full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling of starter rope will produce a
loud clattering sound. This is not
harmful to the engine or starter.
2. With the engine not running, wipe all
snow and moisture from the carbu-
retor cover in area of control levers.
Also move throttle control, choke
control, and starter handle several
times.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
1. When the handle is raised, the au-
ger blades will engage the ground
and the snow thrower will move for-
ward. When the auger drive lever is
released, the auger blades will stop.
If the blades do not stop, see "How
To Adjust The Auger Drive Cable" in
the Service And Adjustment section.
2. Most efficient snow throwing is ac-
complished when the snow is re-
moved immediately after if falls.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly
overlap each previous path.
4. Whenever possible, discharge the
snow down wind.

The distance the snow will be dis-
charged can be adjusted by moving
the discharge chute deflector. Raise
the deflector for more distance or
lower the deflector for less distance.
In windy conditions, lower the chute
deflector to direct the discharged
snow close to the ground where it is
less likely to blow into unwanted
areas.

to the snow thrower, keep the area
to be cleared free of stones, toys
and other foreign objects.
