grounded, but a three-hole receptacle is not available,
one should be installed by a licensed electrician before
using the electric starter.
• If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,
proceed as follows.
• Rotate choke knob to OFF position.
• Connect power cord to switch box on engine. Plug
the other end of power cord into a three-prong 120-
volt, grounded, AC receptacle.
• Push starter button to crank engine. As you crank
the engine, rotate the choke knob to FULL choke
position.
• When engine starts, release starter button, and
gradually rotate the choke to OFF. If the engine
falters, rotate the choke immediately to FULL and
then gradually to OFF.
• When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug
it from the three-prong receptacle before
unplugging it from the snow thrower.
Recoil Starter
• If the engine is cold, rotate the choke knob to the
FULL choke position.
• If the engine is warm, place choke in OFF position
instead of FULL.
• Depress the primer three times for a cold engine
start.
• If the engine is warm, depress the primer only once.
NOTE: Always cover the vent hole in the primer button
when pushing. Additional priming may be necessary for
first start if temperature is below 15° Fahrenheit.
• Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly, until
it pulls slightly harder, then let rope rewind recoil.
• Pull thestarter handle swiftly. Do not allow handle to
snap back. Allow it to recoil slowly while keeping a
firm hold on the starter handle.
• As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly,
rotate the choke knob slowly to OFF position. If
engine falters, return it to FULL choke, then slowly
rotate it to the OFF position.
To Stop Engine
• Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.
• Move the throttle control to the STOP or OFF
position.
• To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter,
proceed as follows.
Electric Starter
• Connect power cord to switch box on engine, then
to 120 volt AC receptacle. With the engine running,
push starter button and spin the starter for several
seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the
starter will not harm engine or starter. Disconnect
the power cord from receptacle first, and then from
snow thrower’s switch box.
