3. Rotate choke control to FULL position.
4. Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is
below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between
15° and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is
not necessary.
NOTE: Over priming may cause ooding, preventing the
engine from starting. If you do ood the engine, wait a few
minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT push the
primer.
5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
6. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter
handle and slowly move the choke control to the OFF
position.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will

temperature.
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF
position. DO NOT push the primer.
BEFORE STOPPING
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-
ture on the engine.
To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, proceed as fol-
lows:
ELECTRIC STARTER
1. Connect the power cord to the engine.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole
grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.
3. While the engine is running, push starter button and
spin the starter for several seconds.
NOTE: The unusual sound made while starter is spinning
will not harm the engine or starter.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle rst,
then from the engine.
CONSUMER OPERATION
RECOIL STARTER
1. While the engine is running, pull the recoil starter handle
with rapid, full arm strokes three or four times.
NOTE: The unusual sound made while pulling the recoil
starter handle will not harm the engine or starter.
IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine,
proceed as follows:
1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much
rope out of the starter as possible.
2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or
use the electric starter.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
• Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best snow thrower
performance.
• Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust ground
speed.
• It is easier and more efcient to remove snow imme-
diately after it falls.
• The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
• Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this
section of this manual.
• For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow
removal by overlapping previous path and moving
slowly.
• Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This
will help air ow and extend engine life.
• After snow-throwing job is completed, allow engine
to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the
engine.
• Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
WARNING: Do not operate snow
thrower if weather conditions impair vis-
ibility. Throwing snow during a heavy,
windy snowstorm can blind you and be
hazardous to the safe operation of the
snow thrower.
