vent hole when pushing.
8. Connect power cord to switch box on dash panel.
Plug the other end of power cord into a three-prong
120-volt, grounded, AC receptacle.
9. Push starter button to crank engine.
10. When engine starts, release starter button, and move
choke gradually to 1/2 Choke until the engine runs
smoothly. Next move Choke to OFF. If engine falters,
move choke immediately to FULL and then gradually
to 1/2 then to OFF.
11. Disconnect the power cord. Always unplug from the
outlet first, and then from the snow thrower.
Recoil Starter
1. Move choke lever to FULL choke position (cold engine
start).
2. If engine is warm, place choke in OFF position instead
of FULL.
3. Push Primer three (3) times, making sure to cover
vent hole when pushing.
4. If engine is warm, push primer button only once.
NOTE: Always cover vent hole in primer button when
pushing. Additional priming may be necessary for first
start if temperature is below 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly, until it
pulls slightly harder. Let rope rewind slowly.
6. Pull starter handle rapidly. Do not allow handle to snap
back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a firm
hold on the starter handle.
7. As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly,
rotate choke lever slowly to the 1/2 Choke position.
When the engine begins to run smoothly, move the
choke to the OFF position. If engine falters, return
to FULL choke, then slowly move to 1/2 then OFF
position.
To Stop Engine
1. To stop engine, turn ignition key counter-clockwise.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting while equipment is
unattended.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter,
proceed as follows:
1. Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help
dry off any moisture on the engine.
2. 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.
NOTE:
Excessive upward
pressure on the
handle will result in
premature wear
on the rubber
auger blades which
would not be covered
by warranty.

Disconnect the power cord from receptacle first, and
then from switch box.
3. Recoil Starter: With engine running, pull starter rope
with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three or four
times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud
clattering sound, which is not harmful to the engine
or starter.
4. Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move
control levers back and forth several times. Leave
choke control in the FULL choke position.
5. Remove ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire
to prevent accidental starting.
Operating the Snow Thrower
The pitch of the chute assembly controls the angle at
which the snow is thrown.
1. Loosen the wing knob found on the left side of the
chute assembly and pivot the upper chute upward or
downward to the desired pitch. Retighten the wing
knob before operating the snow thrower.
2. Position the chute assembly opening by using the
Chute Handle to throw the snow in the desired
direction. See inset Figure 5A on page 8.
Clearing Snow
WARNING: Never operate the snow
thrower with bystanders in front of or
near the discharge chute opening.
1. Engage the auger
by squeezing the
auger control handle
against the upper
handle. See Figure 6.
2. Lift up slightly on the
handle to allow the
rubber paddles on
the auger to contact
the pavement and propel the snow thrower forward.
Pushing downward on the handle will raise the
augers off the ground and stop forward motion.
3. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previously cleared path.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will
result in premature wear on the rubber auger blades
which would not be covered by warranty.
Operating Tips
1. Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry any moisture on the engine.
2. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
WARNING: Muffler, engine and
surrounding areas become hot and
can cause a burn. Be careful and do
not touch when hot.
