Electric Starter
WARNING! The electric starter must be used with
a properly grounded three-prong receptacle at all
times to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Follow all instructions carefully prior to operating
the electric starter.
The electric starter is equipped with a grounded three-wire
power cord and plug, and is designed to operate on 120
volt AC household current.
Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire grounded
system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not certain.
If your home wiring system is not a three-wire grounded
system, do not use this electric starter under any
conditions.
If your home electrical system is 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.
Move Choke Control to the “Full” position.
Push Primer three (3) times, making sure to cover vent hole
when pushing.
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.
Push starter button to crank engine.
When engine starts, release starter button, and move
choke gradually to ⁄ Choke until the engine runs smoothly.
Next move Choke to OFF. If engine falters, move choke
immediately to FULL and then gradually to ⁄ then to OFF.
Disconnect the power cord. Always unplug from the outlet
first, and then from the snow thrower.

on the starter handle.
As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly, rotate
choke lever slowly to the ⁄ 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 ⁄ then OFF position.
Stopping the Engine
Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to help
dry any moisture on the engine.
To stop the engine turn the ignition key counter-clockwise
to the OFF/STOP position.
Remove the ignition key and store in a safe place.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the area around the
engine.
WARNING! Muffler, engine and surrounding areas
become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.
To Engage Augers
To engage the augers and start throwing snow, squeeze
the auger control against the upper handle. Release to stop
the augers.
NOTE: Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previously cleared path.
To Engage Drive
Lifting up on the handle will allow the rubber on the
augers to propel the snow thrower forward. Pushing
downward on the handle will raise the augers off the
ground and stop forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result
in premature wear on the rubber auger.
