ENGINE & STARTING CONTROLS
NOTE: Engine Speed Control -
This snow thrower does
NOT have an engine speed control. Engine speed is set
at the factory.
The engine governor maintains operat-
ing speed for varying snow removal conditions.
Electric Start Units Only
A. Electric Start Button - The electric start Button (A,
Figure 6) activates an electric starter mounted to the
engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter han-
dle. The electric start button operates on 120 Volts
AC, which is provided by connection to the extension
cord provided with units equipped with this feature.
Connect this extension cord ONLY to a properly
grounded 3 prong electrical outlet.
All Models
B. Fuel Tank Cap - Cover fuel tank & provides venting
ability to prevent vapor lock.
C. Starter Handle - The starter handle (C, Figure 6)
connects to a starter cord to manually start the
engine. Pulling starter handle rapidly spins the engine
crankshaft, cycles the engine, and generates the
spark necessary for starting the engine.
D. Primer Button - When pressed, the primer button (D,
Figure 6) provides initial fuel to help start a cold
engine. Normally, pressing the primer button twice
will provide enough fuel to start a cold engine.
E. Engine Key - Insert key in switch and turn key to ON
position when starting engine. To stop engine, turn
key to OFF position.
F. Choke Control - The is control (F, Figure 6) adjusts
the fuel/air mixture, and is used to help start a cold
engine by providing a richer mixture.Once the engine
is warm and running smoothly, the choke control
should be set to the off position to provide a normal
air/fuel mix.
