Starting The Engine
Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain
the metal loop on the end of the spark plug wire
(inside the rubber boot) is fastened securely over the
metal tip on the spark plug.
Make certain both the auger control and drive control
are in the disengaged (released) position.
Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert
ignition key into slot. Make sure it snaps into place.
Do not attempt to turn the key.
NOTE: The engine cannot start unless the key is
inserted into ignition switch.
Electric Starter
Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not
certain.
WARNING! The optional electric starter is
equipped with a grounded three-wire power
cord and plug, and is designed to operate on
120 volt AC household current. It 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.
If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle, proceed as
follows:
Plug the extension cord into the outlet located on the
engine’s surface. Plug the other end of extension cord
into a three-prong 120-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a
well-ventilated area.
Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (for a
cold engine start).
NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke
control in the OFF position instead of FULL.
Push the primer two or three times for cold engine
start, making sure to cover vent hole in the center of
the primer when pushing.
NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine
after a short shutdown.
Push starter button to start engine. Once the engine
starts, release starter button.
NOTE: Do NOT hold the button down for longer than
seven (7) seconds at a time. Doing so may damage
your engine’s electric starter.

As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control
to the OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly
rotate the choke control back toward FULL choke, and
then slowly into the OFF position again.
When disconnecting the extension cord, always
unplug the end at the three-prong wall outlet before
unplugging the opposite end from the snow thrower.
Recoil Starter
Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (cold
engine start).
NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke
control in the OFF position instead of FULL.
Push the primer two or three times for cold engine
start, making sure to cover vent hole in the center of
the primer when pushing.
NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine
after a short shutdown.
NOTE: Additional priming may be necessary if the
temperature is below 15° Fahrenheit.
Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the
rope out. At the point where it becomes slightly
harder to pull the rope, stop pulling and allow the
rope to slowly recoil.
Pull the starter handle with a firm, rapid stroke. Do
not release the handle and allow it to snap back.
Keep a firm hold on the starter handle and allow it to
slowly recoil.
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control
to the OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly
rotate the choke control back toward the FULL choke
position, and then slowly into the OFF position again.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
after starting. The engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperatures.
Stopping The Engine
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry
off any moisture on the engine.
Move throttle control to STOP position.
Remove the ignition key and store in a safe place.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the area around
the engine as well as the area in and around the drive
control and auger control. Also, engage and release
both controls several times.
