section for re-setting.
To prevent recoil freezing, when snow thrower is to be stored outside or in sub-freezing shelter, pull recoil rope out 6" to 12"
and tie knot in rope or fasten handle to keep rope from re-winding. This procedure will set inner parts in position for starting.

tune-up and check by a qualified service center is recommended to avoid breakdowns and unnecessary delays during the snow
throwing season.
