operation, never leave the machine unattended
with the engine running. Turn the engine off after
use and remove key.
1. Insert key fully into slot, Figure 5-1. Make sure it snaps into
place. DO NOT turn key. The engine cannot start unless the
key is inserted into ignition switch.
2. Move throttle control to FAST (rabbit) position.
3. Move choke to the CHOKE position (cold engine start). If
engine is warm, place choke in RUN position.
4. Push primer three (3) times, making sure to cover vent hole

Always cover vent hole when pushing. Cool weather may
require priming to be repeated.

compression. Do not release the handle and allow it to
snap back. Return rope SLOWLY to original position. If
required, repeat this step.
6. As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to
RUN position. If the engine falters, restart engine and run
with choke at half-choke position for a short period of time,
and then slowly rotate the choke into RUN position.

To Engage Drive
1. With the throttle control in the Fast (rabbit) position, move
shift lever into one of the six forward (F) positions or two
reverse (R) positions. Select a speed appropriate for the
snow conditions and a pace you're comfortable with.
2. Squeeze the drive control against the handle the snow
thrower will move. Release it and drive motion will stop.
To Engage Augers
To engage the augers and start throwing snow, squeeze the
auger control against the left handle. Release to stop the augers.
Replacing Shear Pins
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear pins
and cotter pins. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice
jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. If
the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared.
See Fig. 5-3.
CAUTION:
NEVER replace the auger shear pins with
anything other than OEM Part No. 738-04124A
replacement shear pins. Any damage to the auger
gearbox or other components as a result of failing to
do so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower's
warranty.
WARNING!
Always turn off the snow thrower's
engine and remove the key prior to replacing shear
pins.
