Starting the Engine

Push key (1) in.

Move choke lever (2) to left position.

Firmly push in the primer (3) 2 times with your thumb, holding

the primer in a for a second before releasing it each time.

NOTE: Remove your glove when you push in the primer so that

air cannot escape from the primer hole.

IMPORTANT: It may not be necessary to use the primer or the

choke if the engine has been running and is hot. Excessive

priming may ﬂ ood the engine and prevent it from starting.

Pull the recoil starter (5) or if your snow thrower is equipped

with an electric starter, connect an extension cord to the snow

thrower and plug the other end into a three-hole grounded

220 volt A.C. receptacle (4) and push the electric-start button.

NOTE: Use an extension cord recommended for outdoor use

that is not longer than 50 feet (15 m).

The electrical cord can become damaged, causing a

shock or ﬁ re.

Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before plugging it

into a power source. If the cord is damaged, do not use it

to start the snowthrower. Replace or repair the damaged

cord immediately. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer

for assistance.

IMPORTANT: Run the electric starter no more than 10 times

at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off. Running the

electric starter extensively can overheat and damage it. If the

engine does not start after this series of attempts, wait at least

40 minutes to allow the starter to cool before attempting to start

it again. If the engine does not start after the second series of

attempts, take the snowthrower to an Authorized Service Dealer

for service.

NOTE: If you pull the recoil handle and feel no resistance, the

starter may be frozen. Thaw out the starter before attempting to

start the snowthrower.

While the engine is running, move the choke lever (2) slowly

to the right position.

Unplug the extension cord from the power source and the

snowthrower.

Unplug the power cord whenever you are not starting

the snowthrower.

Stopping the Engine

To stop the engine, pull key (1) out.
