tank to the carburetor. Make sure 
that the fuel valve is positioned 
exactly at either the ON or OFF 
position. When the snowthrower is 
not in use, always leave the fuel 
valve in the OFF position to reduce 
the possibility of fuel leakage.

an OFF-ON switch. OFF — Stops

position, and for starting with the
