Use extreme care 
when handling 
gasoline. Gasoline is 
extremely flammable 
and the vapors are 
explosive. Never fuel 
the machine indoors 
or while the engine 
is hot or running. 
Extinguish cigarettes, 
cigars, pipes and 
other sources of 
ignition.

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in 
the separate engine manual packed separately with your 
snow thrower. Read instructions carefully.
Starting The Engine
1.  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. 

2.  Make certain both the auger control and drive control 

are in the disengaged (released) position.

3.  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 (on certain models)
1.  Determine that your home’s wiring is a three-wire 

grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you 
are not certain.

If your home’s wiring system is not a three-wire 
grounded system, do not use this electric starter under 
any conditions.
If your home electrical system is grounded, but a 
three-hole receptacle is not available, one should 
be installed by a licensed electrician before using the 
electric starter.
If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle, 
proceed as follows:
1.  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. 

2.  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.
3.  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.
4.  Push starter button to start engine.

5.  Once the engine starts, immediately release starter 

button.

6.  As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control 

to the OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly rotate 
the choke control back to FULL and then slowly into 
the OFF position again.

7.  When disconnecting the extension cord, always unplug 

the end at the three-prong wall outlet before unplug-
ging the opposite end from the snow thrower.

1.  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.
2.  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° F. (-9° C).
3.  Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the rope 

out. At the point where it becomes slightly harder to 
pull the rope, slowly allow the rope to recoil.

4.  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.

5.  As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control 

to the OFF position. If the engine falters, quickly rotate 
the choke control back to the FULL 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.

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 (Do not turn key) to prevent 

unauthorized use of equipment.

NOTE: Keep the key in a safe place. The engine cannot 
start without the ignition key.
•  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.
