•

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.

•

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.

•

Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to 
help dry off any moisture on the engine.

•

To help prevent possible starter freeze-up, proceed 
as follows:

1.

Connect extension cord to the electric starter outlet 
on the engine, then to 120 volt AC outlet. 

2.

With the engine running, push the starter button 
and allow the starter for spin for several seconds. 
The noise made by the starter is normal. The 
engine’s starter is not being harmed. 

3.

When disconnecting the extension cord, always 
unplug the end at the three-prong wall outlet before 
unplugging the opposite end from the snow 
thrower.

4.

Move throttle control to STOP position.

5.

Remove the ignition key.

6.

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.

1.

With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid, 
continuous full arm stroke three or four times. 
Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud 
clattering sound, which is not harmful to engine.

2.

Move throttle control to STOP position.

3.

Remove the ignition key.

4.

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.

•

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. 

 Use the slower speeds until you are 

comfortable and familiar with the operation of the snow 
thrower.

•

Squeeze the drive control against the handle the 
snow thrower will move. Release it and drive 
motion will stop.

 NEVER reposition the shift lever (change 

speeds or direction of travel) without first releasing the 
drive control and bringing the snow thrower to a 
complete stop. Doing so will result in premature wear to 
the snow thrower’s drive system.

•

To engage the augers and start throwing snow, 
squeeze the auger control against the left handle. 
Release to stop the augers.

 Perform the following test before 

operating your snow thrower for the first time and at the 
start of each winter season.

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

•

When the auger control is released and in the 
disengaged “up” position, the cable should have 
very little slack. It should NOT be tight.

•

In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower 
engine as instructed earlier in this section under the 
heading Starting the Engine. Make sure the throttle is 
set in the FAST position.

•

While standing in the operator’s position (behind 
the snow thrower), engage the auger. 

•

Allow the auger to remain engaged for 
approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing 
the auger control. Repeat this several times. 

•

With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) 
position and the auger control in the disengaged 
“up” position, walk to the front of the machine. 

•

Confirm that the auger has completely stopped 
rotating and shows NO signs of motion. 

 If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, 

immediately return to the operator’s position and shut 
off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before 
re-adjusting the auger control.

•

To readjust the control cable, loosen the hex jam 
nut on the auger control cable “Z” fitting.

•

Rotate the coupling end of the cable 
counterclockwise to provide more slack.
