TO START ENGINE 
•  Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the “OPEN” position.
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt 

A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter.  The electric starter 

is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is 

designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
•  Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire 

ground ed system.  If you are uncertain, consult a 

li censed electrician.

COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER
1.  Insert safety ignition key (tied to recoil start cord) into 

ignition slot until it clicks.  DO NOT turn the key.  Keep 

the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.

2.  Place throttle control in “FAST” position.
3.  Rotate choke control to “FULL” position.
4.  Connect the power cord to the engine.
5.  Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole 

grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle.

NOTE: Do not use primer when start ing en gine with the 

electric starter.
6.  Push starter button until engine starts.
IMPORTANT:  Do not crank engine more than five con tin u-

 ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to 

10 seconds between each attempt.
7.  When the engine starts, release the starter button and 

slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position.

8.  Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first, 

then from the engine. 

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.  Engine will 

not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-

ing temperature.
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the 

“OFF” position.
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER
1.  Insert safety ignition key (tied to recoil start cord) into 

ignition slot until it clicks.  DO NOT turn the key.  Keep 

the extra safety ignition key in a safe place.

2.  Place throttle control in “FAST” position.
3.  Rotate choke control to “FULL” position.
4.  Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is 

below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between 

15° and 50°F.  If temperature is above 50°F, priming is 

not nec es sary.

NOTE:  Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the 

engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a 

few minutes be fore at tempt ing to start and DO NOT push 

the primer. 
5.  Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter 

rope to snap back.

6.  When the engine starts, release the recoil starter han dle 

and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” posi-

tion.

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.  Engine will 

not develop full power until it has reached normal operat-

ing temperature.
WARM START - RECOIL STARTER
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the “OFF” 

position.  DO NOT push the primer.
BEFORE STOPPING
Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any mois-

ture on the engine.
IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN
If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine, 

proceed as follows:
1.  Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much 

rope out of the starter as possible.

2.  Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back 

against the starter.

If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or 

use the electric starter.

•  Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at 

full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.

• 

Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the 

drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.

•  It is easier and more efficient to remove snow im me-

 di ate ly after it falls.

• 

The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At 

this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-

posed to the direct sun and warming tem per a tures.

•  Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all 

snow will be removed.

•  Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• Ad 

just the skid plates to proper height for current snow 

con di tions.  See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this 

section of this manual.

•  For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow 

removal by over lap ping previous path and moving 

slowly.

• 

Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This 

will help air flow and extend engine life. 

• 

After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for 

a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.

•  Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each 

use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
