ACTUAL LOCATION MAY VARY WITH ENGINE ON YOUR UNIT. POWER CORD PLUG FIG. 22 TO START ENGINE 12 • Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position. OPERATION 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 that your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire ground ed system. If you are uncertain, consult a li censed electrician. WARNING: Do not use the electric start er if your house is not a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire grounded system. Seri ous person al injury or damage to your snow thrower could result. COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER 1. Insert safety ignition key into the 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 continu 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 operating 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 into the 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 attempt 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 position. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature. WARM START - RECOIL STARTER Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the OFF BEFORE STOPPING Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any moisture on the engine. To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, proceed as follows: ELECTRIC STARTER 1. Connect the power cord to the engine. 2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle. 3. While the engine is running, push starter button and spin the starter for several seconds. NOTE: The unusual sound made while starter is spinning will not harm the engine or starter. 4. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first, then from the engine. RECOIL STARTER 1. While the engine is running, pull the recoil starter handle with rapid, full arm strokes three or four times. NOTE: The unusual sound made while pulling the recoil starter handle will not harm the engine or starter. 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. SNOW THROWING TIPS • 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...
