Recoil Starter: 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 the
engine or starter.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move
control levers back and forth several times. Leave
throttle control lever in the STOP or OFF position.
Rotate the choke control in the FULL choke
position.
To disengage augers, release both the auger control
and the traction control, if engaged.
NOTE: The auger control can also be locked so that
you  can   turn  the   chute  directional   control  without
interrupting snow throwing. Refer to page 8 for details.
Tire Chains (If equipped)
Tire chains should be used whenever extra traction is
needed. Call the Customer Support Department, as
instructed on Page 2, for information on tire chains and
other optional accessories.
Remove ignition key and disconnect spark plug
wire. Do not turn key.
Operating Tips
IMPORTANT: Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a safe
place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
The engine will  not develop full power until   it reaches
operating temperature.
To Engage Wheel Drive
With the engine running near top speed, move shift
lever into one of the six forward positions or two
reverse positions. Select a speed appropriate for
the snow conditions that exist.
WARNING: The temperature of the muffler
and   the   surrounding   areas   may   exceed
150°
F. Avoid these areas.
For the most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous path.
Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed
snow. Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate)
when using on gravel or crushed rock.
NOTE:  Use  the  slower  speeds  until  you  are  familiar
with the operation of the snow thrower.
Squeeze the traction control against the right
handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it
and the drive motion will stop.
IMPORTANT: Never move shift lever without first
releasing the traction control. Doing so will  cause
premature wear to drive systems friction wheel rubber.
Prevent possible freeze-up of the starter by
following the steps described earlier.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
To Engage Augers
To engage the augers and start snow throwing,
squeeze the auger control against the left handle.
