Make sure the fuel tank is filled with fresh, clean fuel. 4. Before starting the engine, make sure all controls operate correctly. HOW TO STOP THE ENGINE To stop the engine, turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Keep the ignition key in a safe place. The engine will not start without the ignition key. HOW TO START A COLD ENGINE 1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel. See "Add Fuel To The Engine” in the Assembly section. 2. Move the choke control to FULL position. 3. (Figure 3) Make sure the auger drive lever (4) is in the disengaged (released) position. 4. Insert the ignition key (6) and turn to the ON position. 5.

(Electric Start) Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole, grounded 120 volt AC receptacle. (See the WARNING in this section.) HOW TO START THE ENGINE NOTE: An electric starter kit can be added to recoil start engines. Electric starter kits are available from your nearest authorized service center. A WARNING: The starter is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is designed to operate on 120 AC household current. Carefully follow all instructions in the “How To Start The Engine” section. To connect a 120 volt AC power cord, always connect the power cord to the switch box first. Then, plug the other end into the three-hole grounded receptacle. When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug the end from the three-hole grounded receptacle first. 8.

Do not crank for more than 10 seconds at a time.The electric starter is thermally protected. If the electric starter overheats, it will automatically stop and can be restarted when it has cooled to a safe temperature. A wait of about 5 to 10 minutes is required to allow the electric starter to cool. 10. (Recoil Start) Rapidly pull the recoil starter handle (10). Do not allow the recoil starter handle (10) to snap back. Slowly return the recoil starter handle (10). 11.

A WARNING: Never run the engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair, and loose clothing away from any moving parts located on the engine or the snow thrower. The temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150° F. Avoid these areas.
