Stop The Engine; Operating Tips - Simplicity P1628EX Bedienungsanleitung

8. R R ewind Start: Firmly hold the starter cord handle (A A , Figure 14). Pull
the starter cord handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
WARNING: Rapid retraction of the starter cord
(kickback) will pull your hand and arm toward the
engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises, or sprains could result. When
starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see the
Engine Manual Troubleshooting section.
9. E E lectric Start: First connect the extension cord to the power cord
receptacle and then into a wall receptacle. If additional extension cord
is required, make sure it is three-wire.
WARNING: If the extension cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer (or its service agent)
or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
10. E E lectric Start: Depress the starter push button (A A , Figure 15). After
you start the engine, first disconnect the extension cord from the wall
receptacle and then from the power cord receptacle (B B ).
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the starter, use short
starting cycles (five seconds maximum). Wait one minute
between starting cycles.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see the
Engine Manual Troubleshooting section.
11. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes. Then slowly move
the choke control knob to the RUN position.

STOP THE ENGINE

Before stopping the engine, allow it to run for a few minutes to help dry off
any moisture on the engine.
WARNING: Gasoline and vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death. DO NOT choke the
carburetor to stop the engine.
1. Push the throttle control lever (A A , Figure 16) to the STOP position.
2. Remove the safety key (B B ). Keep the safety key out of the reach of
children.
NOTE: Do not lose the safety key. Keep the safety key in a safe
place. The engine will not start without the safety/ignition key.
CLEAR A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
DANGER: Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside
the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowthrowers. Never clear or unclog
discharge chute with your hands, or while engine is
running. Fingers can quickly become caught and
traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
• SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!
• Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
A clean-out tool (A A , Figure 17) is attached to either the handle or the top
of the auger housing. Use the clean-out tool to remove snow from the
auger housing.

OPERATING TIPS

1. Most efficient snowthrowing is accomplished when snow is removed
immediately after it falls.
2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath previously
taken.
3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible.
4. For normal usage, set the skids 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the scraper
bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the skids may be
adjusted upward to ensure cleaning efficiency.
5. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at
1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see "Adjust Skid Height"
in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual). Rocks and gravel
must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.
6. After the snowthrowing job has been completed, allow the engine to
idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice accumulated on the
engine.
7. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
8. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the entire
snowthrower, and flush with water (if possible) to remove all salt or
other chemicals. Wipe snowthrower dry.
9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and impeller for
ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result in snowthrower
damage.
10. Check oil level before every start. Make sure the oil is at the FULL
mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.
