Operation

Start the Engine

WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive. Always handle fuel with
extreme care.
Failure to observe these safety instructions can
cause a fire or explosion which will result in
severe burns or death.
When Starting Engine
• Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner (if
equipped) are in place and secured.
• Do not crank the engine with the spark plug removed.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, but move
the snowthrower away from the area of the spill, and avoid
creating any source of ignition, until the fuel vapors have
dissipated.
• Do not over-prime the engine. Follow the engine starting
instructions in this manual.
• If the engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN/RUN
position, move throttle (if equipped) to FAST position and
crank until engine starts.
Damaged or ungrounded power cords could
cause electric shock.
Electric shock could cause severe burns or
death.
When Using the Electric Starter
• The power cord must be properly grounded at all times.
• Use only a three-conductor power cord properly grounded
to the power source.
• If the extension cord is damaged, it must be replaced a
qualified person to avoid a hazard.
NOTE: The electric starter is designed for a three-conductor
power cord only and operates on standard household current. If a
properly grounded electrical source is not available, DO NOT use
the electric starter. Contact a licensed electrician for installation of
a properly grounded system.

WARNING
WARNING
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting,
or death.
• Start and run engine outdoors.
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open.
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 the Engine
• Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
1. Check the oil level. See Add Oil / Check Oil Level.
2. Ensure the auger control is disengaged.
3. Insert the ON/OFF key (A, Figure 2) and turn to the ON
position or insert the Push/Pull key, if equipped.
4. Turn the choke control (B) to the closed position.
NOTE: Do not close the choke control to start a warm engine.
5. Press the primer button (C) two times.
NOTE: Do not press the primer button to start a warm engine.
6. Rewind start: Firmly hold the starter cord (D). Pull the starter
cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
7. Electric start: First connect the power cord (not supplied
(E, Figure 3) to the starter receptacle (F) and then into a wall
receptacle. If an additional power cord is required, ensure it is
a three-conductor cord.
8. Electric start: Press the starter button (G). After the engine
starts, disconnect the power cord from the wall receptacle first
and then from the starter receptacle.
NOTICE: To extend the life of the starter, use short starting
cycles (five seconds maximum). Wait one minute between
starting cycles.
9. As the engine warms up, move the choke control (B, Figure 2)
to the open position.
NOTE: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see
Troubleshooting.
