Starting the Engine
Note:
Remove your glove when you push in the primer so that air cannot escape from the primer hole.
Important:
Do not use the primer or the choke if the engine has been running and is hot. Excessive
priming may flood the engine and prevent it from starting.
Standard Models

After striking a foreign object, shut off the engine,
remove the key, and inspect the machine for
damage. Repair any damage before starting the
machine.
•
If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, shut off
the engine and check immediately for the cause.
•
Do not run the engine indoors; exhaust fumes are
dangerous.
•
Do not overload the machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
•
Shut off the engine whenever you leave the
operating position, before clearing or unclogging
the collector, rotor, or discharge chute, and when
