Push four times if temperature is below 15° F (-10° C).

8. Push downward on the starter button until the engine starts. Practice not crank for more than than ten seconds at a time. This electric starter is thermally pro­ tected. If overheated information technology volition stop au­ tomatically and can be restarted only when it has cooled to a safe temperature (a await of about five to 10 minutes is required).

ix. When tile engine starts, release the starter button and move asphyxiate le­ ver to "ane/2 choke" position. When engine runs smoothly, move choke lever to "No Choke" Position.

10. Disconnect power cord from recep­ tacle, first, so from switch box.

Note; Permit the engine to warm upward for several minutes before blowing snow in temperatures below 0°F.

xi. Run engine at total throttle "FAST' when throwing snow.

WARM START

If restarting a warm engine subsequently a short shutdown, leave asphyxiate at "OFF" and do not push the primer button. If the en­ gine fails to start, follow the Common cold Start instructions.

TO Commencement ENGINE

(recoil starter)

Be certain that the engine has sufficient oil. The snow thrower engine is equipped with a recoil starter. Before starting the engine, be certain that you have read the following data.

Cold Starting time

1. Be sure auger bulldoze and traction drive levers are in the disengaged

(RELEASED) position.

ii. Move throttle control to"FAST' posi­ tion.

3. Remove the keys grade the plastic bag. Insert i key into ignition slot. Make sure it snaps into place.

Do not plow key. Proceed the second fundamental in a safe place.

4. Rotate choke knob clockwise to the choke ON position.

5. Button the primer button while cov­ ering the vent hole as follows: Re­ move finger from primer push between primes.

Do not prime if temperature above 50° F(10° C).

Push two fourth dimension if temperature is 50° F(10° C) to15°F(-x° C).

Push 4 times if temperature is below fifteen° F (-10° C).

6. Pull the starter handle rapidly. Do not allow the handle to snap back, simply allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a house hold on the starter handle.

vii. Every bit the engine warms up, movement asphyxiate lever to "i/2 choke" position. When engine runs smoothly, move choke lever to "No Choke" Posi­ tion.

NOTE: Permit the engine to warm up for several minutes before bravado snowfall in temperatures beneath 0°F.

8. Run engine at total throttle "FAST' when throwing snowfall.

WARM Start

If restarting a warm engine later a brusk shutdown, leave choke at "OFF and do not push the primer button. If the en­ gine fails to start, follow the Cold Start instructions.

FROZEN STARTER

If the starter is frozen and volition non turn engine:

1. Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.

OPERATION

two. Release the starter handle and let information technology snap back against the starter.

If the engine still fails to start, repeat the two previous steps until the engine starts. So continue with the direc­ tions for cold start.

To assistance foreclose possible freeze-up of recoil starter and engine controls, pro­ ceed as follows after each snow remov­ al job.

1. With the engine running, pull the starter rope hard with a continuous full arm stroke 3 or iv times. Pulling of starter rope will produce a loud clattering sound. This is not harmful to the engine or starter.

2. With the engine not running, wipe all snowfall and wet from the carbu­ retor cover in area of control levers. Also motion throttle command, asphyxiate conffol, and starter handle several times.

Alarm: Never run en­ A gine indoors or in enclosed,

poorly ventilated areas. En­ gine exhaust contains CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS AND DEADLY GAS. Go along hands, anxiety, hair and loose clothing abroad from any moving parts on engine and snowfall thrower.

The temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150°F. Avert these areas.

DO NOT permit children or young teenagers to operate or be most snow thrower while information technology is operating.

Alert: Exercise not effort A to remove any Item that may

become lodged in auger without taking the following precau­ tions:

• Release auger drive lever.

• Move throttle lever to cease posi­ tion.

• Remove (do not turn) ignition primal.

• Disconnect spark plug wire.

• Do non identify your hands in the auger or belch chute. Use a pry bar.

Snowfall THROWING TIPS

ane. For maximum snow thrower efficien­ cy in removing snow, adjust ground speed, NEVER the throttle. Go slower in deep, freezing or wet snowfall. If the wheels slips, reduce forward speed. The engine is de­ signed to deliver maximum perfor­ mance at total throttle and should be run at this power setting at all times.

2. Nigh efficient snow throwing is air conditioning­ complished when the snow is re­ moved immediately afterward if falls.

3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each path previously taken.

4. The snowfall should be discharged down wind whenever possible.

v. For normal usage, set up the skids and so that the scraper bar is 1/8" above the skids. For extremely hardpacked snowfall surfaces, adjust the skids upwards and so that the scraper bar touches the footing.

half dozen. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, ready the skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar. See To Adjust Skid Summit paragraph in the Service & Adjustments section of this manu­ al. Rocks and gravel must non be picked up and thrown past the ma­ chine.

7. After the snow throwing job has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, which will melt snow and accumulated ice off the engine.

8. Make clean the snowfall thrower thoroughly after each apply.

9. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water (if pos­ sible) to remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
