• As the engine warms up and begins to op-
erate evenly, rotate the choke control
slowly to the (OFF) position.
If the engine
falters, return to (FULL) choke, then
slowly move to the (OFF) position.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a
few minutes
because
the engine will not de-
velop full power until it reaches
operating
temperature_
- Run the engine at full throttle ,tEp (FAST)
when throwing
snow.
WARM
START
If restarting
a warm engine after a short
shutdown,
leave choke at (OFF) and do not
push the primer button.
If the engine fails to
start, follow the Cold Start instructions
above_
FROZEN
RECOIL
STARTER
if the starter Is frozen
and will not turn
engine:
.
Pull as much rope out of the starter as
possible.
- Release the starter
handle and let it snap
back against the starter_
If the starter still fails to turn engine, repeat
the two previous steps until the starter en-
gages. Then continue
with the directions
for
cold start.
To help prevent possible
freeze-up of recoil
starter
and engine controls,
proceed
as fol-
lows after each snow removal job.
• With the engine running,
pull the starter
rope hard with a continuous
full arm
stroke three or four times. Pulling of
starter
rope will produce
a loud clattering
sound° This is not harmful to the engine or
starter.
• With the engine not running,
wipe all
snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in area of control levers. Also move
throttle control,
choke control, and starter
handle several times_
_
CAUTION:
Never run engine indoors
or in enclosed,
poorly ventilated
areas.
Engine exhaust
contains
carbon
monoxide,
an odorless
and deadly gas. Keep hands,
feet, hair and loose clothing
away from any
moving parts on engine and snow thrower.
WARNING:
Temperature
of muffler and
nearby areas may exceed 150 ° F. Avoid
these areas.
DO NOT allow children
or young teenagers
to operate
or be near snow thrower while it
is operating.

CAUTION:
Do no attempt to remove
any item that may become
lodged in
auger without
taking the following
precau-
tions:
° Release
auger drive and traction
drive
levers.
• Move throttle
lever to stop position.
• Remove
(DO NOT TURN) ignition key.
• Disconnect
spark plug wire.
• Do not place your hands in the auger or
discharge chute. Use a pry bar.
SNOW THROWING
TIPS
° For maximum
snow thrower efficiency in
removing
snow, adjust ground speed,
NEVER the throttle. Go slower in deep,
freezing,
or wet snow. if the wheels slip,
reduce forward speed. The engine is de-
signed to deliver
maximum
performance
at ful! throttle
and should be run at this
power setting at all times. Most efficient
snow blowing
is accomplished
when the
snow is removed immediately
after it falls.
° For complete
snow removal, slightly over-
lap each path previously
taken_ Use more
overlap
in deep snow to prevent overroad-
ingo
• The snow should be discharged
down
wind whenever
possible,
in windy condi_
tions, lower the chute deflector to direct
discharged
snow close to the ground,
where it is less likely to b_ow into un-
wanted areas.
• For normal
usage, set the skids so that
the scraper bar is 1/8" above the skids.
For extremely
hard-packed
snow sur-
faces, adjust the skids upward
so that the
scraper bar touches
the ground.
• On gravel or crushed
rock surfaces,
set
the skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar
(See To Adjust Skids Height paragraph
on
page 18). Stones and gravel must not be
picked up and thrown by the machine.
° After the snow throwing
job has been
completed,
allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes,
which will melt snow and ac-
cumulated
ice off the engine.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after
each use.
Remove ice and snow accumulation
and
all debris from the entire snow thrower,
and flush with water (if possible) to re-
move all salt or other chemicals.
Wipe
snow thrower dry.
