ENGINE & STARTING CONTROLS
NOTE: Throttle - This snow thrower does NOT have a
throttle for controlling operating speed of engine. The
engine governor maintains operating speed for vary-
ing snow removal conditions.
Electric Start Units Only
A. Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A,
Figure 6) activates an electric starter mounted to the
engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter han-
dle. The Electric Start Button operates on 120 Volts
AC, which is provided by connection to the extension
cord provided with units equipped with this feature.
Connect this extension cord ONLY to a properly
grounded 3 prong electrical outlet.

ability to prevent vapor lock.

will provide enough fuel to start a cold engine.

position when starting engine. To stop engine, turn
key to OFF position.

the fuel/air mixture, and is used to help start a cold
engine by providing a richer mixture.Once the engine
is warm and running smoothly, the Choke Control
