Choke Control
The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and is
activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the choke
control closes the choke plate on the carburetor and aids in
starting the engine.
Ignition Key
The ignition key is a safety devise. It must be fully inserted in
order for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key when the
snow thrower is not in use.
Note: Do not turn the ignition key in an attempt to start the
engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
