Power Craft 89034 Instruction Manual page 57

Electric start
Place the ignition key (25) in the ignition
lock (26) and turn to the Start position.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
The circuit relay will turn off if the starter
engine risks overheating. If this occurs, press
the button (27) and wait a few minutes
before trying to start the engine electrically
again, or start the engine manually.
After start
Allow the engine to warm up and then push
the choke back, a few times if necessary.
Check that the engine is running smoothly.
The engine speed can be adjusted using the
throttle lever.
Do not strain the engine the first few times
it is used.
Stopping the engine
Allow the engine to run at operating speed
for a few minutes after use before turning
off the engine.
Close the throttle or turn the ignition key
to OFF.
Snow clearing
Start the engine and allow it to warm up as
described above.
Set the gear stick in the notch for the
required speed without activating the
clutch. Select R1/R2 for slow or fast
reversing or gears 1-5 for forward drive at
various speeds.
Press and hold the blade clutch down. The
blade and impeller will run.
Press the drive clutch handle. The machine
will begin to move and the blade clutch will
lock.
To change speed while machine is running,
release both clutch handles. The snow
blower must be standing completely still
before you move the gear stick.
When snow clearing is finished, allow the
engine to run for a few minutes more to dry
its surfaces.
Blockages
Stop the engine immediately in the
following instances:
- If a stone, piece of rope or other object
gets caught in the blade cylinder or
impeller.
- If the machine begins to vibrate very
heavily.
- If the machine cannot clear any snow,
e.g. due to slush.
Remove the spark plug cover and
investigate the cause. Use a wooden stick to
remove packed snow.
If the machine is damaged, discontinue use
until it is repaired.
Testing the clutch cables
For the blade clutch handle
Release the blade clutch handle. The cable
should be taut but not tight. Press the
clutch handle.
It should be able to be fully depressed.
If not, the cable is too tight and must be
slackened.
