4. Shake the container to mix the gasoline and oil
thoroughly.
5. Slowly remove the cap and add the remaining amount
of gasoline.
Note: Do not mix gasoline and oil in the fuel tank. Oil
at room temperature mixes easier and more thoroughly
than cold oil. Oil below 32°F (0°C) requires additional
mixing.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fill the fuel tank with a fresh mixture of gasoline and oil
mixed at the proper ratio (Figure 8).

Starting the Engine

1. Turn the ignition key clockwise to the On position.
2. Move the choke lever to the right.
3. Firmly push in the primer 2 times with your thumb,
holding the primer in for a second before releasing it
each time.
4. Start the engine by using either the electric start button
or the recoil starter.
Using the recoil starter: Hold the snowthrower
handle with one hand and pull the recoil starter
vigorously with the other hand.
Using the electric starter:
A. Connect the power cord to the snowthrower and to
a standard household power outlet and push the
starter button.
Important: Run the electric starter no more
than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then
5 seconds off. Running the electric starter
extensively can overheat and damage it. If
the engine does not start after this series of
attempts, wait at least 40 minutes to allow the
starter to cool before attempting to start it
again. If the engine does not start after the
second series of attempts, take the snowthrower
to an Authorized Service Dealer for service.
B. When the engine starts, disconnect the power cord
from the snowthrower and the outlet.
5. With the engine running, move the choke lever to the
left slowly.

Stopping the Engine

To stop the engine, turn the ignition key counterclockwise
to the Off position.

Preventing Freeze-up after Use

parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and remove ice and snow from
the snowthrower.
•
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times and push the electric start button once
(if applicable) to prevent the recoil and electric starters
from freezing up.
