Stopping The Engine; Starting The Rotor Blades; Stopping The Rotor Blades; Adjusting The Discharge Chute - Toro CCR Powerlite 38173 Operator's Manual

Run the electric starter no more than 10 times at
intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off. If the
engine does not start after this attempt, wait at least
40 minutes to allow the starter to cool before
attempting to start it again.
IMPORTANT: Running the electric starter extensively
can overheat and damage the starter.
If the engine does not start after the second
attempt, bring the snowthrower to an Authorized
Service Dealer for service.
C. When the engine starts, disconnect the power cord
from the snowthrower and the outlet.
5. When the engine is warmed up, move the choke lever
to the Off position.

Stopping the Engine

Turn the key to the Off position, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.

Starting the Rotor Blades

To start the rotor blades, squeeze the control bar and
handle together.

Stopping the Rotor Blades

Note: When you release the control bar, the rotor blades
stop, but the engine continues to run.

Adjusting the Discharge Chute

Throwing Snow

WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stones, toys and other foreign objects may be
picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that could be picked up and thrown by rotor
blades.
Keep all children and pets away from area of
operation.
The snowthrower clears down to the ground and
propels itself forward when you raise the handle. The
snowthrower tilts slightly forward so that rotor blades
strike the ground. The wheels do not need to touch the
ground to self-propel. The more you tilt the handle
forward, the faster the snowthrower self-propels.
Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow
downwind whenever possible.
To clear snow from crushed rock or gravel, push down
on the handle to raise the rotor blades clear of the
loose material and push the snowthrower forward.
