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 (model 38577 only).
5. While the engine is running, push in the choke lever
slowly.
6. Unplug the extension cord from the power source
and the snowthrower (model 38577 only).
If you leave the snowthrower plugged into a
power outlet, someone can inadvertently start
the snowthrower and injure people or damage
property (model 38577 only).
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not
starting the snowthrower.
