Note: Remove your glove when you push in the
primer so that air cannot escape from the primer
hole.
Important: Do not use the primer or the choke
if the engine has been running and is hot.
Excessive priming may flood the engine and
prevent it from starting.
4. Connect an extension cord to a power source and
the snowthrower, and push the electric-start button
(model 38282 only) (Figure 20), or pull the recoil
start handle (Figure 21).
