Disengaging The Rotor Blades - Toro 38272 Operator's Manual

The electrical cord can become damaged,
causing a shock or fire.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before
plugging it into a power source. If the
cord is damaged, do not use it to start the
snowthrower. Replace or repair the damaged
cord immediately. Contact an Authorized
Service Dealer for assistance.
Figure 21
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 38282 only).
Note: If the recoil starter does not operate properly,
it may be frozen. Thaw out the starter before
attempting to start the snowthrower.
5. While the engine is running, move the choke lever
gradually to the left.
6. Unplug the extension cord from the power source
and the snowthrower (model 38282 only).
If you leave the snowthrower plugged into a
power source, someone can inadvertently start
the snowthrower and injure people or damage
property (model 38282 only).
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not
starting the snowthrower.
