3. Firmly push in the primer 2 times with your
thumb, holding the primer in for a second before

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.
If you leave the snowthrower plugged into a
power outlet, someone can inadvertently start the
snowthrower and injure people or damage
property.
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not
starting the snowthrower.
