3. Firmly push in
the primer 2 times
with your thumb,
holding the primer

before releasing it

Important: To prevent damaging the electric starter,
run it no more than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds
on, then 5 seconds off. If the engine does not start
after this series of attempts, allow the starter to cool
for at least 40 minutes before trying to start it again. If
the engine still does not start, take the snowthrower
to an Authorized Service Dealer for service.
5. Disconnect the cord from the electric starter and
the outlet (electric-start only).
6. When the engine starts, set the choke to the 3/4
position. As the engine warms up, set the choke to
the 1/2 position. When the engine is warm, set the
choke to the Off position.
Caution
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.
