Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal loop on the end of the spark plug
wire (inside the rubber boot) is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.
2.
Make certain both the auger control and drive control are in the disengaged (released) position.
3.
Move throttle control up to FAST position. Insert ignition key into slot. Make sure it snaps into
place. Do not attempt to turn the key.
NOTE : The engine cannot start without the key is fully inserted into the ignition switch.
Electric Starter
Determine that your home's wiring is a two-wire grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you are not
certain.
WARNING: The optional electric starter is equipped with a grounded two-wire power plug ,and is
designed to operate on 230 volt AC household current. It must be used with a properly grounded two-
prong receptacle at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
If your home's wiring system is not a grounded system, do not use this electric starter under any
conditions.
If your home electrical system is grounded, but a two-hole extension cord is not available, do not use your
snow thrower's electric starter.
Follow all instructions carefully prior to operating the electric starter.
If you have all of the above, proceed as follows:
1)
Plug the extension cord into the outlet located on the engine's surface. Plug the other end of
extension cord into a 230-volt, grounded, AC outlet in a well-ventilated area.
2)
Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (for a cord engine start).
NOTE: If the engine is already warm , place choke control in the OFF position instead of FULL.
3)
Push the primer to restart a warm engine start, marking sure to cover vent hole in the center of
the primer when pushing .
NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.
4)
Push start button to start engine.
5)
Once the engine starts, release starter button.
6)
AS the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the OFF position. if the engine falters,
quickly rotate the choke control back to FULL and then slowly into the OFF position again.
7)
When disconnecting the extension cord, always unplug the end at the wall outlet unplugging
the opposite end form the snow thrower.
Recoil Starter
1.
Rotate choke control to FULL choke position (cold engine start).
NOTE: If the engine is already warm, place choke control in the OFF position instead of FULL.
2.
Push the primer two or three times for cold engine start, making sure to cover vent hole in the
center of the primer when pushing.
NOTE: DO NOT use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.
NOTE: Additional priming maybe necessary if the temperature is below -10° C.
3.
Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull the rope out. At the point where it becomes
slightly harder to pull the rope, slowly allow the rope to recoil.
4.
Pull the starter handle with a firm, rapid stroke. Do not release the handle and allow it to snap
back. Keep a form hold on the starter handle and allow it to slowly recoil.
5.
As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control to the OFF position. If the engine falters,
quickly rotate the choke control back to the FULL position and then slowly into the OFF position again.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes after starting. The engine will not develop full
power until reaching operating temperatures.
Stopping The Engine
Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.
To help prevent possible starter freeze-up, proceed as follows:
Electric Starter
1.
Connect extension cord to the electric starter outlet on the engine, then to 230 volt AC outlet.
2.
With the engine running, push the starter button and allow the starter for spin for several
