The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and
is activated by rotating the control counter-clockwise.
Activating the choke control closes the choke plate on the
carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
Key
The key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted into the
ignition in order for the engine to start. Remove the key
when the snow thrower is not in use.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn the key in an attempt to start the
engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
