KEY
The key is a safety device. It must be fully
inserted in order for the engine to start. Remove
the key when the snow thrower is not in use.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition key in an attempt
to start the engine. Doing so may cause it to
break.
CHOKE CONTROL
The choke control is found on the rear of the
engine and is activated by turning the rotary
choke knob to the CHOKE position. Activating
the choke control closes the choke plate on the
carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
