TO STOP ENGINE
1. Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry off any moisture on the engine.
2. To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter, pro-
ceed as follows. With engine running, pull starter
rope with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three
or four times. Pulling the starter rope will produce
a loud clattering sound, which is not harmful to the
engine or starter.

turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the
spark plug to prevent accidental
starting
while
equipment
is unattended.

cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move
control levers back and forth several times. Move

THE SNOW THROWER
1. Start the engin e as instructed
previously.
2. Adjust the discharge chute up or down as desired.
Then use the chute crank to position the discharge
to discharge snow with the wind. Do not throw
snow toward a building as hidden objects could be
discharged
with enough force to cause damage.
3. With the traction drive clutch lever released, use
the speed select lever to set desired speed. Use
a slower ground speed for wet, heavy or deep
snow. Reduce speed if the wheels slip. Operate
the engine at full throttle for maximum efficiency.
