3. Firmly push in the primer 2 times with your thumb,
holding the primer in for a second before releasing
it each time (Figure 22).
Figure 22
Note: Take your glove off when you push in the
primer so that air cannot escape from the primer
hole.
Note: Priming excessively may flood the engine and
prevent it from starting.
4. Start the snowthrower using the recoil starter
Figure 23 or the electric starter (Figure 24).
Figure 23
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.
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.
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.
