To Engage Augers
1. To engage the augers and start throwing snow,
squeeze the auger control against the handle.
Release to stop the augers.
Engaging the Drive
1. Lifting up on the handle will allow the rubber on the
augers to propel the snow thrower forward. Pushing
downward on the handle will raise the augers off the
ground and stop forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will
result in premature wear on the rubber auger blades
which would not be covered by warranty.
2. Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to
help dry any moisture on the engine.
3. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
Recoil Starter
MPORTANT: Do not pull the starter handle with engine
running.
WARNING: To avoid unsupervised
engine operation, never leave the
engine unattended while running. Turn
the engine off after use and remove
ignition key.
1. Insert ignition key fully into slot. Make sure it snaps
into place. DO NOT turn ignition key. The engine
cannot start unless the key is inserted into ignition
switch.
2. Move throttle control to FAST (rabbit) position.
3. Move choke to the ON position (cold engine start). If
engine is warm, place choke in OFF position.
4. Push primer three to five (3-5) times, making sure to
cover vent hole when pushing. If engine is warm, push
primer only once. Always cover vent hole when push-
ing. Cool weather may require priming to be repeated.
5. Pull gently on the starter handle until it begins to
resist, then pull quickly and forcefully to overcome the
compression. Do not release the handle and allow it to
snap back. Return rope SLOWLY to original position. If
required, repeat this step.
6. As the engine warms, slowly rotate the choke control
to OFF position. If the engine falters, restart engine
and run with choke at half-choke position for a short
period of time, and then slowly rotate the choke into
OFF position.
