CHOKE ENGINE OIL GAS O LINE CONTROL FILL CAP / DIPSTICK FILLER CAP NOTE: ALL ITEMS ARE SHOWN IN THEIR TYPICAL LOCATION. ACTUAL LOCATION MAY VARY WITH ENGINE ON YOUR UNIT. 12 FIG. 20 OPERATION TO START ENGINE Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt A.C. electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current. • Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire ground ed system. If you are uncertain, consult a li censed electrician. WARNING: Do not use the electric start er if your house is not a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se ri ous per son al injury or damage to your snow thrower could result. COLD START - ELECTRIC STARTER 1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts bag) into ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place. 2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position. 3. Rotate choke control to “FULL” position. 4. Connect the power cord to the engine. 5. Plug the other end of the power cord into a three-hole grounded 120 Volt A.C. receptacle. NOTE: Do not use primer when start ing en gine with the electric starter. 6. Push starter button until engine starts. IMPORTANT: Do not crank engine more than five con tin u ous seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 5 to 10 seconds between each attempt. 7. When the engine starts, release the starter button and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position. 8. Disconnect the power cord from the receptacle first, then from the engine. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature. WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the “OFF” position. COLD START - RECOIL STARTER 1. Insert safety ignition key (packed separately in parts bag) into ignition slot until it clicks. DO NOT turn the key. Keep the extra safety ignition key in a safe place. 2. Place ON / OFF switch in “ON” position. 3. Rotate choke control to “FULL” position. 4. Push the primer four (4) times if the temperature is below 15°F, or two (2) times if temperature is between 15° and 50°F. If temperature is above 50°F, priming is not nec es sary. NOTE: Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait a few minutes be fore at tempt ing to start and DO NOT push the primer. 5. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter rope to snap back. 6. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter han dle and slowly move the choke control to the “OFF” position. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. Engine will not develop full power until it has reached normal operating temperature. WARM START - RECOIL STARTER Follow the steps above, keeping the choke in the “OFF” position. DO NOT push the primer. BEFORE STOPPING Run the engine for a few minutes to help dry off any moisture on the engine. IF RECOIL STARTER HAS FROZEN If the recoil starter has frozen and will not turn the engine, proceed as follows: 1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much rope out of the starter as possible. 2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back against the starter. If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or use the electric starter. SNOW THROWING TIPS • Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the drive speed control, NOT the ON / OFF switch, to adjust speed. • It is easier and more efficient to remove snow im me di ate ly after it falls. • The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming tem per a tures. • Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be removed. • Throw snow downwind whenever possible. • Ad just the skid plates to proper height for current snow con di tions. See “TO ADJUST SKID PLATES” in this section of this manual. • For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow removal by over lap ping previous path and moving slowly. • Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life. • After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine. • Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use. WARNING: Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions im pair visibility. Throwing snow dur ing a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower. 13 14 MAINTENANCE GENERAL REC OMM EN DA TIONS LUBRICATION CHART The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been sub ject ed to operator abuse or negligence.
