Move the throttle lever to the “Stop” position.
5.4.5
Close the fuel shutoff valve.

Pull the recoil starter with a rapid, continuous,
full-arm stroke 3 or 4 times. This helps prevent the

the operating position.
5.5 Preventing Freeze-up
5.5.1
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have
difficulty operating any control or part, start the
engine and let it run for a few minutes.
5.5.2
After using the snow thrower, let the engine run
for a few minutes to prevent moving parts from
freezing. Engage the auger/impeller to clear any
remaining snow from inside the housing. Rotate the
discharge chute control to prevent it from freezing.
Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove all ice and snow from the snow thrower.
5.5.3
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times to prevent the recoil starter from
freezing up.
5.6 Operating Tips
When the snow thrower is in operation, the impeller
/auger can rotate and cut off or injure hands and feet.
Before
adjusting,
cleaning,
inspecting,
troubleshooting, or repairing the snow thrower, stop
the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and keep it
away from the plug to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine.
Remove an obstruction from the discharge chute
and auger/impeller housing; refer to “Unclogging
the
Discharge
Chute
and Auger/Impeller
Housing”. Use the clean-out tool, not your hands,
to remove an obstruction from the discharge
chute or auger/impeller housing.
Stay behind the handles and away from the
discharge opening while operating the snow
thrower.
Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of your
body or clothing away from concealed, moving,
or rotating parts.
