If the engine still does not start, take the snow thrower 

to the dealer for service.   

5.3.7 

Disconnect the cord from the electric starter and 

the outlet. 

5.3.8 

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 “Run” position. 

 

 

 

If  you  leave  the  snow  thrower  plugged  into  a 

power outlet, someone can inadvertently start the 

snow  thrower  and  injure  someone  or  damage 

property. 

 

Unplug  the  power  cord  whenever  you  are  not 

starting the snow thrower. 

 
5.4 Stopping the Engine 

5.4.1 

Engage the auger to remove any remaining snow   

from inside the housing. 

5.4.2

 Run the engine for a few minutes to dry off any 

accumulated moisture. 

5.4.3 

Release  the  auger/impeller  drive  control  lever 

and the traction control lever. 

5.4.4

 Stop the engine by doing one of the following: 

 

Move  the  throttle  lever  to  the  slow         

position and remove the ignition key. 

 

Move the throttle lever to the “Stop” position. 

5.4.5 

Close the fuel shutoff valve. 

5.4.6

  Pull  the  recoil  starter  with  a  rapid,  continuous, 

full-arm  stroke  3  or  4  times.  This  helps  prevent  the 

recoil starter from freezing up. 

5.4.7

 Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving 

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.
