Starting the Engine

Important Ensure that there are no obstructions in the
auger/impeller and the discharge chute before you operate
the snowthrower. Use a stick, not your hand, to remove an
obstruction from the auger/impeller or the discharge chute.
1. Connect the wire to the spark plug.
2. Move the throttle to the Fast position.
3. Release the auger/impeller drive control lever and the
traction control lever (Fig. 20).
4. Open the fuel shutoff valve below the fuel tank
(Fig. 22).
5. Rotate the choke (Fig. 21) to the On position.
6. Insert the ignition key (Fig. 21).
Important
Do not use the primer or the choke if the
engine has been running and is hot. Excessive priming may
flood the engine and prevent it from starting.
7. Cover the hole in the center of the primer (Fig. 21) with
your thumb and push in the primer three times, pausing
a moment between pushes.
