tow it to rewind slowly while keeping a
firm hold on the starter handle.

shutdown, leave choke at (Off) and do not
push the primer button. If the engine fails to
start, follow the Cold Start instructions
above.
FROZEN RECOIL STARTER
Ifthe starter is frozen and willnot turn engine:
• Pull as much rope out of the starter as
possible.
• Release the starter handle and let it snap
back against the starter.
If the starter still fails to turn engine, repeat
the two previous steps untilthe starter en-
gages. Then continue with the directions for
cold start.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of recoil
starter and engine controls, proceed as fol-
lows after each snow removal job.
• With the engine running, pull the starter
rope hard with a continuous full arm
stroke three or four times. Pulling of
starter rop_ will produce a _oudclattering
sound. This is not harmful to the engine
or starter.
• With the engine not running, wipe all
snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in area of control levers. Also
move throttle control, choke control, and
starter handle several times.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
• For maximum snow thrower efficiency
operate engine at (Full) throttle. The en-
gine is designed to deliver maximum
performance at full throttle and should be
run at this power setting at all times.
• Most efficient snow throwing is accom-
plished when the snow is removed
immediately after it falls.
• For complete snow removal, slightly
overlap each path previously taken.
• The snow should be discharged down
wind whenever possible.
• After the snow throwing job has been
completed, allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes, which wilt melt the snow
and accumulated ice off the engine.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after
each use.
• Remove ice and snow accumulation and
all debds from the entire snowthrower,
and flush with water (if possible) to re-
move all salt or other chemicals. Wipe
snow thrower dry.
