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 speed shift control to the N (Neutral)
position and the throttle to the Fast position.
3. Release the auger/impeller drive control lever and the
traction control lever (Fig. 13).
4. Open the fuel shutoff valve below the fuel tank
(Fig. 15).
5. Rotate the choke (Fig. 14) to the On position.

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.
