Important: Run the electric starter no more than
10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds
off. Running the electric starter extensively can
overheat and damage it. If the engine does not start
after this series of attempts, wait at least 40 minutes
to allow the starter to cool before attempting to start it
again. If the engine does not start after the second
series of attempts, take the snowthrower to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.
