6. If engine is warm, place choke in OFF position  
instead of FULL.  
WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with  
a three-wire power cord and plug, and is designed  
to operate on 120 volt AC household current. It  
must be properly grounded at all times to avoid the  
possibility of electric shock which may be injurious  
to the operator. Follow all instructions carefully.  
Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire  
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you  
are not certain. If your house wiring system is not a  
three-wire grounded system, do not use this electric  
starter under any conditions. If your system is  
grounded and a three-hole receptacle is not  
available at the point your starter will normally be  
used, one should be installed by a licensed  
electrician.  
7. Connect power cord to switch box on engine.  
Plug the other end of power cord into a three-  
hole, grounded 120 volt AC receptacle.  
8. Recoil Start Only: Push primer button two or  
three times. If engine is warm, push primer  
button once only. See figure 16.  
NOTE: Always cover vent hole in primer button  
when pushing. Additional priming may be necessary  
o
for first start if temperature is below 15 F.  
9. Electric Start: Push starter button on top of the  
engine to crank the engine. When engine starts,  
release starter button.  
Recoil Start: Grasp starter handle (see figure  
16) and pull rope out slowly, until it pulls slightly  
harder. Let rope rewind slowly. Pull starter  
handle rapidly. Do not allow handle to snap  
back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a  
firm hold on the starter handle.  
When connecting the power cord, always connect  
cord to starter on engine first, then plug the other  
end into a three-hole grounded receptacle.  
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug  
the end from the three-hole grounded receptacle  
first.  
10. Repeat step 9 until engine starts. If engine fails  
to start, repeat steps 8 and 9 until engine starts.  
11. As engine warms up and begins to operate  
evenly, rotate choke knob slowly to OFF  
position. If engine falters, return to FULL choke,  
then slowly move to OFF position.  
TO START ENGINE  
IMPORTANT: If unit shows any sign of motion

snow throwing process. Refer to “Traction Drive/  
Auger Clutch Lock” in the Control section.  
Connect power cord to switch box on engine, then  
to 120 volt AC receptacle. With the engine running,  
push starter button and spin the starter for several  
seconds. The unusual sound made by spinning the  
starter will not harm engine or starter. Disconnect  
the power cord from receptacle first, and then from  
switch box.

engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid,  
continuous full arm stroke three or four times.  
Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering  
sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.  
3. To stop engine, remove the ignition key. Do not  
turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from  
the spark plug to prevent accidental starting  
while equipment is unattended.  
NOTE: Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a safe  
place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.  
4. Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor  
cover in the area of the control levers. Also,  
move control levers back and forth several  
times. Leave throttle control lever in the STOP  
or OFF position. Leave choke control in the  
FULL choke position.  
OPERATING TIPS  
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few  
minutes as the engine will not develop full power  
until it reaches operating temperature.  
WARNING: Temperature of muffler  
and surrounding areas may exceed  
o
150 F. Avoid these areas.  
1. For most efficient snow removal, remove snow  
immediately after it falls.  
2. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.  
Slightly overlap each previous swath.  
3. Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar  
for normal usage. The skid shoes may be  
adjusted upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust  
downward when using on gravel or crushed  
rock.

SECTION 11: OFF-SEASON STORAGE  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an  
acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of  
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to  
gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always  
follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run  
engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to  
allow it to reach carburetor. Do not drain carburetor  
if using fuel stabilizer.  
WARNING: Never store engine with  
fuel in tank indoors or in poorly  
ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may  
reach an open flame, spark or pilot  
light as on a furnace, water heater,  
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.  
If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for  
storage as follows:  
1. Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel  
tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on  
these parts and causing possible malfunction of  
engine.  
2. Remove spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of  
engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder.  
Crank engine several times to distribute oil.  
Replace spark plug.  
3. Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and  
equipment.  
a. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and  
engine stops due to lack of fuel.  
b. Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl  
drain, located below the carburetor cover.  
4. Follow lubrication recommendations on page 14.  
5. Store in a clean, dry area.

MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY FOR:  
For TWO YEARS from the date of retail purchase  
within the United States of America, its possessions  
and territories, MTD PRODUCTS INC will, at its  
option, repair or replace, for the original purchaser,  
free of charge, any part or parts found to be  
defective in material or workmanship. This warranty  
covers units which have been operated and  
maintained in accordance with the operating  
instructions furnished with the unit, and which have  
not been subject to misuse, abuse, commercial use,  
neglect, accident, improper maintenance or  
alteration.  
Units exported out of the United States: MTD  
PRODUCTS INC does not extend any warranty  
for products sold or exported outside of the United  
States of America, its possessions and territories,  
except those sold through MTD PRODUCTS INC’s  
authorized channels of export distribution.  
Other Warranties:  
1. The engine or component parts thereof carry  
separate warranties from their manufacturers.  
Please refer to the applicable manufacturer’s  
warranty on these items.  
2. *Batteries are covered by a 90-day replacement  
warranty.  
3. Log splitter pumps, valves and cylinders or  
component parts thereof are covered by a one  
year warranty.  
4. All other warranties, express or implied,  
including any implied warranty of merchantability  
or fitness for a particular purpose, are hereby  
expressly disclaimed in their entirety.  
5. The provisions as set forth in this warranty  
provide the sole and exclusive remedy of MTD  
PRODUCTS INC’s obligations arising from the  
sales of its products. MTD PRODUCTS INC will  
not be liable for incidental or consequential loss  
or damage.  
Normal wear parts or components thereof are  
subject to separate terms as noted below in the “No  
Fault Ninety Day Consumer Warranty” clause.  
All normal wear part failures will be covered on this  
product for a period of 90 days regardless of cause.  
After 90 days, but within the two year period, normal  
wear parts failures will be covered ONLY IF caused  
by defects in material or workmanship of OTHER  
component parts. Normal wear parts are defined as  
batteries*, belts, blades, blade adapters, grass  
bags, rider deck wheels, seats, snow thrower skid

How state law relates to this warranty: This  
limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and  
you may also have other rights which vary from  
state to state. Certain disclaimers are not allowed in  
some states and therefore they may not apply to  
you under all circumstances.  
NOTE: This warranty does not cover routine  
maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade  
sharpening and tune-ups, or adjustments such as  
brake adjustments, clutch adjustments or deck  
adjustments. Nor does this warranty cover normal

for the movement of any power equipment unit or  
attachment are the responsibility of the purchaser.
