•In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower
engine as instructed on page 9. Make sure the
throttle is set in the fast position.
•While standing in the operator’s position (behind
the snow thrower), engage the auger and allow the
auger to remain engaged for approximately ten
seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat
this several times.
•With the engine running in the fast position and the
auger control lever in the disengaged “up” position,
walk to the front of the machine.
•Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows no signs of motion.
IMPORTANT:
immediately return to the operator’s position and shut
