NOTE: Use only a UL-listed, 16-gauge extension cord
recommended for outdoor use that is not longer than 50
feet (15 m).
The electrical cord can become damaged, causing
a shock or fire.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before plug-
ging it into a power source. If the cord is damaged,
do not use it to start the snowthrower. Replace or
repair the damaged cord immediately. Contact an
Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.

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.
NOTE: If you pull the recoil handle and feel no resistance,
the starter may be frozen. Thaw out the starter before
attempting to start the snowthrower.
5. While the engine is running, move the choke lever
slowly to the right position.
6. Unplug the extension cord from the power source and
the snowthrower (Figure 13).
Unplug the power cord whenever you are not start-
ing the snowthrower.
