Operation

Starting/Stopping Engine
(Fig. 5)
1. CONTROLS—Key switch, primer, electric start
button (if applicable), and recoil starter are
located on the control panel. The choke lever is
just below the lower left corner of the control
panel.
2. Turn key to ON and move choke lever to ON
(far right position).
3. Cover hole in center of primer with thumb and
push primer twice slowly (1 to 2 seconds per
prime) for temperatures above 0 F (–18 C).
Push primer slowly three times for temperatures
below 0 F (–18 C). DO NOT PRIME IF THE
ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING AND IS
HOT
Note: When starting engine for first time or
after running out of fuel, more priming
may be required to start engine.
4. STARTING
A. RECOIL STARTING—Hold snowthrower
with one hand and pull recoil starter
vigorously with other hand. If engine does
not start after three pulls, push primer once
more and pull recoil starter vigorously
again.
B. ELECTRIC STARTING—Connect
extension cord to snowthrower and standard
household power outlet. Push starter button.
When engine starts, disconnect extension
cord from snowthrower and outlet.
IMPORTANT: Excessive running of the
electric starter could damage the starter due
to overheating. If you are having difficulty
starting the engine, ONLY TRY THIS
STARTING PROCEDURE TWICE. Run the
electric starter no more than 10 times at
intervals of 5 seconds ON, 5 seconds OFF. If
engine does not start after this first attempt,
EN–7
wait more than 40 minutes to allow starter to
cool before trying to run starter again. Before
repeating engine starting procedure, check
that ignition key switch is ON, and make sure
there is fresh fuel in fuel tank. If engine still
will not start after a second attempt, bring the
snowthrower to an Authorized Toro Service
Dealer for servicing.

position after a few seconds of running time.
After engine has warmed up, move choke lever
to OFF (far left) position.

for all moving parts to stop before leaving
operator's position.

Operating Tips (Fig. 6)

POTENTIAL HAZARD
When engine is running, discharge rotor is
turning.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Objects thrown from discharge chute can
cause personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Keep yourself and other people away from
discharge opening when engine is running.
Before leaving operating position, stop
engine by turning key to OFF.
1. ADJUSTING DISCHARGE CHUTE —
Move the chute handle left and right to adjust the
direction of the snow stream. Rotate the chute
deflector handle on top of the discharge chute
forward and backward to adjust the height of the
snow stream. Do not overtighten the chute
deflector mounting nuts so excessive force is
required to adjust the deflector.
2. SELF–PROPELLING ACTION — The
snowthrower clears down to the ground and
propels itself forward when the handle is raised
