2. Move throttle (Fig. 20) to FAST
3. Ensure that auger/impeller control lever and
traction control lever are in disengaged position
(Fig. 19).
4. Open fuel shut–off valve below fuel tank
(Fig. 21).
5. Rotate choke (Fig. 20) to ON
6. Insert ignition key (Fig. 20).
7. Cover hole in center of primer (Fig. 20) with
thumb and push primer slowly three times. DO
NOT PRIME IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN
RUNNING AND IS HOT.
Note: Excessive priming may cause flooding
of engine and failure to start.
8. Grasp recoil starter handle (Fig. 22) and pull it
out slowly until positive engagement results;
then pull vigorously to start the engine. Keep
firm grip on starter handle and return the rope
slowly.
Note: If engine does not start or if
temperature is –10 F (–23 C) or
below, additional priming may be
required. After each additional prime,
try to start the engine before priming
again.
9. After engine starts, immediately rotate choke
(Fig. 20) to 3/4 position. As engine warms up,
rotate choke to 1/2 position; then to OFF
position. If engine falters, return choke to 1/2
position. When engine warms sufficiently, rotate
choke to OFF position.

rotating when auger/impeller control lever is
disengaged. While standing in the operator
position behind the handles, look around to the
side of the auger housing (Fig. 26). If the auger
and impeller are rotating, a large screw head on
the side of the auger housing will be rotating
(Fig. 26). If the auger and impeller are
rotating when the the engine is running and
the auger/impeller control lever is not
engaged, immediately stop the unit. Refer to
Adjusting Auger/Impeller Drive Belt, page 20. If
the problem persists, bring unit to an Authorized
Toro Service Dealer for repair.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate unit if auger
and impeller rotate when auger/impeller
control lever is not engaged.
Engage auger to clear any remaining snow from
inside the housing.
Run engine for a few minutes to help dry off any
moisture which may have accumulated on
engine.
With engine running, pull recoil starter with a
rapid, continuous full arm stroke three or four
times. This helps prevent possible freeze–up of
recoil starter due to extreme snow blowing
conditions.
Note: Pulling of recoil starter rope produces a
loud, clattering sound. This is not
harmful to the engine or the starter.
Release traction and auger/impeller control
levers (Fig. 19).
Move throttle (Fig. 20) to SLOW
