How to Start a Yard Machine Model 150 Snowblower

The Yard Machine E150 snowblower is a durable machine that can move a large amount of snow in a short period of time. The E150 snowblower is best used on paved driveways rather than on gravel, as the shovel grazes quite close to the ground. It is not a self-propelled model, but it does have an electric start option.This makes it very easy to start, especially when you are standing in 3 to 4 feet of snow and cannot get any traction to pull a cord.

Things You'll Need

• Power source

Instructions

1. Wheel your Yard Machine E150 snowblower out of your garage or storage shed and position it near a power source. Plug one end of the power cord that came with the Yard Machine into the outlet located on the rear of the machine and the other end into the power source.

2. Turn the switch to the "on" position and push the engine primer button with your thumb five or six times. Allow the button to pop back out completely between each push.

3. Squeeze the starter handle tight with the push handle. Push the starting button located on the rear of the Yard Machine next to the power outlet. The engine will start, and you will be ready to clear the snow.

Tips & Warnings

• The Yard Machine E150 snowblower also has a pull cord start. If you use the cord, it is not necessary to plug the Yard Machine into a power source.
