An electric start may have been offered as an option on some versions, but pull start was standard. As a two-stage unit, it utilizes an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw the snow away from the clearing path.

Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn paddles or components to maintain optimal performance.
Check and replace shear pins as needed. Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage if a hard object is encountered.
Change the engine oil annually. Use the recommended oil type and follow the manufacturer's instructions for oil changes. Consider using fuel stabilizer during the off-season to prevent fuel degradation.
Adjust the skid shoes to prevent damage to the pavement and ensure proper scraping of the snow.
