- Ensure Snowblower is Off: Before connecting the power cord, ensure your snowblower's engine is completely off and the ignition key (if applicable) is removed.

- Connect to Power Outlet: Plug the standard three-prong end of the power cord into a grounded 120V AC electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is suitable for outdoor use and protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) if required by local codes.
- Verify Connection: Double-check that both ends of the power cord are securely connected before attempting to start the snowblower.
4. Operation
Once the power cord is securely connected, you can use the electric starter feature of your snowblower:
- Prepare Snowblower: Follow your snowblower's specific instructions for starting, which may include priming the engine or setting the choke.
- Engage Starter: Press and hold the electric starter button on your snowblower. The engine should begin to crank.
