Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I just bought a house and they left us their NOMA 10 HP snow thrower, but no instruction manual or user's guide.  Does anyone out there know how to start/operate this machine?  I've googled for hours to no avail.  I did find out that they are made (or at least as of 1996) were made by Murray. 

It's a 10 HP, 6 speed, model 627104x8

Thanks in advance!
