If you have electric start use an extention cord, depress the drive lever, hit the start button and the machine will move.
I used this when my blower quit running some distance from my garage. I let the starter cool down a bit after about 10 feet
to be on the safe side. Also handy when in storage with no gas in it, but has to have oil as the engine turns over.
Hope this helps, I remembered starting an old 55 Ford standard trans. in gear( drove Automatic earlier)
and it jumped ahead, same principle for the
blower.
