turning clockwise until cap is seated.
NOTE: On some engines, a threaded screw cap will be present
instead of the quarter turn locking cap. In the instance of a threaded oil
cap/dipstick, DO NOT screw the cap/dipstick in to check. Check the oil
by resting the cap/dipstick on the threads, but not screwing it in.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil
until oil level registers between high (H) and low (L), Fig. 11.
4. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard
starting, or spark plug fouling.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the "L" mark on the
dipstick. Doing so may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
NOTE: To change the oil on your engine, see the Maintenance Sec-
tion of the engine operator's manual included with the snow thrower.
ADJUSTMENTS
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory for
shipping purposes. Adjust them downward prior to operating the snow
thrower.
CAUTION
It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel
as it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal
injury or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, adjust the skid shoes so that
the shave plate on the bottom of the auger housing is just off the ground.
Adjust the skid shoes to a lower position to raise the shave plate off the
ground when clearing uneven areas, such as a ribbon type driveway or
a gravel driveway
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel surface,
keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the
ground and the shave plate.
