BEFORE STARTING
ENGINE
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF or SG. Use SAE 5W30
engine oil only.
FILL OIL
This snow thrower was shipped with a container of
5W30 oil. This oil must be added to the engine before
starting. For extreme cold operating conditions of 0° F
or below, use a partial synthetic 0W30 motor oil for
easier starting.
NOTE: In areas where temperature is consistently at
20 ° F or lower, you may use OW30 motor off for easier
starting.
• Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
• Pour the oil and fill the crankcase to line (Full) on
dipstick (19 ounces). See figure 17.
•
Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick securely.
NOTE: Engine may already contain some residual oil.
Check frequently when filling the crankcase. Do not
overfill.
NOTE: Oil must be changed after the first two (2)
hours of operation to extend engine life.
FILL GAS
WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and cau-
tion must be used when handling or storing it.
Do not fill fuel tank while snow thrower is run-
ning, when it is hot or when snow thrower is
in an enclosed area.
Keep away from open flame or an electrical
spark and do not smoke while filling the fuel
tank.
Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the
tank to within 1/4"-1/2" from the top to pro-
vide space for expansion of fuel.
Always fill fuel tank outdoors and use a fun-
nel or spout to prevent spilling.
Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before starting
the engine.
