BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
FILL OIL:
This snowthrower was shipped with a container of 5W30
oil. This oil must be added to the engine before operating.
Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and fill the crank case to
FULL line on dipstick (26 ounces) (See FIG. 6) with S.A.E.
5W-30 motor oil.
NOTE: Engine may already contain some residual oil.
Check frequently when filling the crankcase. Do not
over fill.
Tighten the fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check
the oil level.
NOTE: Oil must be changed after the first 2 hours of
operation to extend engine life.
NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of O^F. and
bebw, use a partial synethetic 0W30 motor oil for easier
starting.
FILL GAS:
Fi 11 the fuel tank with clea n, fresh, un I eaded g rade automo­
tive gasoline. Be sure that the container you pour the
gasoline from is clean and free from rust or other foreign
particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale from tong
periods of storage in the container.
NOTE: S.A.E. 5W-30 motor oil may be used to make
starling easier in areas where temperature is consistently
20° F. or tower.
WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or those using ethanol or metha­
nol) can attract rrK)isture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use the carburetor bowl drain to empty residual
gasoline from the float chamber (FIG. 1 in the Storage
section of this manual). Usefresh fuel next season. (See
Storage section in this manual for additional informa­
tion.)
Neveruse engine or carburetorcleanerproductsinthefuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
