Fuel And Oil Mixture
Your snow thrower is equipped with a two-cycle engine that
requires a mixture of gasoline and two cycle oil at a ratio of 50:1.
Refer to the engine operator’s manual for detailed instructions
regarding the mixture of oil and gasoline for your snow thrower’s
engine.
Fuel Fill-Up
WARNING! Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
Check fuel level and add if necessary. Follow related
instructions in the separate engine manual packed with
your snow thrower .
NOTE: A plastic insert may have been placed into the fuel tank to
prevent dirt and debris from entering the tank during assembly.
Remove this insert before attempting to fill with fuel.
