NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of 0 ° F and
below, use partial synthetic 0W30 oil for easier starting
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils improve starting in
cold weather, these mufti-viscosity oils will result in
increased oil consumption when used above 32_'F Check
your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible
engine damage from running low on oil
Change the oil after first two hours of operation and every
25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the snow
thrower is not used for 25 hours (See Fig 20)
• Position snow thrower so that the oil drain ptug is
