EMiSSiONS CONTROL STATEMENT
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road engine
repair establishment or individual. However, to obtain "no charge"
emissions control service, the work must be performed by a factory
authorized dealer. See the Emissions Warranty.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Check Crankcase Oil Level - Before starting engine and after
each 8 hours of continuous use. Add the recommended motor oil
as required.
NOTE: Over filling the engine can affect performance.
Tighten the oil fill cap securely to prevent leakage.
Change Oil - Every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year,
even if the snowthrower is not used for fifty hours. Use a clean, high
quality detergent oil. Fill the crankcase to FULL line on dipstick (A,
Figure 14). Be sure original container is marked: A.RI. service "SG"
or higher. Do not use SAE10W40 oil (as it may not provide proper
lubrication). See Chart for oil recommendations.
Drain Oil - Position snowthrower so that the oil drain plug (A,
Figure 15) is lowest point on engine. When the engine is warm,
remove oil drain plug and oil fill cap and drain oil into a suitable
container.
Replace oil drain plug and tighten securely. Refill crankcase with
the recommended motor oil.
