Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
Underany circumstancedo notexceedmanufacturer'srecom-
mendedpsi. Equaltire pressureshouldbe maintainedat all times.
Excessivepressurewhen seatingbeadsmay causetire/rim
assemblyto burstwithforcesufficientto cause seriousinjury.Refer
to sidewallof tire for recommendedpressure.
The tirescan beover-inflatedfor shippingpurposes.Checkthe tire
pressurebeforeoperatingthe snowthrower. Referto the tire sidewall
for rnanufactures'srecommendedpsianddeflate(or inflate)thetires
as necessary.
NOTE:Equaltirepressureisto bemaintainedat alltimesfor perfor-
mancepurposes.
Fuel Recommendations
Useautomotivegasoline(unleadedor low leadedto minimizecombus-
tion chamberdeposits)witha minimumof 87 octane.Gasolinewith
upto 10%ethanolor 15%MTBE(MethylTertiaryButyl Ether)can be
used.Neverusean oil/gasolinemixtureordirty gasoline.Avoidgetting
dirt, dust,or waterinthe fuel tank.DO NOTuse E85gasoline.
• Refuelin a well-ventilatedareawiththe enginestopped.Do not
smokeor allowflamesor sparksinthe areawherethe engineis
refueledor wheregasolineis stored.
• Donot overfillthe fueltank. After refueling,makesurethe tank
cap is closedproperlyand securely.
• Be carefulnot to spillfuel whenrefueling.Spilledfuel or fuel vapor
mayignite.Ifany fuelis spilled,makesurethe areais dry before
startingthe engine.
• Avoidrepeatedor prolongedcontactwith skinor breathingof vapor.
Adding Fuel
Useextremecarewhenhandlinggasoline.Gasolineis extremely
flammableand the vaporsare explosive. Neverfuel the machine
indoorsor while the engineis hotor running.Extinguishcigarettes,
cigars,pipesandother sourcesof ignition.
usea pressurizedstartingfluid. Vaporsareflammable.
