ASSEMBLY
Adding Fuel
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.
WARNING
Always keep hands and feet clear of equipment moving parts. Do not use a
pressurized starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.
1. Remove the gas cap, check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary. Fill the
tank until the fuel reaches 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow
for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill.
Checking & Adding Oil
CAUTION
The engine is shipped without oil in the engine. You must fill the engine
with oil before operating. Running the engine with insufficient oil can
cause serious engine damage and void the product warranty.
1. Place the snow thrower on a flat, level surface.
2. On some models the oil filler cap/dipstick can be accessed on the left side of
the shroud. See Figure 7. On other models the oil filler cap/dipstick can be
accessed at the rear of the snow thrower. See Figure 8.

3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean.
4. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
5. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil until oil
level registers between the upper lever and lower level.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard starting,
or spark plug fouling.
6. Replace and tighten oil filler cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the lover level on the dipstick.
Doing so may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
NOTE: To change the oil on your engine, see the Maintenance section of this
manual.
