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 SAE 5W-30 oil, shipped with your unit, 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. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean. See Figure 11.

3. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
4. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. Slowly add oil into the reservoir until oil
level registers between high (H) and low (L), Figure 11.
5. Replace and tighten oil filler cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard starting,
or spark plug fouling.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the "L" mark on the dipstick.
Doing so may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
NOTE:
To change the oil on your engine, see the Service and Maintenance
section of this manual.
