mix oil with gasoline.
To add gasoline, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the snow thrower is on a level surface.
2.
Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. NOTE: The fuel cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3.
Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. The capacity of the fuel tank
is 0.5 gallons. NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. Gasoline will expand and spill over
during use even with the fuel cap in place.
4.
Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
•
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
•
Never use old gasoline.
•
Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
•
Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting difficult. Never store snow thrower for extended
periods of time with fuel in the tank or the carburetor.
NOTE:
After completing the above preparation, the engine is ready to be started.
WARNING!
Keep the area of operation free from foreign objects that can be thrown by the auger and/or
impeller blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by
surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the
snow thrower immediately, remove the obstruction, and inspect it for damage. Repair or replace any
damaged parts before restarting and operating you snow thrower.
•
Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise of
the snow thrower when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
•
Start your clearing path by throwing snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the opposite
direction, stop your snow thrower and pivot it on its’ wheels to face the opposite direction. Make sure
to overlap clearing paths.
•
Determine the direction of the wind. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the
snow is not thrown against the wind, back into your face and on the just cleared path.
WARNING! DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS TO UNCLOG CHUTE.
Stop the motor before removing
debris. Use the supplied Clean-out tool to unclog the chute. Do not walk in front of your running snow
thrower. Do not direct discharged snow towards bystanders.
•
Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine since this may damage the engine.
•
Some parts of your snow thrower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt to
operate your snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while your snow thrower is in use, stop
the unit and inspect it for frozen parts. Thaw all parts before restarting and operating your snow
thrower. Never force parts or controls that are frozen. Never use an open flame of any sort to thaw
frozen parts.
Pre-Operation Inspection - IMPORTANT!!!
Before using your snow thrower for the first time, check the following:
•
Have you read and followed all setup and operation procedures for the engine as outlined?
•
Has the engine been filled with oil and gasoline to the proper level?
•
Are all snow thrower components properly attached and assembled?
•
Are there any broken or damaged parts?
•
Are all fasteners tight?
•
Are the tires inflated to the proper pressure?
