Step 2 - ADD GASOLINE
Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do
not 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 0.42 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.
OPERATING YOUR SNOW THROWER
The following section describes steps to use your Snow Thrower for use. If after reading this section,
you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call 1-800-791-9458 for customer service.
Failure to perform these steps properly can damage your Snow Thrower or shorten its life.
Review the SAFETY section in this manual before operating the engine and snow thrower.
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, 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 your Snow Thrower and inspect it for frozen parts. Thaw all parts before
