2.
Clean around oil fill. Remove the dipstick and wipe
it with a clean cloth. Insert the dipstick into the oil
tank and rotate it in until it reaches the bottom.
Remove the dipstick and check the oil mark. If the
oil cover is less than half of L to H, continue to
refuel. Until the oil level reaches the top H of the
dipstick. Do not over fill the oil tank.
3.
Reinstall oil dipstick.
CHANGING/ADDING OIL
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule. Change the oil when the
engine is warm. This will allow for complete drainage. Change oil more often if operating under
heavy load. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with
water or dirt. The oil capacity of the engine is 20.29 fl.oz. Add oil when the oil level is low. For
general use, we recommend 5W, 4-stroke engine oil.
To drain oil, follow these steps:
1.
Place a container underneath the engine to catch oil as it drains.
2.
Using a wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug. Allow all the oil to
drain from the engine.
3.
Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten with a wrench.
To refill the crankcase with oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the snow blower is on a level surface. Tilting the snow blower to assist in filling will
cause oil to flow into engine areas and will cause damage. Keep snow blower level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. Using a funnel or appropriate dispenser, add the correct amount of oil (20.29 fl.oz) into the
crankcase. The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor and will not start if the amount of oil is
insufficient.
4. Reinstall dipstick.
NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash or down a drain. Please call a local recycling
center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
