Checking & Adding Oil

1. Place the snow blower 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 blower

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.
•  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.

Auger Control

• Located on the upper handle, the auger control handle is used to engage and disengage drive to the auger.
• Squeeze the control handle against the upper handle to engage the auger; release it to disengage.

Chute Assembly

• Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the control handle.
• The pitch of the discharge chute controls the angle at which the snow is thrown.
• Loosen the wing knob on the side of the discharge chute before pivoting the discharge chute upward or downward.
• Retighten the knob once the desired position has been achieved.
