Fuel Recommendations

Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize

combustion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane.

Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary

Butyl Ether) can be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or

dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.

DO NOT use E85 gasoline.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. •

Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where

the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the •

tank cap is closed properly and securely.

Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or •

fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the

area is dry before starting the engine.

Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or •

breathing of vapor.

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.

Clean around fuel fill before removing cap to fuel.1.

A fuel level indicator is located in the fuel tank. Fill tank 2.

until fuel reaches the fuel level indictor, Fig. 3-12. Be careful

not to overfill.

Checking Oil Level

CAUTION: The engine is shipped with oil in the

engine. You must, however, check the oil level prior

to operating the snow thrower. Running the engine

with insufficient oil can cause serious engine

damage and void the engine warranty.

NOTE: Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the

engine stopped.

Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick 1.

clean. See Fig. 3-13.

Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do 2. not

screw it in.

Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly 3.

add oil until oil level registers between high (H) and low

(L), Fig. 3-13. Refer to the Engine Maintenance section for

correct oil viscosity and engine oil capacity.

NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may result in

engine smoking, hard starting or spark plug fouling.

Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting 4.

engine.

Tire Pressure

WARNING: Under any circumstance do not exceed

manufacturer’s recommended psi. Equal tire

pressure should be maintained at all times. Excessive

pressure when seating beads may cause tire/rim

assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause

serious injury. Refer to sidewall of tire for

recommended pressure.

The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the tire

pressure before operating the snow thrower. Refer to the tire side

wall for tire manufacturer’s recommended psi and deflate (or

inflate) the tires as necessary.

Note: Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for

performance purposes.
