Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting
the gasoline, place the container and/or
snowthrower on the ground before filling,
not in a vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
• Do not tip the snowthrower backward with
fuel in the fuel tank; otherwise, fuel may leak
out of the snowthrower.

service station (Figure 10).

Important: Do not add oil to the gasoline.
Important: Do not use E85 or E20 fuel. Alternative
fuels with high alcohol content can cause hard
starting, poor engine performance, and may cause
internal engine damage.
Note: For best results, purchase only the quantity of
gasoline that you expect to use in 30 days. Otherwise,
you may add fuel stabilizer to newly purchased gasoline
to keep it fresh for up to 6 months.
