FILL OIL:
NOTE: Engine may already contain
some residual oil. Check frequently
when filling the crankcase. DO NOT
overfill.
The snow thrower was shipped with a
container of 5W30 motor oil. This oil
must be added to the engine before op-
erating.
1. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and
fill the crank case to "FULL" line on
dipstick. DO NOT overfill. See
Figure 6.
2. Tighten the fill cap/dipstick securely
each time you check the oil level.
NOTE: S.A.E. 5W30 motor oil may be
used to make starting easier in areas
where temperature is consistently 20°E
or lower.

FILL GAS:
The engine is certified to comply with
California and US EPA emission regula-
tions for ULGE (Utility or Lawn and Gar-
den Equipment) engines. ULGE
engines are certified to operate on reg-
ular unleaded gasoline.
_IL ARNING: Alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or
those using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage.
NOTE: To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system must be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer. Start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use the float
bowl drain to empty residual gasoline
from the float chamber. Use fresh fuel
next season. See the Storage section
in this manual for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
f,
Fill the fuel tank only with a fresh,
clean, unleaded regular, unleaded
premium, or reformulated automo-
tive gasoline. DO NOT use leaded
gasoline. We recommend that you
add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline.
Use the fuel stabilizer supplied with
the unit or purchase Craftsman Fuel
Stabilizer No. 3550. Make sure that
the container you pour the gasoline
from is clean and free from rust or
other foreign particles. Never use
