straight into the back of the headlight until it is securely
in place (Figure 17).

Note: Ensure that the plastic clip on the wire
connector is on the bottom (Figure 17).
2. Secure a cable tie (from the loose parts bag) around the
wire and the handle about an inch (2.5 cm) below the
U-bolt (Figure 17).

6. Filling the Engine with Oil

Your snowthrower comes with 26 oz. of oil in the engine.
Note: Before starting the engine, check the oil level and
add oil if necessary.
Max. fill: 26 oz. (0.77 l), type: automotive detergent oil with
an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.
•
For temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use SAE 30W.
•
For temperatures between 0°F and 32°F (-18°C to 0°C),
use SAE 5W30 or SAE 10W.
•
For air temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), use SAE 0W30.
1. Remove the dipstick and slowly pour oil into the oil
fill tube to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the
dipstick. Do not overfill.(Figure 18).
3. Cable tie

2. Install the dipstick securely.
Note: Do not spill oil around the oil fill tube; oil could
leak onto traction parts and cause the traction to slip.

7. Checking the Tire Pressure

The tires are overinflated at the factory for shipping. Reduce
the pressure equally in both tires to between 17 and 20 psi
(116 and 137 kPa).

8. Checking the Skids

Refer to Checking and Adjusting the Skids in Maintenance.
