Installing the Carburetor
Heater Box
To install the carburetor heater box, reverse the steps
given in Removing the Carburetor Heater Box. Remove
the fasteners from their holes before installing the
carburetor heater box.

Filling the Fuel Tank

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.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add
fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old. Do not add oil to
the gasoline.
1. Clean around the fuel tank cap (Figure 12).
2. Remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline to within
1/4 to 1/2 (6 to 13 mm) from the top of the tank.
Do not fill into the filler neck.
Important: Do not fill the fuel tank more
than 1/4 inch (6 mm) from the top of the tank
because the gasoline must have room to expand.
4. Install the fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
