Filling the Engine with Oil

Your snowthrower comes with only a few ounces of
oil in the engine. Before starting the engine, add
oil.
Note: The bottle that comes with the snowthrower
contains 25 oz. of oil.
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.
2. Slowly pour oil
into the oil fill tube
to raise the oil level
to the Full mark on
the dipstick. Do
not overfill.
3. 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.

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).
