Operation

Before Operation

Safety

•
Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by
the manufacturer for all machines with electric-starting
motors.
•
Do not operate the machine without wearing adequate
winter garments. Avoid loose fitting clothing that can get
caught in moving parts. Wear slip resistant footwear that
will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
•
Always eye protection during operation or while
performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes
from foreign objects that the machine may throw.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where you will use the
machine and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires,
and other foreign objects.
•
If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged, illegible, or
lost, repair or replace it before beginning operation. Also,
tighten any loose fasteners.

Filling the Fuel Tank

•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days
old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or
higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol)
or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume
is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not
approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more
than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15%
ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains
85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage which may
not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers
over the winter unless you use a fuel stabilizer.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
1. 6 mm (1/4 inch)
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.

Checking the Engine-Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the
engine-oil level and add oil if necessary.
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Clean around the oil-fill cap
1. Oil-fill cap
3. Unscrew the oil-fill cap and remove it.
4. If the oil level is low, keep the machine in the operating
position and carefully pour oil into the crankcase
until the point of overflow. Wait 3 minutes for the oil
to settle and add enough to bring it to the point of
overflow. (Max. fill: 0.60 L (20 oz), type: SAE 30
detergent oil with an API service classification of SJ,
SL, or higher.)
