WARNING
Always keep hands and feet clear of equipment moving parts. Do not
use a pressurized starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.

Fill the tank until the fuel reaches 1/2" below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill.

Checking and Adding Oil

CAUTION

engine with oil before operating. Running the engine with insufficient
oil can cause serious engine damage and void the product warranty.
1. Place the snow thrower on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean. See
Figure 11.

3. Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
4. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil
until oil level registers between high (H) and low (L), Figure 11.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard
starting, or spark plug fouling.
5. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the "L" mark on the
dipstick. Doing so may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
