4. Insert the front end of the rod into the opening in the
back of the chute gear cover until it slides into the chute
gear (Figure 10).

2 carriage bolts (in the loose parts bag) through the
short rod from the left side of the snowthrower (from
the operating position).

4. 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 12).
Figure 12
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.

5. 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).
6. Checking the Skids and
Scraper
Refer to Checking and Adjusting the Skids and Scraper in
Maintenance.
