SNOW THROWER PREPARATION ADD OIL The snow thrower is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the snow blower for the first time. The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 16 fl. oz. For general use, we recommend 5W, 4-stroke engine oil. - Page 16 WARNING! Keep the area of operation free from foreign objects that can be thrown by the auger and/or impeller blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the snow thrower immediately, remove the obstruction, and inspect it for damage.
