Checking the Auger
Gearbox Oil Level
Check the auger gearbox oil annually, and add oil if
necessary.
1. Move the snowthrower to a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the pipe plug.
3. Remove the pipe plug from the gearbox.
4. Check the level of oil in the gearbox. The oil
should be at the point of overflowing at the filler
opening.
5. If the level of oil is low, add GL-5 or GL-6,
SAE 85–95 EP transmission oil to the gearbox until
the point of overflow.
Note: Do not use synthetic oil.
6. Install the pipe plug in the gearbox.

Changing the Engine Oil

Change the engine oil after the first 2 operating hours,
then annually thereafter. If possible, run the engine
just before changing the oil because warm oil flows
better and carries more contaminants.
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.
