Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.

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 substantial, slip-resistant
footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
•
Always wear safety glasses or 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

5
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline
6
with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating
method).
7
•
Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE
by volume is acceptable.
•
Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline (such as E15
or E85) with more than 10% ethanol by volume.
Performance problems and/or engine damage may result
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.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline
less than 30 days old.
