Assembly 100679 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower NOTICE CAUTION Synthetic oil may be used after the first oil change. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures. Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume. DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank. DO NOT mix oil and gasoline. DO NOT overfill the tank.
Operation 100679 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower OPERATION Starting the Engine 1. Make sure the engine key (safety lock out) is inserted into the key hole. WARNING 2. To start a warm engine: (Fig. 14).

Operation 100679 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Operation at High Altitude 4. Stand back and to the right of the unit, pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently (Fig. 16). The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and snowblower output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level.
Operation 100679 - 24 in. 2-stage Snowblower Releasing the self-drive control handle causes the machine to stop moving. Slower Adjusting the self-propelled drive system: Auger control handle.
