CHECKING THE OIL
Check the oil level of the engine according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule above. The
engine should be checked before each use for proper oil level. This is a critical step for proper engine
starting. To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the snow blower is on a level surface.
2. Clean around oil fill. Remove dipstick and wipe the
dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil
fill opening without screwing in. Remove the dipstick to
check the oil mark. Add oil if the oil mark covers less
than one half of the dipstick.
3. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 2 until the oil mark
reaches to the top of dipstick. Do not over fill the
crankcase.
4. Reinstall oil dipstick.
