CHANGING/ADDING OIL
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule. Change the oil when the engine is
warm. This will allow for complete drainage. Change oil more often if operating under heavy load. It is
also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with water or dirt. The oil
capacity of the engine is 20 fl.oz. Add oil when the oil level is low. For general use, we recommend 5W,
4-stroke engine oil.
To drain oil, follow these steps:
1. Place a container underneath the engine to catch oil as it drains.
2. Using a wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug. Allow all the oil to drain
from the engine.
3. Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten with a wrench.
To refill the crankcase with oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the snow blower is on a level surface. Tilting the snow blower to assist in filling will cause oil to
flow into engine areas and will cause damage. Keep snow blower level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. Using a funnel or appropriate dispenser, add the correct amount of oil (20 fl.oz) into the crankcase. The
engine is equipped with a low oil sensor and will not start if the amount of oil is insufficient.
4. Reinstall dipstick.
NOTE: Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash or down a drain. Please call a local recycling center or auto
garage to arrange oil disposal.
