PREPARING THE SNOW BLOWER FOR USE
Step 1 - Add 12 ounces Oil
This snow blower requires engine oil to function. When new from the package, this snow blower contains no oil in the engine crankcase. Add
the correct quantity of oil before operating this snow blower for the first time. When replenishing oil for subsequent use of this snow blower, always
determine that this snow blower has the correct quantity of oil.
1. Confirm that the snow blower is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 1.
3. Use a funnel to add 12 ounces SAE 5W-30. When the engine crankcase is full, the oil level should reach up to the threads. (Figure 2)
4. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap.
Step 2 – Add 51 ounces of Unleaded Gasoline Fuel
Add Unleaded gasoline only with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Maximum Capacity: 51 ounces (0.398438 Gallons) (Figure 3)
