3. Filling the Engine with Oil Product Overview ENGINE See engine manual. 13 LUBRICATION Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SG–SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature. NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F.
PAGE 7
Operation NOTE: For best results, purchase only the quantity of gasoline that you expect to use in 30 days. Otherwise, you may add fuel stabilizer to newly purchased gasoline to keep it fresh for up to 6 months. NOTE: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Checking the Engine Oil Level • Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others.

Starting the Engine 3. Firmly push in the primer 3 times with your thumb, holding the primer in a for a second before releasing it each time (Figure 12). 1. Push key in (Figure 10). 1 1 Figure 12 1. Key 1. Primer Figure 10 NOTE: Remove your glove when you push in the primer so that air cannot escape from the primer hole. IMPORTANT: Do not use the primer or the choke if the engine has been running and is hot. Excessive priming may flood the engine and prevent it from starting. 2.

Engaging the Auger Blades The electrical cord can become damaged, causing a shock or fire. Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before plugging it into a power source. If the cord is damaged, do not use it to start the snowthrower. Replace or repair the damaged cord immediately. Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for assistance. To engage the auger blades, hold the control bar against the handle (Figure 15). 1 1 Figure 15 1. Control bar Disengaging the Auger Blades Figure 14 1.
PAGE 10
Stopping the Engine Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute To stop the engine, pull key out (Figure 17). Hand contact with the rotating auger blades inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute. To clear the chute: 1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF! 2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger blades have stopped rotating. 3. Always use a clearing tool at least 15 inches long, not your hands (Figure 19). 1 1.
PAGE 11
Operating Tips • The auger blades can throw stones, toys, and other foreign objects and cause serious personal injury to the operator or to bystanders. • Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects that the auger blades could pick up and throw. • Keep all children and pets away from the area of operation. • Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions impair visibility. Throwing snow during a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower.
