Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner regularly during operation
and storage. A stabilizer/conditioner cleans the engine
during operation and prevents gum-like varnish deposits
from forming in the engine during periods of storage.
Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
Important
Do not use fuel additives other than a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel stabilizers with an
alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol.

Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the pressure of the tires because they are
overinflated at the factory for shipping. Reduce the
pressure equally in both tires to between 12 and 15 psi
(82 and 103 kPa).
Danger
When fueling, under certain circumstances, a
static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and damage property.
Reviewing the Maintenance
Schedule
•
•
Always place gasoline containers on the ground
and away from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
When practical, remove gasoline-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel
the equipment with its wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, not from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If you must use a gasoline dispenser nozzle, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
Review the Recommended Maintenance Schedule on
page 18. You may need to perform one or more additional
procedures before or soon after you begin operating the
snowthrower.
