Caution
If you leave the wire on the spark plug, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously
injure you or other bystanders.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any maintenance. Set the wire aside so
that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Checking the Engine Oil Level
3. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and ensure that
the wire does not contact the spark plug (Fig. 18).
Every time you use the snowthrower, first ensure that the
oil level is between the Add and the Full marks on the
dipstick.

If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick,
slowly pour only enough oil into the filler hole to raise
the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick.
6. Check the level of grease in the gearbox. The grease
should be visible through the opening.
Note: Use only a high-quality, SAE 5W–30 or SAE 10
weight detergent oil that has the American Petroleum
Institute (API) service classification SF, SG, SH, or SJ.
For extremely cold conditions (below 0°F or –18°C),
use 0W–30 weight detergent oil that has the American
Petroleum Institute (API) service classification SF, SG,
SH, or SJ.
7. If the level of grease is low, add Lubriplate MAG-1
grease (a low-temperature, high-pressure grease) to the
gearbox until the point of overflow.

Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the cap
clockwise until it is tight.
Adjust the skids and the scraper initially and then as needed

surface. Also, adjust them as needed to compensate for
wear.
