CheckingtheEngineOilLevel
4.
Ensure that the scraper is 1/8 inch (3 mm) above and
parallel to a level surface.
Each time before using the snowthrower, check the oil level
in the engine crankcase.
Note: If the pavement is cracked, rough, or uneven,
adjust the skids to raise the scraper. For gravel
surfaces, adjust the skids further down to prevent the
snowthrower from picking up rocks.
1.
Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, then fully install the
dipstick.
2.
Remove the dipstick and check the oil level (Figure 42).
If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick,
add oil. Refer to Filling the Engine with Oil.
5.
6.
Move the skids down until they are even with the
ground.
Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids to the
auger sides.
Note: To quickly adjust the skids if they loosen,
support the scraper 1/8 inch (3 mm) off the pavement,
then adjust the skids down to the pavement.
Note: If the skids become excessively worn, you can
turn them over and set the unused side toward the
pavement.
CheckingandAdjustingthe
TractionCable
Check and adjust the traction cable after the first 2 operating
hours, then yearly thereafter. If the snowthrower does not
drive in the forward or reverse speeds or it drives when you
release the traction lever, adjust the traction cable.

CheckingandAdjustingthe
SkidsandScraper
With the traction lever disengaged, check the pin in the
elongated slot in the left side of the snowthrower above
the tire. There should be a gap of 1/32 to 1/16 inch (1 to
1.5 mm) from the front of the slot to the front edge of the
pin (Figure 44).
Check the skids and the scraper to ensure that the auger
does not contact the paved or gravel surface. Adjust the
skids and the scraper as needed to compensate for wear.
