Checking the Engine Oil Level
Every time you use the snowthrower, first ensure that the
oil level is between the Add and the Full marks on the
dipstick.
1.
2.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Move the snowthrower to a level surface to ensure an
accurate oil level reading.
3.
4.

1. Pipe plug
Install the dipstick into the filler neck, then remove it.
Note: To ensure an accurate oil level reading, you must
fully install the dipstick.
Adjusting the Skids and the
Scraper
7.
8.
Read the oil level on the dipstick.
Adjust the skids and the scraper initially and then as needed
to ensure that the auger does not contact the paved or gravel
surface. Also, adjust them as needed to compensate for
wear.
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.
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.
1.
2.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Move the snowthrower to a level surface.
3. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and ensure that
the wire does not contact the plug (Fig. 17).
4.
5.
Check the tire pressure in the tires. Refer to Checking
the Tire Pressure on page 13.
Important
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil and
run the engine; engine damage will result. Drain the excess
oil until the oil level on the dipstick reads Full.
Loosen the 4 flange nuts that secure both skids to the
auger side plates (Fig. 21) until the skids slide up and
down easily.
9.
Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the cap
clockwise until it is tight.
Checking the Auger Gearbox
Grease
1
The auger gearbox is packed with 5 oz. (140 g) of
Lubriplate MAG-1 (a low-temperature, high-pressure
grease) and is sealed at the factory. The pipe plug (Fig. 20)
is for factory use only; you do not need to check or add
grease. If the gearbox is leaking grease, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
