CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 17)
to adjust the skid plates.
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for  current  surface conditions.  For  removal  of  snow in
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid  plates in the  highest position  (lowest scraper
clearance) to give  a 1/8" clearance between  the scraper
bar and the ground.  Use  a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.
1.
Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
2.   Remove  oil fill  cap/dipstick and  wipe clean, reinsert
the dipstick  and screw tight,  wait for a  few seconds,
remove and  read oil level. If  necessary, add  oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower
over gravel or rocky surfaces.Objects such as gravel, rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property
damage or damage to the snow thrower.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 17)
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-
fill.  Use fresh, clean, regular  unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted
to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position.
WARNING:  Wipe off any spilled oil  or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended  fuels (called gas-
ohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which  leads  to separation  and for-
mation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.  To  avoid engine  problems, the  fuel
system should  be emptied before  storage of
