WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
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.
CAUTION:
Alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-
tract moisture which leads to separation and
formation 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
30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start

Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt
A.C.electric starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.

2.
Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
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.

Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.
•
To change engine oil, see “TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL”
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se-

ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 19)
•
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.
