PRE-START
Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm oil will flow
more freely and carry away more contamination.
Remove the oil drain plug from the rear of the unit and
tip the unit back to help drain all the oil.
Frozen Impeller
IMPORTANT: Before starting engine, check impeller to
be sure it is not frozen.
Check Tire Pressure
To check impeller:
Keep tires at pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
1.
With key in STOP position, squeeze attachment
clutch lever to Engaged position.
Check Auger Gearcase
IMPORTANT: Proper oil level must be maintained.
2.
3.
Pull recoil starter handle.
Gear cases are filled to the correct level at the factory.
Unless there is evidence of leakage, no additional
lubricant should be required. Check oil level each
season or every 25 hours of operation.
If Impeller is frozen, (cannot pull starter handle)
move unit to a heated area and thaw to prevent
possible damage.
