ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Checking Engine Oil Level

and Adding Oil to Engine

Changing the Engine Oil

Before each use, check the engine oil level. Also, while using the snowthrower, stop the engine and check its oil level every five hours of operation.

To check the engine oil level:

1.Shut the engine off.

2.Unscrew the dipstick (Figure 5-1, Item A). Use a clean cloth to wipe the dipstick.

3.Re-insert the dipstick into the oil fill tube. Firmly screw the dipstick all the way back into the oil fill tube.

4.Unscrew the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be between the FULL and ADD marks on the dipstick.

5.If the oil level is low, add oil as follows:

A.Remove the dipstick.

B.Insert the clean funnel into the oil fill tube.

C.Slowly pour oil into the funnel. While pouring, stop frequently, remove the funnel, reinstall the dipstick, then remove it and check the oil level. Don'toverfill the engine with oil.

D.When the engine oil level is correct, securely reinstall the dipstick.

After the very first two hours that you operate your snowthrower, change the engine oil. After this initial engine oil change, change the engine oil every 25 hours of operation (or at the end of the snow throwing season, whichever comes first).

To change the engine oil:

1.Start the engine. Allow it to warm up to operating temperature.

2.SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.

3.Fold a piece of cardboard (approximately 3 inches by 6 inches) lengthwise into a shallow "V". See Figure 5-2.

4.Use a 3/8-inch open end wrench (or an adjustable wrench) to loosen (not remove) the engine oil drain plug (Figure 5-2, Item B).

5.Place the folded cardboard beneath the drain plug as shown in Figure 5-2.

6.Place a container (minimum capacity of 1 quart) underneath the end of the cardboard to catch the draining oil.
