BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Before you service or start the en- gine, familiarize yourself with the snow thrower. Be sure you under- stand the function and location of all controls.

2.Check the tension of clutch cable before starting the engine. See To Adjust The Control Cable para-

graph in the Service & Adjust- ments section of this manual.

3.Be sure that all fasteners are tight.

4.Make sure the height adjust skids are properly adjusted. See To Ad- just Skid Height paragraph in the Service & Adjustments section of this manual.

5.Check tire pressure (14-17

pounds). Do not exceed maximum amount of pressure.

CHECK THE OIL:

NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil. Check the lev- el of the oil. Add oil as needed.

To Add Oil

1. Make sure the unit is level.

NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the engine runs.

2.Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe with a clean cloth.

3.Insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and turn clockwise to tighten.

4.Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and check the oil.

5.If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the oil fill

cap/dipstick (see Figure 13). Do not add too much oil.

FILL GAS:

This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications).

fuels (called gasohol or

_ARNING: Alcohol blended those using ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys- tem of an engine while in storage.

NOTE: To avoid engine problems, the fuel system must be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See the Storage section in this manual for additional in- formation.
