OIL EXPANSION

PEDAL

TANK

FIG. 13

IMPORTANT: Your model snow thrower is equipped with an oil expansion tank attached to the hydrostat- ic transmission (see fig. 13). As you run your snow thrower, the oil level will rise in this tank as the oil heats up and recess as the oil cools. This is normal operation. You do not need to add oil to this tank as part of regular maintenance.

The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear

safety glasses or eye shields while operating your snow thrower or performing any adjust- ments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses

or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
