or multi-viscosity oils, such as 10W-30 or 10W-40.

•Reinstall the cap on the gasoline con- tainer and shake container vigorously so the oil mixes with the gasoline

WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and

caution must be used when handling or storing it. Do not fill fuel tank while snow thrower is running, hot, or when snow

thrower is in an enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical spark, and do

not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Never fill fuel tank completely; but fill the tank to within 1/4-1/2 inch from the top to provide space for expansion of fuel. Always fill fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to

prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine. Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep the cap in place on the container.

Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place; never in the house. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline to ensure volatility. Gasoline is intended to be used as a fuel for internal combustion engines; therefore, do not use gasoline for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gasoline, keep it out of their reach

because the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as being explosive.
