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.
NOTE: When you receive a new unit that has not been run, the oil level in the expansion tank may be some- where between the bottom of the tank and near the top of the tank. After initial operation the oil level may drop because of the elimination of air bubbles in the oil line. Normal cold oil level is near the bottom of the tank. Do not add additional oil.
