Maintaining

Your Snow

Thrower

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi- viscosity oils also result in higher oil consump- tion when used above 32ºF (0ºC). Check your snow thrower’s engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

NOTE: Do not sand- blast spark plug. Spark plug should be cleaned by scraping or wire brushing and washing with a commercial solvent.

IMPORTANT NEVER replace the auger shear pins with standard pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other com- ponents, as a result of doing so, will NOT be covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.
