SNOW THROWER PREPARATION

Step 1 - ADD OIL
The snow thrower is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the
snow blower for the first time. The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 20.29 fl. oz. For general
use, we recommend 5W-30, 4-stroke engine oil.
Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service
classifications SJ, SL, or SM (synthetic oils may be used). Use the ASE viscosity grade of oil from
the following chart that matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil changes.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the snow thrower is on a level surface. Tilting the snow
and will cause damage. Keep snow thrower level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. Add oil slowly as to not overflow the unit.
4. To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the
dipstick into the oil fill opening without screwing it in. Remove the
dipstick to check the oil mark.
5. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark reaches to
the top of the dipstick. Do not overfill the crankcase.
