8. If the oil level is below the Add mark on the dipstick, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler hole to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick. Before Starting Filling the Engine Crankcase with Oil Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil and run the engine; engine damage will result. Drain the excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick reads Full. The engine comes from the factory with only a few ounces of oil in the crankcase. Before starting the engine, add oil.
Reviewing the Maintenance Schedule Danger When fueling, under certain circumstances, a static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and damage property. Review the Recommended Maintenance Schedule on page 18. You may need to perform one or more additional procedures before or soon after you begin operating the snowthrower. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling.
• Discharge Chute Control (Fig. 14)—Rotate the discharge chute control clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left; counterclockwise to move the chute to the right. 1 • Chute Deflector Handle (Fig. 14)—Move the deflector handle forward to move the snow stream down; move it rearward to move the snow stream up. 934 • Fuel Shutoff Valve (Fig. 14)—Close the valve by rotating it clockwise. Open the valve by rotating it counterclockwise. Close the valve when you do not use the snowthrower. Figure 16 1.

Excessive priming may flood the engine and prevent it from starting.
Stopping the Engine Snowthrowing Tips 1. Engage the auger to clear any remaining snow from inside the housing. Danger 2. Run the engine for a few minutes to dry off any accumulated moisture. When the snowthrower is in operation, the impeller and auger can be rotating and cut off or injure hands and feet. 3. Release the auger/impeller drive control lever and the traction control lever (Fig. 14).
• Do not overload the snowthrower by clearing snow at too fast a rate. If the engine slows down, shift the snowthrower into a lower gear to reduce the forward speed. • In wet or slushy conditions, maintain maximum engine speed, and do not overload the engine to prevent clogging the discharge chute. • If the front of the snowthrower tends to ride up, reduce the forward speed by shifting the snowthrower into a lower gear.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Checking the Engine Oil Level Every time you use the snowthrower, first ensure that the oil level is between the Add and the Full marks on the dipstick. 1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Move the snowthrower to a level surface to ensure an accurate oil level reading. 3. Clean around the dipstick (Fig. 13). 1 4. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap counterclockwise and pulling it out (Fig. 13). 652 Figure 20 1. Pipe plug 5. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth. 6.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and ensure that the wire does not contact the plug (Fig. 17). 6. Support the auger blades so that they are 1/8 inch (3 millimeters) off the ground (Fig. 22). 3. Move the speed selector (Fig. 14) on the control panel to the R2 (Reverse) position. 3 4. Remove the cotter pin and the flat washer (Fig. 5). 2 5. Pull the speed selector rod out of the hole in the speed selector arm (Fig. 5). 2 6.

Adjusting the Auger/Impeller Drive Belt 2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and ensure that the wire does not contact the plug (Fig. 17). 3. Remove the 3 bolts that hold the belt cover in place and set the cover aside (Fig. 23). Operating the snowthrower with an auger/impeller drive belt that slips decreases the snowthrowing performance and damages the belt. Check the auger/impeller drive belt for the proper tension after the first operating hour, after every 5 operating hours thereafter.
Important Do not operate the snowthrower if the auger and the impeller rotate when you disengage the auger/impeller drive control lever. Lubricating the Snowthrower Lightly lubricate all moving parts of the snowthrower after every 15 operating hours and at the end of the snowthrowing season. 1 Important Do not get oil or grease on the rubber wheel or friction drive plate because the wheel will slip and the rubber may deteriorate. m-2679 1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Changing the Engine Oil 1 Change the engine oil after the first 2 operating hours, after every 25 operating hours, and at the end of the snowthrowing season. If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil because warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants. 110 Figure 33 1. 0.030 in. (0.76 mm) 1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug and ensure that the wire does not contact the spark plug (Fig. 17). 7.
2. Clean the snowthrower. Storage 3. Touch up chipped surfaces with paint available from an Authorized Service Dealer. Sand affected areas before painting, and use a rust preventative to prevent the metal parts from rusting. Warning 4. Tighten any loose fasteners. Repair or replace any damaged parts. Gasoline fumes are highly flammable, explosive, and dangerous if inhaled. If the product is stored in an area with an open flame, the gasoline fumes may ignite and cause an explosion. 5.
