ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Bearings and Bushings:
All bearings and bushings are lifetime lubri-
cated and require no maintenance.
NOTE: Overfilling the engine can affect performance. Tighten the
oil fill cap securely to prevent leakage.
NOTE: Oil level must be at FULL mark.
Change Oil
every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year,
even if the snowthrower is not used for fifty hours. Use a clean,
high quality detergent oil. Fill the crank case to FULL line on dip-
stick (
A
, Figure 17). Be sure original container is marked: A.P.I.
service “SG” or higher. Do not use SAE10W40 oil (as it may not
provide proper lubrication). See Chart for oil recommendations.
To Drain Oil
— Position snowthrower so that the oil drain plug is
lowest point on engine. When the engine is warm, remove oil drain
plug (
A
, Figure 18) and oil fill cap and drain oil into a suitable con-
tainer.
Replace oil drain plug and tighten securely. Refill crank case with
the recommended motor oil.
