Tool Kit
Add Engine Oil
The snow blower is shipped
WITHOUT OIL
in the engine.
1. With the snow blower on a level surface, remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
2. Add oil from the included bottle of oil into the oil filler opening until it
reaches the upper limit mark on the dipstick. Do not thread the
dipstick in when checking the oil level.
All Honda engines are run at the factory prior to packaging. Most of
the oil is removed prior to shipment; however, some oil remains in
the engine. The amount of oil left in the engine varies.
3. If you don’t use the supplied oil, add enough recommended oil (see
page 15
) to bring the oil level to the upper limit mark on the
dipstick. Do not thread the dipstick in when checking the oil level.
4.
Do not overfill the engine with oil
. After filling the engine with oil,
screw the filler cap/dipstick in and remove the hang tag near the
recoil starter grip that says “
The engine has no oil
.”
