2. Secure left side of deflector to discharge chute using
parts as illustrated in Figure 12. Make sure rubber
washer and friction plate are positioned between chute
and deflector and friction plate tabs fit into holes in
deflector. See Figure 12 for proper installation
sequence of parts.
Note: Concave side of curved washer goes against
large flat washer.

3. Tighten nuts on both sides of deflector. Do not
over-tighten nuts so that excessive force is required to
change deflector angle.
Check Tire Pressure
IMPORTANT: Check pressure of tires because they
are over-inflated at the factory for shipping. Therefore,
before the snowthrower is operated, reduce pressure in
both tires to 7-15 psi equally.
Before Starting
ENGINES WHICH ARE CERTIFIED TO COMPLY
WITH CALIFORNIA AND U.S. EPA EMISSION
REGULATIONS FOR ULGE ENGINES: Are certified
to operate on regular unleaded gasoline. Include the
following emission control system(s): EM, TWC (if so
equipped); Do not include any user adjustable features –
therefore no other adjustments are needed.
Fill Crankcase With Oil
The engine is shipped from the factory without oil in the
crankcase. Therefore, before starting the engine, oil must
be added to the crankcase.
IMPORTANT: Check level of oil every 5 operating
hours or each time unit is used. Initially, change oil
after the first 2 hours of operation; thereafter, under
normal conditions, change oil after every 25 hours of
operation or annually, whichever comes first.
1. Move unit to a level surface to ensure an accurate oil
level reading.
2. Clean area around dipstick to prevent foreign matter
from entering filler hole when dipstick is removed.
3. Remove dipstick from crankcase (Fig. 13).

4. Slowly pour 21 ounces (0.621 liters) of SAE 5W–30 or
SAE 10 oil into the filler hole. The engine uses any
high-quality detergent oil having the American
Petroleum Institute (API) “service classification”—SF,
SG, SH or SH/CD.
Note: Dipstick must be fully installed to ensure
accurate gauging of oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
POUR OIL SLOWLY.
