Operation
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others.
•
To prevent a static charge from igniting
the gasoline, place the container and/or
snowthrower on the ground before filling,
not in a vehicle or on an object.
•
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
•
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
•
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline
from a major name-brand service station (Figure 17).
Important:
To reduce starting problems, add
fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old.
Do not add oil to
the gasoline.
