ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Check Crankcase Oil Level - Before starting engine and after
each 8 hours of continuous use. Add the recommended motor oil
as required.
NOTE: Over filling the engine can affect performance. Tighten
the oil fill cap securely to prevent leakage.
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 crankcase to FULL line on dip-
stick (
A , Figure 12). Be sure original container is marked: A.P.I.
service “SF” or higher. Do not use SAE10W40 oil (as it may not
provide proper lubrication).
See Chart for oil recommendations .
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check
oil level more frequently.
