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 dipstick (
A
,
Figure 15). 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.
Drain Oil
- Position snowthrower so that the oil drain plug (
A
,
Figure 16) is lowest point on engine. When the engine is warm,
remove oil drain plug and oil fill cap and drain oil into a suitable
container.
Replace oil drain plug and tighten securely. Refill crankcase with
the recommended motor oil.
*
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.
