Product Overview Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. 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. Figure 7 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

4. Shake the container to mix the gasoline and oil thoroughly. 5. Slowly remove the cap and add the remaining amount of gasoline. Note: Do not mix gasoline and oil in the fuel tank. Oil at room temperature mixes easier and more thoroughly than cold oil. Oil below 32°F (0°C) requires additional mixing Figure 13 4. Pull the recoil starter (Figure 14). Filling the Fuel Tank Fill the fuel tank with a fresh mixture of gasoline and oil mixed at the proper ratio (Figure 10). Figure 14 5.

Stopping the Rotor Blades • Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls. To stop the rotor blades, release the control bar (Figure 17). • To self-propel, raise the handle and tilt the snowthrower slightly forward, lifting the wheels off the ground. The more you tilt the handle forward, the faster the snowthrower self-propels. • If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward on slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward on the handle, but allow the snowthrower to work at its own pace.
