FILL THE FUEL TANK
This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control
System: EM (Engine Modifications).
Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded regular, unleaded premium, or
reformulated automotive gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane along with
a fuel stabilizer (follow instructions on fuel stabilizer package). D D O NOT
use leaded gasoline. We recommend that fuel stabilizer be added to the
fuel each time that gasoline is added to the fuel tank.
NOTE: Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility to improve
starting. Be certain container is clean and free from rust or
other foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale
from long periods of storage in the container.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline containing any
amount of alcohol as it can cause serious damage to
the engine or significantly reduce the performance.
WARNING: Gasoline is flammable. Always use
caution when handling or storing gasoline. Turn
engine off and let engine cool at least two minutes before
removing the gas cap. Do not add gasoline to the fuel tank
while snowthrower is running, hot, or when snowthrower is
in an enclosed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical
sparks and DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank. Never
fill the fuel tank completely; but fill the fuel tank to within 1-
1/2 inches (3.8 mm) from the top to provide space for the
expansion of the fuel. Always fill fuel tank outdoors and use
a funnel or spout to prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up
any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and keep the
cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline in a cool well
ventilated place; never in the house. Never buy more than a
30 day supply of gasoline to assure volatility. Gasoline is
intended to be used as a fuel for internal combustion
engines; therefore, do not use gasoline for any other
purpose. Since many children like the smell of gasoline,
keep it out of their reach because the fumes are dangerous
to inhale, as well as being explosive.

START THE ENGINE
Be sure that engine oil is at FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick. The
snowthrower engine is equipped with an A.C. electric starter and recoil

Start the engine as follows:
NOTE: DO NOT use the choke to start a warm engine.
NOTE: DO NOT use the primer to start a warm engine.
WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with a
three-wire power cord and plug designed to operate on
AC house hold current. The power cord must be
properly grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of
electric shock which can cause injury to the operator. Follow
all instructions carefully as set forth:
Make sure your house has a three-wire grounded system.
If you are not sure, ask a licensed electrician. If your house
does not have a three-wire grounded system, do not use this
electric starter under any condition.
If your house has a three-wire grounded system but a three-
hole receptacle is not available to connect the electric
starter, have a three-hole receptacle installed by a licensed
electrician.
WARNING: To connect power cord, always connect the
power cord first to the switch box located on the
engine and then plug the other end into a three-hole
grounded receptacle.
WARNING: To disconnect the power cord, always
unplug the end connected to the three-hole grounded
receptacle first.
