2. Push in the chute control rod until the hole in it lines up with the
third hole in the chute control head. See Figure 17.

CLEAN-OUT TOOL
WARNING
Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut
off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have
stopped before using the clean-out tool to clear the chute assembly.
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the
auger housing with a mounting clip. Should snow and ice become
lodged in the chute assembly during operation, proceed as follows to
safely clean the chute assembly and chute opening:
1. Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control.
2. Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the
rear of the auger housing.
4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to dislodge and
scoop any snow and ice which has formed in and near the chute
assembly.
5. Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of
the auger housing, reinsert the ignition key and start the snow
thrower's engine.
6. While standing in the operator's position (behind the snow
thrower), engage the auger control for a few seconds to clear any
remaining snow and ice from the chute assembly.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING
Read, understand, and follow all instructions and warnings on the
machine and in this manual before operating.
Oil
The unit was shipped with oil in the engine. Check oil level before
each operation to ensure adequate oil in the engine. For further
instructions, refer to the steps on page 18.
NOTE: Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine
stopped.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, and tighten the cap
until seated.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add
oil (5W-30, with a minimum classification of SF/SG) until oil level
registers between high (H) and low (L).
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may result in engine smoking,
hard starting or spark plug fouling.
4. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
