ASSEMBLY
Checking Oil Level on Engines with Quarter-Turn Oil
Fill Caps
NOTE: Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine stopped.
To avoid engine damage, it is important to:
• Check oil level before each use and every 5 operating hours when engine is
warm. Check oil level more frequently during engine break-in.
• Keep oil level between "H" and "L" marks on dipstick. See Figure 10.
• Be sure oil fill cap/plug is tightened securely when checking.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean. See Figure 10.
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 until oil
level registers between high (H) and low (L), Figure 10.
4. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard starting, or
spark plug fouling.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the "L" mark on the dipstick. Doing so
may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
NOTE: To change the oil on your engine, see the Maintenance Section of the engine
operator's manual included with the snow thrower.
