Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury. (f) Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times, until refueling is complete. [. . . ] €¢ Do not tip the snowthrower with fuel in the fuel tank. The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your snow thrower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles. IMPORTANT: Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel or attempting to start the engine. 19 Filling the Fuel Tank Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded gasoline; (minimum 87 AKI octane rating). Alternative fuels with high alcohol content can cause hard starting, poor engine performance, and may cause internal engine damage. NOTE: For best results, purchase only the quantity of gasoline that you expect to use in 30 days. Otherwise, you may add fuel stabilizer to newly purchased gasoline to keep it fresh for up to 6 months. Remove either side mounted filler cap dipstick or high oil fill dipstick (1) and wipe it clean. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and turn clockwise until fully seated. NOTE: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. NOTE: Running the engine with too much oil may cause engine damage and excess smoke in the exhaust. Firmly push in the primer (3) 2 times with your thumb, holding the primer in a for a second before releasing it each time. NOTE: Remove your glove when you push in the primer so that air cannot escape from the primer hole. IMPORTANT: It may not be necessary to use the primer or the choke if the engine has been running and is hot. 3 2 Pull the recoil starter (5) or if your snow thrower is equipped with an electric starter, connect an extension cord to the snow thrower and plug the other end into a three-hole grounded 220 volt A. NOTE: Use an extension cord recommended for outdoor use that is not longer than 50 feet (15 m). Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before plugging it into a power source. IMPORTANT: Run the electric starter no more than 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off. If the engine does not start after this series of attempts, wait at least 40 minutes to allow the starter to cool before attempting to start it again. If the engine does not start after the second series of attempts, take the snowthrower to an Authorized Service Dealer for service. [. . . ] Reinstall two screws (4) in the plenum (5) that attach to the top cover (7). 55 4 5 6 7 Replacing the Auger V-Belt If auger v-belt becomes worn, oil-soaked, excessively cracked, frayed, or otherwise damaged, replace the belt. NOTE: Route the new auger v-belt first around the engine pulley (6), then the idler pulley (5), and finally around the drive pulley (3) while pressing down on the front of the idler arm (4). NOTE: Ensure belt keeper on the plastic side panel engages between belt and frame before bolting down. [. . . ]
